Personal Gear Checklist

Woman looking at sails.

Heading out on the water means being prepared, and the right personal gear can make all the difference in comfort, safety, and enjoyment. Whether you’re just starting out, planning your first overnight trip, or gearing up for a longer passage, having a tailored checklist ensures nothing essential gets left behind.

Our Personal Gear Checklists for Boaters are designed to help you pack with confidence. From the basics for new sailors to the added layers and safety gear needed for overnight or long-distance sailing, these guides are practical, easy to follow, and based on real-life boating experience. Use them to stay organized and ready for whatever the wind and water bring your way.
