The Definitive Catamaran Charter Packing List
Space is at a premium even on a large Lagoon catamaran. Here is exactly what you need, and what you must leave behind.
The Hard No List (Mistakes)
- Rigid Suitcases: There is nowhere to store them. They will live on your bed for 7 days. Bring soft duffel bags.
- High Heels/Hard Soles: They ruin the teak and gelcoat. Barefoot or non-marking boat shoes only.
- Spray Sunscreen: It makes the deck dangerously slippery and stains fiberglass. Bring cream.
The Essential List
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| 12V USB Plug | Many boats only run 220V/110V when plugged into shore power. |
| Dry Bag (10L) | For taking phones and wallets ashore in the dinghy. |
| Windbreaker | Even in the BVI, evenings on the water get cold. |
