What to Pack
Packing for a week aboard is easier than you might think.
Storage on a catamaran is designed for soft luggage, so we recommend bringing a soft-sided duffel bag or travel backpack. If you prefer to travel with a rolling suitcase, that’s perfectly fine for your flights—just be sure it’s an appropriate size for your cabin.
Clothing
Croatia’s sailing season is wonderfully relaxed, so casual, comfortable clothing is all you’ll need.
We recommend packing:
- Lightweight shorts, t-shirts, and casual summer clothing
- A light sweater or jacket for cooler evenings
- A rain jacket or lightweight windbreaker
- Several swimsuits
- Sleepwear
- Sun hat and sunglasses
- Reef-safe sunscreen
Footwear
No need to pack five pairs of shoes!
A comfortable pair of walking shoes for exploring historic cobblestone streets, water shoes with non-marking soles for swimming and getting ashore, and a pair of flip-flops or sandals are really all you’ll need.
Optional Items
You may also wish to bring:
- Snorkel gear, if you prefer using your own equipment
- A reusable water bottle
- A good book or e-reader
- A camera
- Clothespins
- Packable laundry sheets or preferably a no-rinse travel detergent
Good to Know
Croatia uses the Euro (€).
While credit cards are widely accepted in larger towns and cities, some of the smaller island konobas and businesses may not accept cards, or card machines may occasionally be unavailable. We recommend bringing some Euros in cash for dinners, cafés, markets, and smaller island communities.
We’ll take care of the sailing—you just need to pack for a wonderful week on the water.
