What clothes should I wear on a yacht charter?

Answer

Most yacht charters are relatively informal onboard, with lightweight clothing, swimwear and comfortable daywear being appropriate for much of the time.

Evening clothing depends on the destination and itinerary. Some guests may prefer smart-casual clothing for restaurants or evening events ashore, while others may spend most evenings onboard.

Weather and season should also guide what you bring.

Analysis

There is no universal yacht dress code. The appropriate clothing depends more on the yacht, destination and planned activities than on the fact that you are chartering a yacht.

Some yachts or destinations may have specific requirements for entering restaurants, clubs or other venues.

You generally don't need a suitcase full of formal clothes unless your itinerary calls for them. We can tell you what is appropriate for the particular yacht and destination you're visiting.
