Warm Locations Packing List

Notes

Sleeping Arrangements: Pillows, bed linen and sheets are provided on board.

Luggage: For storage reasons please avoid hard-shell luggage. A duffle bag or a frameless travel backpack is the best way to go.

Laundry: Some marinas have washing facilities, but it’s not guaranteed.

Power: USB-A charging points are available. The 230V AC outlet only work when moored and connected to shore power, not while at sea.

If you need some guidance before buying and check whether what you already own is fine for your next passage, don’t hesitate to contact us.
