Overall the climate is very good in all of our destinations and we recommend travelling light with beach/swimwear, shorts and t-shirts for the daytime and casual comfortable clothing for the evening. For early and late season we recommend you also take some warmer clothing. When eating ashore in the evening, dress code is generally informal. However, the more exclusive restaurants/resorts in the Caribbean and the Far East may take a smarter approach.
All linen and towels for your yacht are provided, however beach towels are not so please bring your own. As storage space on board can be limited, we recommend that you take soft foldable bags rather than suitcases.

Money matters
The amount of local currency you take with you varies depending on the cruising area you are visiting. Many of our bases and sailing destinations have banking facilities for changing travellers cheques, ATM machines and a wide acceptance of credit cards, however for some of our more remote areas you will mainly be reliant on cash. Once you have booked your holiday we will send you further information specific to your chosen cruising area.

Early/Late season holidays
Please appreciate that if you choose to holiday 'out of season', some shops and local facilities, including restaurants, may be closed as they only operate during high season. This may mean more cooking on board so please provision accordingly.
Scuba diving
Scuba diving is available in many of our cruising destinations and can be an amazing experience, however some caution should be taken. If you have any health issues, which may come under question before diving, it is advisable to bring a medical certificate from your GP stating that you are fit to dive. You must also check your insurance cover includes this activity.
