What to Bring for a Day on a Yacht: The Complete Guide

The Definitive Guide to Your Day on a Yacht

About to step aboard a yacht for the first time? Or a regular who wants to be sure nothing has been forgotten? Here is the complete YACHT~ME guide.

What to Bring — The Essentials

Sun Protection

• SPF 50+ sunscreen (the glare off the water intensifies UV rays)
• Sunglasses with a retaining strap
• A wide-brimmed hat

Clothing

• Swimwear (bring two, so you can change)
• A cover-up or a light sarong
• A sweatshirt or windproof jacket for the evening
• Shoes with light-coloured soles (dark soles leave marks on the deck)

Accessories

• A beach towel (we provide them on board, but having your own to lie on is handy)
• A waterproof bag for your phone and documents
• Seasickness tablets (if you are prone to it)

What NOT to Bring

• Hard suitcases — soft bags stow far better
• High heels — dangerous on deck
• Heavy perfume — it attracts insects at sea
• Too much of anything — everything you need is already on board
