What do you pack for a yacht charter?

Pack light, in soft-sided luggage, with swim and sun gear at the top. The standard charter packing list: three to four swimsuits, two pairs of shorts, three shirts (one long-sleeve UPF for sun protection), one set of athleisure for travel days, one dressier outfit for a dock-side dinner, deck-safe sandals, a hat, and reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+, no oxybenzone). Hard-sided suitcases get rejected — cabin storage on a yacht is shaped for duffels and soft bags. Skip the heavy toiletries; most yachts stock shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Pack any prescriptions in carry-on. Crews launder daily, so three days of clothes covers a week. The first-time charterer’s guide has a full packing list.
