What to Pack?

Here's a packing checklist you can print out. PACKING LIST.

While packing for a trip abroad is very individualized and highly subjective here are some general guidelines to bear in mind while packing.

• Storage space on a boat is very limited, no “hard” suitcases, canvas ‘duffle-style’ only. You may also want to have a waterproof day pack or hand bag for dinghy trips to shore

• You will have no personal access to electricity on the boat

• Conserving water is of the utmost importance

• Anything can potentially get wet

• You will be exposed to the elements (sun, wind, sea spray)

• Even on hot days, evenings/nights can be chilly on a boat

• International travel often involves long waits in long lines, don’t get mad, bring along anything that will make you more comfortable (including a snack)

• If your luggage were to arrive days late (or not at all) what items could you manage without? These automatically go in your “carry-on”

• Though we have a very casual attitude on the boat, our host countries are offended by tourists visiting religious historiical sites in beach attire.
