Packing for a yacht charter in Indonesia is simpler than most guests expect. The tropical climate, casual dress code, and well-equipped yachts mean you can travel light.
Must-Bring Items
- Reef-safe sunscreen — essential for marine park regulations
- Lightweight, quick-dry clothing — casual is the norm
- Sturdy walking shoes — for island treks (Padar, Komodo)
- Underwater camera — you'll want to capture the marine life
- Personal medications — remote areas have no pharmacies
- Dive certification card — if you plan to dive
What's Provided Onboard
Most luxury yachts provide towels (beach and bath), snorkeling equipment, basic toiletries, and laundry service. Dive equipment is typically available on diving-equipped vessels.
What to Leave at Home
High heels, formal wear, and excessive luggage are unnecessary. Soft bags are preferred over hard suitcases for storage in yacht cabins. For a complete logistics guide, see our paperwork guide.
