Casual

The sort of gear you would wear for a good walk will be fine.

Even in summer the sea can keep the air cool as we head off shore. Layers are good as Provident is warm below deck but can be chilly on deck.

A woolly hat is a good idea as it can be cold in the wind. If you have sailing or other gloves that you can use while working the ropes or to keep your hands warm at the helm then bring them. We have some spare sailing gloves on board so no need to buy them specially.

Something non slip. Walking boots are ideal but you might want to make sure you waterproof them before you come. Wellies are sometimes handy too.

In summer time the sun bounces off the water so you can get a double hit.

Bring your regular medicines you need plus paracetamol and sea sickness tablets. We can give advice on this. (See terms and conditions)

Bring your stuff in a soft bag or holdall. Rigid suitcases take up too much room.

Bring your phones etc. All the cabins have USB charging points. It may be a good idea to bring a decent cover for your phone. We do our best to go places where there isn’t any phone signal but we can’t guarantee this. By all means bring other tech (cameras etc.) but be aware that the environment on board isn’t entirely sympathetic to sensitive electronics. Think about how you will protect your gear from the elements. We can’t be responsible for any damage to your kit.

As Douglas Adams taught us, Every one should know where their towel is. (You might find towelling dressing gown useful too)
