Ocean Life Packing List | OceanLife Expeditions

The packing list is optional and does not claim to be exhaustive, but it does provide a helpful guide. Of course, clothing and equipment depend on the area in question.

You must ensure you have all the medication you need and carry a sufficient supply. It is also advisable to visit the dentist before the trip and, if necessary, to update your vaccinations (tetanus and hepatitis). You must always inform the skipper of any chronic medical conditions. The abbreviation SK in the table refers to skippers.

We wish you relaxing and eventful sailing trips
and always a hand’s breadth of water under the keel,
Your Ocean Life Team
