Soft-sided luggage (duffel bags) is a great idea as storage on most sailing yachts is limited and big hard-sided suitcases or wheeled suitcases are difficult to store. Bathing suits are the mainstay of your wardrobe. Bring 3-4 suits as you will be wearing them most of the time. Hats are a good idea also as you will be in the sun a lot. You do not need to bring beach towels as they will be provided. Bring only creamy sunscreens as oily lotions and spray lotions can stain the wood and fabric on the yacht. Bring your camera! Let’s not forget your passports. Make sure that your passport is valid for more than six months from your travel date. This often catches our clients by surprise. Also, we recommend that you make a copy of your passport and leave it home in case you lose your passport while abroad.
