What Your BVI Sailing Course Includes:

What to Pack for Your Sailing Adventure 

Alright, let's talk about what to toss in your sea bag for an unforgettable week at BVI sailing school!

Sun Protection

Speaking of the sun, you'll want to stock up on sunblock, hats with clips, sunglasses with straps, and lip balm. The Caribbean sun is no joke, especially with the reflections off the water.

Clothing

Pack your clothes with the weather in mind. In the BVI, it's usually shorts, swimsuits, and t-shirts all day. But remember, it can get a bit cooler on the water and in the evenings.  You can also throw in a light sweater or jacket and some breezy cotton pants (trust us, they're way more comfortable than jeans on a boat).  You can also bring wide-brimmed hats and loose, long-sleeved shirts for extra sun protection.

Luggage

Aim for a soft, lightweight duffel bag or collapsible suitcase. These are way easier to store on a boat than a bulky hard shell.

Toiletries & Personal Items

Don't forget your shower kit, including biodegradable soap for guilt-free bathing. And of course, pack any personal medication you need.
