A boat trip — especially in the stunning waters around Skiathos — is a unique experience. But to enjoy it to the fullest, it’s important to be well-prepared. Here are the most useful tips on what to pack:
Essentials:
- Sunscreen (high SPF, waterproof) – the sun feels much stronger out at sea.
- Hat & sunglasses – for shade and glare protection.
- Swimsuit & beach towel – ideally two towels (one for lounging, one for drying).
- Light clothing – T-shirts, pareos, or beach cover-ups for sun protection.
- Flip-flops or water shoes – especially handy if stopping at rocky beaches.
Food & Water:
- Water in a thermos – to keep it cool throughout the day.
- Snacks – like fruits, nuts, or granola bars for light, energy-boosting bites.
Extra Useful Items:
- Dry bag – to protect phones, wallets, keys, etc. from water.
- Power bank – especially if you’ll be snapping lots of photos.
- Mask & snorkel – for underwater exploring.
- Music/Bluetooth speaker – if allowed by the crew.
Tips:
- Prone to seasickness? Bring motion sickness tablets or pressure wristbands.
- Respect the environment – don’t leave trash behind and avoid sunscreens that harm marine life.
A well-prepared boat trip can be the highlight of your vacation — especially in Skiathos, with its dreamy beaches and charming little islets waiting to be explored. 🌊⛵
