Why Hiring a Superyacht Nanny Is a Game-Changer for Luxury Family Travel


When you’re cruising through the Caribbean, anchoring in the Med, or hopping between private islands, your family deserves more than standard childcare. You need a superyacht nanny — a highly trained professional who travels with you and delivers personalized, hands-on care at sea.

At Little Angels Nanny Service, we specialize in placing elite, travel-ready nannies for ultra-high-net-worth families worldwide. Whether you own a yacht or are planning a luxury charter, our nannies provide stability, safety, and enrichment for your children — no matter the location.


🚤 What Is a Superyacht Nanny?

superyacht nanny is a seasoned childcare expert with experience in high-end travel environments. These professionals are comfortable living aboard, coordinating with yacht crew, and managing children’s schedules while navigating international waters.

They are:

  • Travel-Ready (with valid passports and visas)
  • Trained in Maritime Safety (many hold STCW certification)
  • CPR and First Aid Certified
  • Adaptable, discreet, and comfortable working within luxury family settings

🌍 Where We Place Superyacht Nannies

Our nannies are placed on luxury vessels worldwide, including:

  • Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale & Miami Beach (Florida’s yachting capital)
  • Newport, Rhode Island & The Hamptons (Northeast summer ports)
  • Monaco, Ibiza, Cannes & the Greek Isles (popular in the Mediterranean season)
  • St. Barths, Antigua, Bahamas & BVI (prime winter charter routes)
  • Private international charters from ports around the world

We are based in South Florida, but we serve yacht clients globally.


✅ Why Hire a Nanny for Your Superyacht?

1. 24/7 Peace of Mind

Your children will have consistent, round-the-clock care — onboard and ashore — from someone you trust. Whether you’re enjoying a formal dinner or diving into a reef, your nanny ensures the kids are safe, engaged, and cared for.

2. Seamless Integration with Yacht Crew

Superyacht nannies understand yachting etiquette, confidentiality, and how to navigate working alongside deckhands, chefs, stews, and captains without disrupting workflow.

3. Hands-On Enrichment & Education

From marine biology lessons on the aft deck to arts and crafts in the salon, your nanny brings creativity, structure, and fun to every moment of the journey.

4. Simplified Transitions Across Time Zones

Children thrive on routine — and yachts rarely operate on one. A superyacht nanny provides predictability in an otherwise fluid environment.


💼 What Does a Superyacht Nanny Cost?

Hiring a superyacht nanny is an investment in peace of mind and premium service. Here’s what to expect:

  • Weekly Salary: $1,500 – $2,500+ per week depending on experience, itinerary, and expectations
  • Travel Costs: Flights, travel days, insurance, and transfers covered by the family or charter host
