Pack It
In general, everyone overpacks (even me)! You will use much less than you think. Please pack in a soft duffle bag versus a rigid carry on suitcase. Soft duffle bags store better on a boat!

Don’t Even Think About It
High heels or other impractical shoes
Shoes that leave marks
Lots of dressy clothes (We keep one blouse or button down on the boat)
Flowy clothes - they are likely to get caught in things!
Jewelry – especially dangly things. They will just get caught on something
Hair dryer or hair straightener. Okay, you COULD bring this. But, it will only work if we are on shore power
Perfume, cologne, or other smelly products (it’s a small confined space)
