"Preparation for the first yacht cruise: What to take with you"

You must take it with you

• Money
  ‍Even if you have paid part of the cost of the trip in advance, there may be additional expenses during the trip, such as berthing fees, excursions, or dinners in restaurants, money may always be needed for typical expenses such as tea or coffee in a local cafe, gifts or other expenses during stops.
• Passport and insurance policy
  ‍Whether you are traveling within your own country or abroad, a passport is a mandatory document for identity verification. And an insurance policy can be important in case of unforeseen medical expenses or accidents
• Bag for clothes
  ‍A soft bag is a must – the best choice for small yachts. It will easily fit in the closet without taking up too much space.
• Footwear
  ‍It is necessary to cover the toes!
  The yacht has a huge number of corners and the equipment for controlling the sails is located on the deck, which can easily lead to toe injuries when walking around the yacht in flip-flops or bare feet. It is also important to have shoes with non-brand flat, light-colored soles so as not to leave marks on the deck and avoid slipping.
  
  Special yacht shoes (not necessarily expensive) are the best choice for comfortable and safe movement on a yacht. But if you can't find such, katon sneakers will be an ideal replacement, and no one has canceled crocs. Be sure to leave high-heeled shoes at home.
• Clothes
  ‍It is important to have comfortable and light clothes. The wardrobe should include T-shirts with short and long sleeves, pants, shorts, swimsuits, swimming trunks, as well as warmer clothes - sweaters or fleece jackets. Headwear 1-2, sunglasses are a must! Without them, it will be very difficult to exist on a white yacht when bright light reflects off the water. Preferably with tied ropes so as not to get lost.
  
  Clothes that do not get wet: a jacket and pants for the evening (the air temperature always changes in the evening) and in case of a storm are definitely needed.
• First aid kit
  ‍Don't forget to pack a travel first aid kit with all the necessary medications, including seasickness remedies, ointments for burns and sprains, allergy remedies, sun protection creams
• Personal hygiene products
  ‍When traveling on a yacht, it is important to have with you the necessary personal hygiene products to ensure comfort and health: Soap and shower gel, Toothbrush and paste, toilet paper, Antiseptic for hands, hair and body products (shampoo, conditioner), cotton buds, wet wipes, etc.
• Additional little things
  ‍Waterproof case for phone and wallet Yacht gloves - if you plan to work on a yacht for a little while, it is better to buy gloves. Without them, the captain will not allow you to work with the battens (the ropes with which the sails are controlled).
