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. You may also consider a small splash proof or waterproof grab bag (3L / IPX4 minimum), to store your essential belongings (passport, mobile phone, credit card, home keys) while onboard. This is in the unlikely event we need to abandon the vessel swiftly and jump into the safety raft.

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.

Travel light! There’s no need to bring five pairs of pants, six pairs of shorts, and ten t-shirts. Most people come on board with more clothing than they end up using. Pack light and wisely. You won’t need to dress up for evening meals at fancy restaurants. And the dress code for dinner at the Captain’s Table —when and if invited, is said to be pretty much informal! laughing
