Packing for a gulet charter is different from packing for a hotel holiday. Since cabins are smaller and life on board is all about sun, sea, and relaxation, traveling light is key. Essentials like swimwear, sun protection, and casual clothing will make your trip comfortable and stress-free. To help you prepare, we’ve created this practical guide on what to bring for a gulet cruise so you can enjoy smooth sailing and carefree days at sea.
Key Takeaways:
- Pack light – soft luggage is easier to store in smaller cabins.
- Bring casual, breathable clothes and one nicer outfit for dining ashore.
- Don’t forget essentials: swimsuits, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
- Personal toiletries, medications, and mosquito repellent are must-haves.
- Chargers and a good book will make downtime more enjoyable.
Cabins on board of gulets are not as large as hotel rooms so naturally, it is a good idea to pack light like we stated in beginning.
When speaking about clothes you should opt for more casual informal clothes, light-weight loose materials and natural fibres.
It’s important that you are comfortable during the whole cruise.
Of course, some nice “fancier” clothes for evening trip around the city or restaurant dinner are a good idea – but all this is completely optional.
However, there is no dress code on gulet and there is absolutely no need for tuxedos on a gulet cruise.
Also if you are travelling in April to mid-May to the end of October, sweater type clothing, long sleeve and perhaps a pair of long pants might be needed since the temperature is changing and evenings can become colder.
- Swimming suit! Not just one but two, so while one is drying you have another one available. This one is super important not to forget because you will be visiting many beautiful beaches and bays!
- Sun cream! Sun can become strong during summer days and since you’ll be spending lots of time on a beach under the sun it is important to use SPF
- Sunglasses and a ha
- A couple of casual shirts, pants or summer dress
- Your favourite book that you maybe haven’t managed to finish
- Personal toiletries, everything you need for personal hygiene and other personal care and beauty product
- Medication
- Chargers for all of your electronics.
- Mosquito repellent in spray or cream just in case so you can have relaxing nights.
- Music and/or DVD movies that you love and prefer. There is generally an iPod connection via USB available on gulets so you can watch movies and listen to your favourite songs during the cruise. But this you can check in advance with us.
- Flip-flops! This is ideal for wearing on board but also when going to the beach. The deck can get quite hot under the sun and it can be very uncomfortable for walking barefoot.
- A small backpack or purse for those days you are planning to head out on land excursions on trips to national parks etc.
- Shampoo that suits your hair needs. Sometimes the gulet charter will provide you with shampoo but it might not be ideal for your hair type if you want to keep your routine don’t forget to bring your own shampoo.
- Bring a camera and capture all memories! Maybe phone camera will be enough for some of you but you should consider bringing some kind of camera because there will be many gorgeous destinations, towns, islands, beaches, bays, landscapes that would be a shame not to capture.
NOTE:
If you maybe forget some of the mentioned items or you run out of some during the cruise, there will be time and place to buy that stuff again in towns along the way.
