Items To Bring on Your Boat Trip

There are a number of items you should bring on a boat trip. The individual boat owner might have some extra requirements like a boater education card (if you're renting without a captain and want to operate the vessel yourself) so you'll want to ask them when making the booking.

But common items worth bringing include:

• Plenty of sunscreen
• A hat to cover your head
• Sunglasses to protect your eyes
• Swimming gear
• Towels
• Identification
• Water safety gear e.g. arm bands if you can't swim
• Waterproof smartphone cases

You should be good to go with those items. Again, ask the boat owner directly if there is anything else you should bring.
