The excitement of sailing to Culebra or Vieques begins the moment you pack your bag. To ensure your only concern is enjoying the sun and calm sea, we’ve prepared this practical guide. We want you to feel right at home, so here are the essentials for your private getaway.
- Reef-Safe Sun Protection
The Caribbean sun is wonderful, but intense. For us, taking care of you is just as important as taking care of our crystal-clear waters.
Reef-Safe Sunscreen: We ask that you use biodegradable sunscreens that won’t harm the coral reefs. This way, we can protect the home of the turtles we’ll be visiting.
Sunglasses and a Hat: Choose those with a secure fit so the sea breeze doesn’t blow them away while sailing.
- Comfortable Clothes and a Change of Clothes
Although our boat is modern and comfortable, you’ll be in constant contact with the water and the breeze.
Lightweight Towels: Microfiber towels are ideal because they take up little space and dry quickly.
Change of clothes: A set of dry clothes for the end of the day will make the return to shore much more enjoyable.
Boat shoes: Or non-slip sandals to move safely on deck.
- Capture the memories: Cameras and accessories
You’ll discover magical spots you’ll want to remember forever.
Waterproof phone case: Essential if you want to take photos from the water or while snorkeling.
Action camera: If you have a GoPro, this is the perfect time to show it off underwater in Culebrita or Vieques.
- Personal items and extra snacks
At Island Boating, we include non-alcoholic snacks to keep you hydrated, but you’re always welcome to bring your own personal touch.
Your favorite music: Our boat is ready to play your playlists and set the perfect mood for your day.
Essential Medications: If you’re prone to seasickness, a preventative pill 30 minutes before boarding will ensure a smooth trip.
Enjoy the worry-free experience
Packing your bag shouldn’t be stressful, but rather the start of your adventure. At Island Boating, we take care of everything: the boat is ready, clean, and has the perfect atmosphere to welcome you and your family.
Now that you know what to bring on a boat trip, all that’s missing is the most important thing: your desire to have fun!
