Packing for a luxury yacht charter is a little different than packing for other vacations. Convenience stores, groceries, and other quick stops are not necessarily accessible at the drop of a that. This means you need to make sure you pack all of the necessities for your trip. That being said, the private boat will be equipped with plenty of amenities, fully stocked with food for your trip, and have towels and linens included. Just be sure to pack all of the personal items that you will need, and the captain and crew will make sure everything else is in order.
Some of the Most Important Items to Pack for a Private Charter
The clothing that you pack for your time aboard should be comfortable and versatile. It is important to consider your charter itinerary when determining what clothing to pack. Will you and your guests be enjoying five-star meals where you will want to dress on the fancier side, or will you be dining al fresco in a more casual setting? Footwear is an important consideration for your time aboard also. Pack shoes that are comfortable. Water shoes are also a great option to pack, especially if you plan to explore the local sea life at beaches or some of the local vegetation. Some yachts do have requirements about footwear, preferring you to avoid high heels or hard soled shoes, so you may want to check with your yacht broker prior to departure.
Sun protection is a must during your time at sea. Be sure to have plenty of sunblock with you. You will also want to make sure your personal hygiene products are packed and ready. Other personal items to pack include reading materials, electronics or music players, and power cords for charging your devices.
A luxury yacht charter offers a great way to escape the rigors of everyday life. Bring those items that you can’t do without but don’t be afraid to unplug during your trip, turning your phone or computer off entirely, so that you can fully be present in the experience. If you miss packing anything, it is likely that your crew can help you make do so be sure to let them know.
