Travel Preparation

Here you will find lots of useful information to prepare your sailing trip.

 

Packing List

Here are some great ideas for packing your travel bag perfectly for your sailing vacation.

  • Travel bag instead of a suitcase, as there is not that much storage space in the cabins.
  • Sleeping bag or your own quilt, can also be rented. On board there is a pillow with cover and a mattress equipped with sheet.
  • Comfortable and convenient clothing, in which you can also move around easily.
  • Warm clothes and “nice weather” clothes.
  • Rainwear (rain pants and jacket), can also be used as a windstopper. Very important: Many guest/pupils forget this, get wet on board and are then cold! Also please always pack in summer!
  • Scarf, gloves and hats are also (almost always) recommended.
  • Comfortable and sturdy footwear, such as gym or hiking shoes
    Perhaps rubber boots or swimming shoes for a mudflat hike.
  • Towels or beach towels.
  • Tea towels, towels, kitchen towels, (ecological) dishwashing and cleaning products, garbage bags and toilet paper.
  • Clothing and toiletries
  • Sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, swimwear
  • Possible medication
  • Games, music, instruments, binoculars, photo camera, flashlight
  • Pocket money, identity card, insurance card, cell phone

Have an extra backpack packed for the bus ride:

  • Drinks (especially water) and food, fruits and sweets
  • Pocket money, identity card, insurance card, cell phone

For the teachers on the bus:

  • Bring extra water if necessary (if it is very hot)
  • First aid kit
  • “permission lists” and phone numbers of parents, (collect pocket money, insurance cards and identity cards if needed, depending on age of students)
