If the Captain doesn't have to spend his week crawling over Given luggage in the engine room. The ideal charter guest is one who comes aboard with one duffel bag for the week's charter. Hard soled shoes are not permitted on most yachts. Rubber sandals are ideal and can be cleaned easily after shore trips. Bring at least one pair of rubber bottomed shoes for prowling shallow reefs and treks ashore to the sugar mill ruins and the like.
Oils are slippery, staining and often too intensifying for the strong sun rays in the islands.
Don't forget the light long p.j. Some resort shops will have film, but they are often limited selections. Rather than miss those priceless shots, have plenty aboard rather than make the ship come to a stop. Checks are unacceptable. If your face is exceptionally narrow or wide, you might shop for the right fit before coming to the islands.
