What to Bring on a Daytime Private Boat Charter

Hilton Head Yacht Charter has a ton of exciting watersports and activities for an action-packed day on the water.

Of course, that means you’ll want to bring a swimsuit, but you’ll also want a coverup to throw on before you eat your gourmet lunch, prepared by our onboard executive chef.

We recommend bringing a change of dry, comfortable clothes. You’ll have full access to our VIP staterooms and en suites to freshen up, change, and rest as needed.

What Amenities does a Yacht Have?

Your private boat rental comes fully stocked with premium alcohol (wine, champagne, beer, liquors, mixers) soda, water, and snacks.

Be sure to let our concierge know your favorites so we can ensure all your consumables are ready and waiting for you.

For one thing, you don’t need to bring any water toys because Top Shelf has everything! We also stock sunscreen and towels so leave that behind and add another outfit to your luggage

Here are just some of the activities our guests enjoy aboard Top Shelf:

What to Bring on a Sunset Yacht Cruise

Without a doubt, your gourmet, sunset dinner cruise will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t soon forget. What do you actually need to bring?

First, it’s always a safe choice to pack layers; Hilton Head is famous for our warm island breeze. But, it’s always a few degrees cooler on the water than it is on land.

In yachting, it’s customary to go barefoot onboard. You will need a comfy pair of shoes to get from the dock to the yacht.

To be sure you have an excellent private boat charter, request your choice of special bottle of wine or brand of cigar from our concierge. Our crew will ensure we have stocked prior to your sunset cruise.

Of course, if you’re planning to spend time out on the town after your dinner cruise, feel free to bring a change of clothes. Our guests are welcome to utilize the staterooms as they wish.
