Yachts Asia

You should bring what you normally would on any vacation, except that due to less space on yachts it is best to travel light. If possible pack your things in soft-sided bags, especially if chartering a small sailing boat.

Check with our bookings manager what items will be provided on the yacht. There is no need to bring bedding, sheets or towels since most bareboat companies provide it, while crewed yachts will almost certainly have all this onboard. Also, snorkelling gear is usually provided and sometimes even the fishing gear.

It is completely your choice as how formal you wish to be on board. However casual wearing is recommended, and since the weather is usually sunny you will spend most of the vacation in bathing suits, so bring even a few of them. You will spend most time on board barefoot, but it's good to pack some flip-flops and a rubber soled sandals or "reef runners" for venturing ashore.

Hat, sunglasses and sunscreens with at least 15SPF are very highly recommended, as well as soothing after sun products. Your toiletry bag should include all the usual items and perhaps insect repellent and seasickness pill just in case.

Bring your favourite reading materials and CD's, but don't forget to check if your yacht is equipped with a CD player. On crewed yachts you can normally be sure that you will have a CD and DVD player onboard, together with a collection of CD's and DVD's.
