What to bring on a private boat charter

One of the nicest things about a private charter is how little you need to bring. The boat is set up so the day is taken care of — but a few small things make it even better. Here's the honest list, plus what's already waiting on board.

What to bring

What's already on board

Quite a lot, actually. Every charter includes your skipper, fuel, snorkel gear, a Bluetooth sound system, and chilled cava, beers and soft drinks. The Beneteau Flyer 9 has shade fore and aft, sun pads, a freshwater shower to rinse off, a private electric toilet below deck, and a swim platform with a ladder for easy in-and-out.

Travelling with children

Families are very welcome. The flat, stable deck and the swim platform make it an easy day for all ages — just let us know the children's ages when you book so we can plan the pace and have the right gear aboard.

What to leave at home

No need for your own drinks, ice or snorkels — it's all here. And there's no need to over-pack: a small bag per group is plenty. The idea is to step aboard and switch off.

If you'd like food on board, we can add cold catering — from platters to fresh seafood — arranged to your group; just ask when you book.

Anything else you need?

Message us with any questions before the day — a real person replies, usually within the hour.
