What to pack for a sailing <\/strong>holiday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re planning a sailing holiday, congratulations! You’re in for an unforgettable experience exploring some of the most beautiful waters in the world. Perhaps you\u2019re an experienced salty sailor with your duffle bag perpetually on standby. But for some of us, packing for that much-anticipated holiday will take a bit more thoughtful consideration \u2013\u00a0especially if it\u2019s a new type of adventure! Afterall, packing for a boat cruise is not quite the same as for a standard land-based trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right packing list for your sailing destination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, while many choose to sail in the balmy Caribbean, sunny Mediterranean<\/a> or exotic South Pacific<\/a>, not all charter destinations boast toasty warm temperatures year-round. Check your destination\u2019s weather forecasts so you can properly prepare for chilly, windy or rainy conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, remember that nighttime temperatures are often much cooler \u2013 especially on or near the water! <\/p>\n\n\n

Many experienced sailing charterers will tell you \u2013 nearly everyone over-packs (by a lot!) on their first boating holiday. Remember that your chosen holiday platform is a boat \u2013 it\u2019s uber casual and designed for water-based fun!\u00a0 If you\u2019re in a warm destination you\u2019ll likely spend most of your time in a bathing suit, shorts, tees, sun shirt or casual coverup.\u00a0 In most destinations, even the nicer restaurants expect that tourists will arrive in breezy, unfussy attire. Also keep in mind that space on board can be pretty limited and you probably don\u2019t want to spend your holiday tripping over your belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
