Planning Your Trip

We hope that you will find the following information helpful when planning your trip with us. Your biggest challenge will be not to pack too much. Pack in a carry-on, soft-sided luggage that can preferably be folded up to be stored. We live in swim trunks and t-shirts (barefoot).

Clothing: Temperatures in the islands usually range from between 90°F (28°C) during the day to 70°F (22°C) at night on a cool evening. Your clothing requirements will, therefore be few - no formal dress will be needed - several swimsuits, shorts, and T - shirts are the order of the day and you might like to pack a light sweater for the evenings. We carry light waterproof jackets for everyone.

Sun Protection: The sun is at its strongest here between 10 am and 2:30 pm. Glare from the sails and the sea can be harsh on fair skins, therefore we recommend that you wear a hat or visor, sunglasses and a suitable range of sun screen lotions (No Oils or Gels please - as they stain the decks and cushions.) Because transporting liquids in carry-on luggage is so limited, we provide sun screen lotion to our guests.

First Aid: We carry First Aid equipment to cover minor problems but suggest you bring along any specific requirements you feel you may need.

Shoes: you will need shoes for exploring and for casual wear ashore. In preservation of our varnished teak floors and deck, shoes are not normally worn on the boat.

Electrical Appliances: We are able to supply 110 volts for light electrical items - eg. Video Battery Charger, Razors etc. You may wish to bring your favourite CD music. A hairdryer is available.

Communications: Your family, friends or business associates may need to contact you during your charter. SERENITY is equipped with both a cellular and satellite telephone and arrangements for use may be made while on board. The best means of communication is by email.

Passport: Ensure that it is valid for the duration of the cruise.
