A few suggestions and some advice:

Must haves :

  • 2 pairs of sunglasses
  • Caps, visor or bob hat
  • Sun cream and total block (for your nose!!)
  • Personal medication (all boats are equipped with a standard onboard pharmacy that meets the current norms for the sailing category)
  • Identity papers (passport or identity card valid at your destination)

Basic clothing :

  • Shorts, t-shirt
  • Swimwear
  • Light clothing covering arms and legs for long cruises in the sun
  • Jumpers for the evening
  • Flexible-soled deck shoes (Rigid-soled shoes / high heels are prohibited onboard)
  • Shoes / trainers for when you are on dry land
  • Windcheater, wind-resistant jumper and sailors’ trousers (warm during night sailings)

Onboard leisure :

  • When at sea, time enters a new dimension. Books, board games, cards and CDs are to be taken onboard.

Luggage :

  • Less packing! We all tend to take too many clothes onboard a boat
  • Travel bags, no suitcases
  • A rucksack for when you go for walks or go shopping

Unfortunately, animals are not permitted onboard.
