We've just returned from our 3rd charter with our daughters, now 12 and 10. Highlights are always Bubbly Pool on JVD, snorkeling Cistern Point at Cooper Island, and Norman. They really love Norman and jumping off the Willy T (we go for early lunch before it gets too crowded). As for North Sound, Leverick is great, but we also like staying over by Saba Rock and getting them onto the beach at Prickly Pear. Beach trips on Anegada over to Cow Wreck are fun for everyone. We also added Scuba Certification in on this trip (did classroom and pool sessions up north and referral dives down there). This was a huge addition to the trip, but not a small commitment from a time and financial standpoint. Still, watching my 10 year old figure out Scuba diving was pretty cool. The truth is, there are very few places down there they have not enjoyed. The way we try to do it with the kids is wake up, light breakfast, get going early and get to our days destination by 11-12. Quick swim, then lunch on board followed by whatever fun thing we are going to do (hike to bubbly pool, snorkel cistern point, whatever), then chill on and around the boat until 630 dinner ashore because EVERYONE is usually too cooked to go any later than that. Its really a great way to do a family trip, and I found this last trip to be the most satisfying yet because 12 and 10 are great ages for boats. Hope you have an amazing time!
