This itinerary would be suitable for a family that has no real sailing experience, and might be seasick on longer sailing trips. Keeping the distances short and time on the water average is much better. It also gives plenty of opportunities to see the islands and villages along the way.
If you have sailing experience then the sailing can be made more challenging, by having you actually run the yacht if you wish. The captain will be in the back ground helping when needed.
