A trip aboard a BVI yacht charter promises sun-soaked days, turquoise waters, and unforgettable island-hopping experiences. Packing smartly ensures you have everything you need without overloading your cabin space. Here’s a guide to help you prepare.
Lightweight, Breathable Clothing
The Caribbean climate is warm and sunny year-round, so bring light fabrics like cotton and linen. Include swimsuits, cover-ups, and casual evening wear for dinners ashore.
Sun Protection Essentials
The tropical sun can be intense. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, and a light long-sleeve shirt for added protection.
Footwear for Land and Sea
Flip-flops are perfect for onboard comfort, while sturdy sandals or water shoes are ideal for exploring beaches, trails, and docks. Avoid hard-soled shoes that can damage the deck.
Personal Gear and Toiletries
Bring travel-sized toiletries, a reusable water bottle, and a quick-dry towel. If you plan on snorkeling, you might prefer to bring your own mask and snorkel for comfort.
Electronics and Entertainment
A waterproof phone case, camera, and a good book or e-reader are great for downtime. Don’t forget chargers and portable power banks.
Small First-Aid Kit
Though most yachts are equipped with basic supplies, having your own seasickness remedies, band-aids, and pain relievers can be helpful.
Travel light—soft-sided luggage is best for easy storage in your cabin. With thoughtful packing, you’ll have everything you need to fully enjoy your sailing charter yacht prepared, relaxed, and ready to explore the beauty of the British Virgin Islands with Charter Smarter.
