Day Charter Checklist

Things to Pack:

• Charter Agreement/Boat Papers
• ID/Passport
• Wallet/purse (remove unnecessary cards)
• Polarized sunglasses
• Suncream with a good SPF - plus extra for Face and Lips which need extra protection
• Sunhats/caps
• Medication if needed
• Camera (and waterproof bag/case)/underwater camera
• Cash or traveller's cheques
• Swimsuit, flip flops, deck shoes, a change of clothes

Tech Items to Consider Bringing

• iPhone or iPod. These products are durable and work great on a yacht and have hundreds of uses. You can even plot your course on a blog from your iPhone!
• Make sure you have a great playlist of sailing/yachting music on a Bluetooth enabled device 
• Download relevant apps - we have a page dedicated to the best iPhone and iPad apps for yachting and sailing

Don’t Forget to:

• Read up on the area you'll be visiting, or take a look at our itineraries to see what our top spots for your destinations are.
• Bring a picnic on board to enjoy the day charter! Pack all your favourite foods and drinks, or ask if this can be arranged on the charter - just ask one of our brokers what the options are!

Things NOT to pack:

• Non-essential valuables
• Anything that if lost would cause you great inconvenience or distress
• Less is more – remember that boats do not have large storage areas and that you will be plenty busy on the boat!

When Leaving the Yacht:

•  Please leave the yacht in a tidy manner
• Take all your personal belongings with you
• Don't forget to thank and tip your Captain and Crew

Arriving Back to Port:

• Post your best pictures on our Facebook page, and hashtag #boatbookings on your Instagram posts so our followers can see them - everyone likes "real" shots!
• Add a comment to our site in the comments section of your yacht, so others can see what you're saying about the experience!
• Send comments and suggestions to your Boatbookings Broker - we love to hear your feedback!
• Report any problems that you encountered to your Boatbookings Broker
