Packing for a boat trip in Menorca? A towel, swimwear, sun protection and comfortable clothes cover the essentials. Before you set off, decide whether to bring your own food, arrange catering or ask about a restaurant stop.
Quick checklist before boarding
- Swimwear and a towel. Bring your own towel to dry off after swimming.
- Sunscreen and a hat. Keep sunscreen handy and reapply it as directed on the label, especially after swimming.
- Comfortable clothes and shoes. Choose shoes with good grip. A light layer can come in handy on an early start or a breezy sunset return.
- Water and any other drinks you want to bring. If you bring drinks, remember to bring ice for the cooler.
- All set to enjoy the sea. Once your bag is packed, all that’s left is to step aboard.
Lunch on board, catering or a restaurant?
Bring your own food. For a picnic on board, choose something easy to serve and share. Pack anything that needs to stay cold in an insulated bag.
Arrange catering. Ask about options before your trip and let us know your group size and any allergies or dietary needs.
Eat at a restaurant. Check with us before booking a table so we can see whether a stop fits the length of your trip, the route and sea conditions.
What if I get seasick?
If you tend to get seasick, let the skipper know before departure. If you are considering travel sickness medicine, ask a pharmacist what is suitable and follow the leaflet for that product. For Biodramina 50 mg tablets sold in Spain, the official Spanish patient leaflet recommends taking the first dose at least 30 minutes before travel when used to prevent motion sickness. The medicine can cause drowsiness, and the leaflet advises against drinking alcohol while taking it.
