Essentials for sun and heat

The Mediterranean sun is generous, but its reflection on the water is intense. Good protection is vital to avoid sunburn and dehydration.

High SPF sunscreen

This is the most important item in your bag. Apply it generously and reapply regularly, especially after swimming.

Hat, cap, or bucket hat

Protecting your head and face is essential. Choose a hat that won't fly off at the first gust of wind.

Sunglasses

To protect your eyes from glare and fully appreciate the beauty of the landscape.

Spare T-shirt or light top

A light-colored, lightweight garment can be very useful for protecting you from the sun during the day and keeping you comfortable.

Swimsuit

It goes without saying, but it's always good to remember. Make sure you have it with you from the start so you don't waste a minute once the boat is anchored.

Beach towel or bath towel

To dry off after swimming and get comfortable on deck.

Comfortable, easy-to-remove shoes

Sandals, flip-flops, or water shoes are ideal for walking on rocks or in the water. Make sure they are easy to take off on board.

For your comfort on board and your memories

Even in summer, sea conditions can change. A few extra items will make all the difference to your comfort and your memories.

Reusable water bottle

To stay hydrated throughout the day, while respecting the environment.

Light jacket or windbreaker

This is the tip that is most often forgotten. Even in good weather, the sea breeze can be cool, especially at the end of the day. A sweater or a small windbreaker will allow you to stay comfortable on deck.

Small waterproof bag

A valuable ally to protect your phone, camera, and ID from sea spray or splashes.

Camera or smartphone

The landscapes of the Calanques are spectacular. Don't forget to capture them!
