Before The Yacht Week I had never even been on a yacht, much less spent a week on one. If you’re also a first-timer, then you’re probably wondering exactly what you should pack. My best advice is to pack lightly and use a duffel bag or other soft-sided luggage. With limited space on board and an unceasing state of inebriation, the last thing you’ll want to worry about is a heavy, oversize bag. Here’s what you should bring:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Camera<\/strong> (don’t forget it – you’ll take tons of amazing photos)
\n\u2022 National flag<\/strong> (rep your country flag loud and proud)
\n\u2022 Waterproof Dry bags<\/strong> (to keep your camera, cell phone and\/or tablet safe and dry)
\n\u2022 (7) Swimsuits<\/strong> (this will be you main daily attire, so bring one for each day)
\n\u2022 (1) White sundress or pants set<\/strong> (for the White party)
\n\u2022 (3) Sundresses<\/strong> (think dressy casual – no gymshoes, short shorts, tank tops, or mini-skirts are allowed at Hvar, so these will come in handy)
\n\u2022 (3) T-shirts or tank tops<\/strong>
\n\u2022 (3) Shorts<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hat or visor<\/strong> (to protect your face and body – the sun can be brutal at mid-day)
\n\u2022 Beach towel<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Aqua shoes<\/strong> (for rocky beaches)
\n\u2022 Boat shoes or flip flops<\/strong> (choose one to wear on deck)
\n\u2022 Sandals<\/strong> (flat ones with rubber soles are best – leave the high heels at home)
\n\u2022 Team costume<\/strong> (the crazier, the better)
\n\u2022 Floats<\/strong> (to relax and have fun on the water)
\n\u2022 Props\/Gadgets<\/strong> (e.g. blow up dolls, water balloons, super soakers, and solar lights – not required, but helps to make your boat stand out)
\n\u2022 Ear plugs<\/strong> (for light sleepers – expect loud music and talking on most nights)
\n\u2022 Eye mask<\/strong> (again for light sleepers)
\n\u2022 Toiletries<\/strong> (travel size everything, except bring slightly larger shampoo and conditioner – beach hair is the name of the game)
\n\u2022 Make-up<\/strong> (lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara is sufficient – leave the rest at home)
\n\u2022 Sunscreen<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Lip balm<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Dramamine<\/strong> (for sea sickness – you probably won’t need it, but better to have it than not)
\n\u2022 Aloe Vera<\/strong> (in case you get sun burned)
\n\u2022 First Aid kit<\/strong> (for the inevitable scratches, cuts and bruises)
\n\u2022 Music CDs<\/strong>\u00a0 (since most of the boats don’t have Ipod or Iphone connections)
\n\u2022 Electric converter and adapter<\/strong> (needed to switch between U.S. 110 – 120v and Europe 220 – 240v, otherwise you may fry your electronics)
\n\u2022 Cell phone charger<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
