What to Pack for Your Why Not Both 2025 Adventure
Packing for a sailing trip through the stunning Aegean and Mediterranean is part of the fun! As you prepare for your incredible journey across Turkey and Greece, it’s important to pack with both adventure and comfort in mind. Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensure you have everything you need for this unforgettable trip, plus a few tips for staying stylish and ready for those epic theme parties!
Essentials for Every Day
Swimwear (multiple options): You’ll spend plenty of time swimming in crystal-clear waters, lounging on deck, and soaking up the sun. Bring at least 2–3 swimsuits so you’re always ready to dive in!
Light, breathable clothing: The summer temperatures can be warm, so pack loose, lightweight outfits like sundresses, linen shirts, shorts, and airy tops for daytime comfort.
Comfortable shoes: Pack sandals for onboard lounging and sturdy walking shoes or sneakers for exploring charming island towns and hiking to hidden viewpoints.
Sun protection: A wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen are must-haves for long days in the sun. Don’t forget SPF lip balm to keep your lips hydrated!
A light jacket or sweater: Evenings on the water can get breezy, so pack a light layer for cooler nights or windy yacht rides.
Island Adventures Must-Haves
Waterproof bag or dry bag: Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables dry during excursions, boat transfers, or beach days.
Daypack or small backpack: Perfect for carrying water, snacks, sunscreen, and souvenirs while you explore islands like Kos, Leros, and Patmos.
Get Ready to Party!
Theme party outfits: The WNB team will announce the official theme parties closer to the trip, so leave some room in your suitcase for fun, creative costumes! Whether it’s a retro dance party or an elegant nautical theme, dressing up adds to the fun.
Casual eveningwear: When we dock for nightlife adventures, you’ll want outfits that are stylish yet comfortable for dancing the night away. Think summer chic—light dresses, flowy jumpsuits, or crisp button-ups with smart trousers.
Onboard Comfort & Convenience
Toiletries: While the yachts are well-equipped, bring your personal toiletries, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Don’t forget items like a razor and your favorite skincare products!
Refillable water bottle: Staying hydrated is key, especially when you’re out in the sun all day. Bring a reusable bottle to refill throughout the trip.
Small personal fan: If you’re prone to overheating, a portable fan can be a lifesaver for warm nights.
Tech & Accessories
Power bank: Keep your phone charged while capturing every magical moment.
Adapters/converters: If you’re traveling from outside Europe, ensure you have the right adapters for Turkish and Greek electrical outlets.
Camera or GoPro: Don’t miss out on documenting the gorgeous views, epic parties, and your favorite memories. A waterproof camera or GoPro is perfect for capturing underwater adventures!
Optional Add-Ons
Journal or travel diary: Record your experiences, from the sights and sounds of each destination to your favorite moments with new friends.
Books or e-reader: Whether you’re a beach reader or a deck lounger, bring a book or two for relaxing downtime.
Small gifts for crew or fellow guests: A little token of appreciation goes a long way in creating lasting friendships.
Pro Packing Tips
Pack light: Space is limited on yachts, so focus on versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched.
Roll, don’t fold: Rolling clothes saves space and minimizes wrinkles.
Leave space for souvenirs: You’ll want to bring back treasures from the markets of Kos or the charming shops of Leros, so pack with extra room to spare!
Check the weather: While summer is typically warm and sunny, always double-check the forecast before your trip to ensure you’re fully prepared.
A Note on Travel Documents
Passport: Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
Travel insurance: A smart precaution for peace of mind during your trip.
Flight and travel details: Print copies or have digital versions saved on your phone.
