Travel Light: What to Pack for a Sailing and Yoga Retreat 

• Light, Breathable Clothing: Think easy-breezy, quick-dry fabrics. You’re moving between yoga, lounging on deck, and hopping ashore—so pack versatile items.

  • Suggestions: A couple of lightweight t-shirts, loose pants or shorts for sailing, and some flowy yoga-friendly outfits.

• Swimwear: You’ll need at least two swimsuits because, let’s face it, you’ll be in the water a lot! Opt for fast-drying fabrics.

• Layer Up for Evenings: Sailing can still get chilly in the evenings, so bring a light jacket or shawl.

• Footwear: No need for heavy shoes. A pair of non-slip deck shoes or soft-soled sandals will work perfectly. Add lightweight sandals or flip-flops for beach time. 

Keep it simple - bring 2-3 yoga outfits that are comfortable, stretchy, and moisture-wicking. You won’t need a new outfit every day.

• Sun Protection: You’ll be under the sun all day. Pack a wide-brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen to stay eco-conscious.

• Waterproof Bag: A small waterproof bag is a game-changer for keeping your phone, camera, or essentials dry during sailing or beach stops.

• Windbreaker: Even in the summer, a lightweight windbreaker or waterproof jacket can protect you from sea spray and breezy evenings. 

• Eco-Friendly Toiletries: Opt for biodegradable products to keep the waters pristine. Solid shampoo bars, face wipes, and multi-purpose balms are lightweight, pack-friendly, and eco-conscious.

• Minimal Makeup and Skincare: You won’t need much. A good SPF moisturizer, cleansing wipes, and maybe a touch of lip balm will do. 

• Phone and Camera: Leave the bulky gear at home. Your phone or a small camera is more than enough to capture the stunning scenery.

• Power Bank: A compact power bank will keep your devices charged between islands, especially when outlets are limited. 

• Soft-Sided Luggage: A duffel bag or collapsible suitcase fits best in small cabin spaces. No hard suitcases—there’s no room for them on yachts!

• Pack for Functionality: Every item should have a purpose. If you’re hesitating about an item, leave it out. You’ll feel lighter and freer. 

• Excessive Clothes: You won’t need a different outfit for each day. Re-wearing clothes is fine and expected on a boat.

• Heavy Books or Tech: Disconnecting is part of the retreat’s beauty. One book or an e-reader is more than enough.
