Prepared her personal Riviera Maya, 9 must-have sailing list just for you.  

1) On her must have list, is motion sickness remedies: If you’re prone to seasickness, don’t let it dampen your spirits. Pack motion sickness remedies such as ginger candies or over-the-counter medications. Our favorite are the motion sickness patches you can find on Amazon, to ensure a smooth and enjoyable voyage

2) Good Sunscreen that is reef-safe and can be used on the face and body. Not wearing a ton of makeup on a boat is key, to looking your best. Select a mineral-based tinted sunscreen.  Keep the reef safe and look fabulous. Also, it will last longer than regular makeup. 

3) Your playlist: This is your tour and adding the perfect soundtrack to your sail can make it amazing! Make sure to have your favorite playlist downloaded from your Spotify so you can connect your phone to the speakers aboard to elevate your experience.

4) As wehead towards the middle the must have have sailing list. Comfortable Clothing: Dress for both style and comfort as you embark on your sailing adventure. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool under the Mexican sun. Feel at ease as you navigate the open waters, knowing that you’re dressed for both practicality and fashion. Be careful with the current criss cross cut out fabric, remember to use sunscreen, being burnt in crisscross patterns hurts as well as looks hilarious. 

5) Swimsuit: Of course!  you’ll have countless opportunities to cool off and revel in the refreshing ocean waves. Just make sure the suit fits well, nothing worse than losing a piece of clothing jumping off the boat. 

6) Waterproof Bag: Keep your valuables safe and dry with a reliable waterproof bag. Whether it’s your phone, camera, or travel documents, this essential item will ensure they stay protected throughout your sailing adventure.

7. Towels: After a refreshing swim or a thrilling water activity, a soft and absorbent towel will be your best friend. 

8. Money: We always suggest carrying some money for your boat trip.  Crews cannot accept credit card tips most of the time.  Cash Machines can be expensive or not work. It is wise to also sort out tip prior to your charter. That way you can party and not try to figure it out at the end 

9. Last but not least Riviera Maya, 9 must-have sailing list. Have organized transportation. Whether you are drinking or by some chance get seasick or just too hot. Being on a boat can be exhausting. We highly suggest using a driver to make sure everyone gets home safe.
