Are you planning on embarking on a luxurious yacht charter this summer?
You may be wondering what type of clothing and attire is appropriate for such an extravagant excursion. Check out our guide on what to wear on a yacht charter. From breathable fabrics to stylish swimwear, we’ve got you covered.
Dress for the occasion
When packing for your yacht charter, it is important to keep in mind the type of occasion you will be attending. If it’s a formal event, you’ll want to pack cocktail dresses, suits, and dress shoes. For a more casual gathering, pack some comfortable clothing that is appropriate for the weather conditions.
While yacht charters can be a fun and exciting adventure, it’s important to remember that it is also a luxurious and sophisticated experience. Keep your attire classy and elegant, avoiding anything too revealing or flashy. Stick to classic, timeless pieces that will make you feel confident and sophisticated.
Stay comfortable and practical
While dressing for the occasion is important, you should also prioritize comfort and practicality. Yacht charters often involve a lot of walking, so it’s important to wear comfortable shoes that are easy to move around in. In addition, you should dress in layers to accommodate changes in temperature throughout the day.
Dress appropriately for water activities: yacht charters often involve water activities such as swimming and snorkeling.
Be sure to pack appropriate swimwear and cover-ups. You may also want to bring water shoes or sandals for walking on the beach or rocky shores.
Remi van der Deure, Charter Broker at Charterminute says: “For a yacht summer vacation in the Mediterranean, packing can be light. Swimwear and cover-ups are the main essentials, with just one additional outfit suitable for going ashore recommended. The warm weather and focus on relaxation in this destination mean you won’t need a lot of different clothes.“
Mind the weather
When packing for your yacht charter, be sure to check the weather forecast ahead of time. Depending on the location and season, you may need to pack additional items such as sunscreen, hats, and rain gear. It’s always better to be overprepared than caught off guard.
