Do you need a power adapter for a European yacht charter?

Yes — European yacht charters use the EU Type C/F outlet, with 220-230V at 50Hz, so US guests need a Type C adapter and any device must accept the higher voltage. Most modern electronics (phones, laptops, cameras, tablets) handle 100-240V automatically — only the plug shape needs an adapter. Hair dryers, curling irons, and small appliances built for US 110V will burn out or trip a breaker; bring a dual-voltage model or borrow from the yacht. The yacht usually has a Type C/F outlet in every cabin and several in the salon. A universal adapter pack (under $20 on Amazon) covers the trip. UK-flagged yachts run Type G plugs even outside the UK — a slightly different shape. The broker confirms the yacht’s electrical loadout.
