A packing list for an Indian yacht charter
Sun protection, footwear, motion sickness and the small things people forget.

Here's what matters on the Indian coast, without the generic travel advice.
Bring
Nobody packs enough sun protection. Water reflection roughly doubles your exposure, even when it's cloudy.
- Sunscreen, reapplied often
- A hat, and sunglasses with a strap
- A light layer for after sunset
- A change of clothes for water sports
- Motion sickness tablets, an hour before boarding if needed
Leave at home
Heels and hard soles, which damage decks, and anything you'd hate to lose overboard.
With children
Bring your own child's sun hat and rash guard, and plan for one adult per child near the water.
A useful habit
Put your phone in a dry bag or zip-lock before boarding, as splashes happen even on calm days.
