What to bring:

• Passport

• Cash, credit cards and an ATM card – by comparison to the US, few vendors accept cards. Both the British and US Virgin Islands use the US Dollar (smaller bills are best).

• Swimwear & cover-ups

• Hat

• Sunglasses

• Athletic shoes or trainers for active days ashore

• Casual, quick-drying clothes for jaunts ashore (shorts, t-shirts)

• One or two outfits for a nice dinner ashore (ladies: casual dress or shorts & blouse; men: collared shirts)

• Light sweater or long-sleeve shirt for breezy evenings

• Lightweight rain jacket (most often used as a windbreaker)

• Mineral sunscreen & after-sun creams

• Personal toiletries & medications

Electronics: 

S/V Allende has both 110V AC power (US standard) and 12V DC power. Outlets are American-style 3 prong.

• Splashproof containers for phones, etc.

• Camera

• Extra batteries or charger for your electronics

• Kindle, iPad, magazines or books

Helpful, but not necessary:

• Snorkeling gear. We have 6 sets on board, but you may prefer your own if you already have it

• Music! Bring a pre-loaded electronic device with headphone jack or USB cord so you have control of the soundtrack

What NOT to bring:

• Hard-sided suitcases

• More than what you need: storage space is at a premium onboard and in your cabin
