What to Bring

A valid passport. Expiration date must be no earlier than 6 months after your planned return. A customs declaration form must be completed at the port of entry.

Packing for life aboard a sailboat is simple, light, and relaxed — think comfort, layers, and ease. Here’s what we recommend:

Clothing & Layers

  • Light, breathable outfits for warm days.

  • A cozy sweater or fleece for cool evenings

  • A hat for cooler nights if you get cold

  • Windbreaker or light rain jacket

  • Swimsuit(s) & cover-up

  • Comfortable footwear for hikes, shore walks or dinners

  • Something light and casual for going out to dinner ashore

Essentials

  • Reef-safe sunscreen

  • Sunglasses (with a strap if possible)

  • Sunhat or cap

  • Toiletries (eco-friendly if possible — we’re mindful of marine life)

  • Any medications you need

  • Reusable water bottle

Footwear Onboard

We go barefoot on the boat most of the time — it’s part of the relaxed rhythm of life at sea.
If you’d prefer to wear shoes onboard, please bring a clean pair reserved just for the boat (non-marking soles only).

Optional Comforts

  • Earplugs (boats can have gentle creaks and sea sounds)

  • Small dry bag for shore trips

  • Lightweight daypack or tote bag

  • Charging cables for your devices

Keep It Simple

Cabin space is limited, so we recommend a soft-sided bag or duffel instead of a hard suitcase. You’ll be barefoot much of the time and living close to nature — pack light and with ease.

And most importantly — don’t forget to bring your smile and a positive attitude!

This retreat is all about relaxing, having fun, and embracing new experiences together.
