In all of our trips, NOT ONCE have we had a guest tell us they under packed! And we've had folks do 5+ charters with us!
Shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits, coverups/sundresses and flip-flops are all you really need. Quantity is your call. If you plan to include some light hiking in your itinerary, you may also want to bring a pair of tennis shoes that you don't mind getting wet!
You should also plan for a hat and sunglasses. Don't forget to bring a strap of some sort to keep these items from becoming a gift to Neptune because they have fallen in the sea.
Depending on the time of year, a long sleeved shirt and 'house pants' may be worth having in case of cool evenings.
We ask that you do not wear shoes on the boat as debris gathered on soles (even boat shoes) harms the fiberglass decks.
Each cabin is furnished with a set of sheets, a light blanket, two full size bath towels, two small size bath towels, two hand towels, two washclothes and two beach towels. Additional linens and towels will also be made available to any guests wishing to occupy the galley.
You will need to bring your favorite toiletries, including soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Toilet paper will also be provided. And PLEASE keep in mind, that 'flushable' wipes ARE NOT flushable on the boat! Learned it the hard way a time or two and having to wait around for us take apart the commodes during your trip will definitely impact your plans for the day.
Please NO spray sunscreen.
The aerosol spray on the fiberglass deck makes for a very slippery surface that quickly becomes dangerous, so just plan on lotions or creams, please.
Also, as of March 30th of 2020, the USVI has banned the use, possession and/or sale of any sunscreen containing oxybenzone, octocrylene or octinoxate. A $1000 fine is applicable for any violations found. You'll want to ensure that sunscreen you bring does not contain any of these three chemicals. A quick Google search for reef-safe sunscreens will return a plethora of options for you. We use Neutrogena Pure and Free baby sunscreen for our pirate dog, Buddy.
There are just a few things that we ask you to leave at home, but the requests are to facilitate your comfort and safety.
No hairdryers on board. The current the dryers pull will trip all the power off on the boat. We have beautiful warm breezes available for all your hair drying needs and are sure that you will all enjoy your time so much that you'll be subscribing to the 'Boat Hair, Don't Care' philosophy in no time at all!
No aerosol spray sunscreen/bug repellent. The aerosol spray cannot be contained and becomes a real slip hazard as soon as it lands on the fiberglass deck of the boat. While we wash the decks daily, that oily residue takes multiple washings to truly come up off the decks.
