The Ultimate Yacht Charter Packing List

The Ultimate Yacht Charter Packing List

When you’re setting sail through the British Virgin Islands, packing well means more comfort and fewer worries. Think light, breathable, and practical — but always elegant. Here’s everything you need for your BVI adventure.

Clothing & Footwear

  • 3–4 lightweight outfits (linen shirts, sundresses, shorts)
  • 2–3 swimsuits + coverups
  • Non-marking boat shoes & sandals
  • Light sweater for breezy nights

Toiletries & Health

  • Reef-safe sunscreen & aloe gel (most yachts will provide)
  • Bug spray & motion-sickness remedies
  • Travel-size shampoo & conditioner
  • Prescription medications

Tech & Gear

  • Waterproof phone case or dry bag
  • Portable charger & adapters
  • GoPro or waterproof camera
  • E-reader or tablet for downtime

Nice-to-Haves

  • Compact yoga mat
  • Lightweight backpack
  • Hammock or sarong

Packing Tips

  • Use soft duffel bags — hard suitcases take up precious space.
  • Roll, don’t fold — saves room and keeps clothes wrinkle-free.
  • Pack for flexibility — versatile outfits transition from beach to dinner.

Bring your own reef-safe sunscreen — protect the islands you’re visiting if you are spending time on the islands before your charter!

Conclusion

Packing smart sets the tone for your entire charter experience. With this list, you’ll have everything you need to feel confident, comfortable, and camera-ready from the moment you step aboard.
