The Ultimate Yacht Charter Packing List
Embarking on a yacht charter is the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. With the turquoise waters of K'gari (Fraser Island) as your backdrop, your experience is sure to be unforgettable. To ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable trip, we've put together the ultimate packing list to guide you through what to bring (and leave behind).
Packing Essentials for Your Charter
Soft-shell luggage: Save space on board by opting for soft-sided bags that are easy to store.
Beach towels: We supply all bedding and bath towels, but you’ll want your own beach towels for ocean swims.
Eco-friendly toiletries: Choose biodegradable options to protect the marine environment.
Sunscreen: Reef-safe sunscreen is a must to shield you from the sun while keeping the waters pristine.
A good hat: Wide-brimmed or baseball caps are great for sun protection.
Sunglasses: Polarized ones are ideal for reducing glare on the water.
Jumper/jacket: Nights can be cooler, even in summer, so pack something warm.
Swimmers and rash vests: Perfect for snorkeling, swimming, or simply lounging on deck.
Camera gear: Capture those breathtaking sunsets and your adventures exploring the coastline.
Extra drinking water: While there’s 400 liters of water on board, it’s best to bring additional drinking water depending on the number of guests and trip duration.
Food and Drink Tips
- Do a group food shop: Coordinate with your group to avoid duplicates and maximize storage space.
