JOIN HERE But you will want clothes and outerwear that will keep you dry, warm and comfortable. If you don’t see a sailing regatta or months-long coastal sailing in your future, you likely don’t need to invest top-notch sailing gear from Zhik, Helly Hansen or Ronstan. However, if you have chartered a sailboat to sail yourself, look for a grocery store close to the harbor where you can buy fresh food and plenty of water. If the boat comes with a crew, food and water should also be included. But check with the company when you book. Some will even have neoprene wetsuits and drysuits. The sailboat should be equipped with basic supplies such as life jackets, snorkeling masks and fins, towels, and kitchen appliances/utensils. Most every place we stopped accepted credit cards, but we also brought $600 in cash and the BVI takes US dollars. Photo credit: Sherry Wernicke How Much Money Do I Need? Pack light! There isn’t much room for stowing bags on a sailboat. I always made sure mine were charged first and ready to go. SheBuysTravel Tip: Portable chargers are the key to staying charged up onboard. That’s why you’ll want to pack some old fashioned board games and a deck of cards. There is limited ability to charge electronics, so kids can’t go “overboard” playing games.

We had several wifi purchase options on board and went for the full package at $40 per day. You will have access to washers and dryers at many ports, but why spend precious vacation time doing laundry? We rinsed out clothes as need and hung them to dry on the safety lines along the side of the boat. You probably won’t be washing any clothes, so take enough to last the trip. How much you take will depend on the length of your sailing adventure. You need flexibility in storage on the boat hard cases and wheels are more difficult to store. Leave the wheeled suitcases home on this trip. Photo credit Sherry Wernickeįor a seven-day sail, we each packed one duffel bag for our sailing apparel and personal items one for our Pack for a Purpose items and everything else. Pack shorts, sunglasses head guards, mesh bags, and hats. Pack for layering - taking off layers as the sun grows warm and adding them as the evening chill sets in. Seriously, this is one time to not overpack. Even at the nicer restaurants in port, people wore shorts.
The best advice we got was to NOT bring anything we would worry about losing or getting wet or damaged and to pack casual clothes only. That was due to the decades of sailing experience of our friends and knowing what to pack, from waterproof outerwear to moisture-wicking base layers, food to games. While fate seemed to work in our favor, so did coming on board well-prepared for any situation. The water had the most amazing shades of blue I’ve ever see. The weather was warm, but never hot or humid. It was one of those rare perfect vacations when you never need to implement plan B. We spent a glorious week sailing with friends in the British Virgin Islands. They created this carefully curated sailing packing list.ĭisclosure: Brands mentioned provided some consideration. Friends of ours have been sailing alone and with kids for more 30 years. The boat is likely to life jackets, but will there be foul weather gear that fits you and the kids? If you’re headed out on an offshore sailing, you could be out to sea for days with no shopping mall in sight. If you are fortunate enough to vacation on a sailboat with your family and friends, you will need sailing gear. Men's, Women's and Children's Sailing Clothing.
