What to Pack for a Bali Yacht Day

Most of what goes wrong on a yacht day is avoidable with a short, sensible packing list — here's what actually matters and what you can leave at the hotel.

Sun protection

  • Reef-safe sunscreen — most reef areas around Nusa Penida ask for it, and regular sunscreen contaminates the water you're there to enjoy
  • A hat that won't blow off — secured with a strap if you have one
  • Sunglasses with a strap, ideally polarized for the glare off the water
  • A light long-sleeve layer or rash guard — more effective than reapplying sunscreen every hour

For the water

  • Swimwear, obviously, plus a change of dry clothes for the ride back
  • A dry bag for your phone and anything else you don't want wet
  • Your own mask if you prefer a specific fit — most charters supply gear, but some people like their own

Comfort for the day

  • Seasickness tablets if you're at all prone to motion sickness, taken before departure not after symptoms start
  • A light jacket if you're staying out toward sunset — it cools down fast once the sun's down
  • Cash — for lunch on the island if your trip includes a stop there, and for tipping the crew

What you don't need

Heavy camera gear you're worried about getting wet (ask if a photographer add-on is available instead), a full change of outfits, or anything you'd be upset to lose overboard. Travel light — the crew has snorkel gear, towels, and drinks covered.
