PACK LIGHT Source: Vladimir Vladimirov / Getty This is not the time to bring four suitcases and honestly, you are on a yacht. Who needs that? It’s all about your swimsuits, coverups, and outfits for the evening. Horton explained, “You don’t have as much space as you have when you’re at home, so pack light and get ready to bond with your boatmates!” DON’T BE THE GIRL THAT PUKES Source: Terry Vine / Getty Horton shares, “It can take some time to get used to being on the water; have some Dramamine ($3.99, target.com ) ready just in case you need it.” You can also be well rested before your trip and if you feel nauseous, get some fresh air! You can also wear an acupressure wristband ($6.10, amazon.com ) if you don’t want to take pills due to pregnancy or any other reason. YOUR TOILET IS FOR TWO THINGS Source: Mint Images / Getty Horton instructs, “Don’t put foreign objects down your toilet. A clogged toilet on a boat isn’t a good look.” Enough said. But in case: yes, ladies, this includes your tampons. LET THE BOAT BREATHE Source: milan2099 / Getty Air circulation is important on the high seas! Horton says, “Be sure to use your cabin and bathroom hatches for proper ventilation.” No one wants to smell your dinner and it’s nice to let some of the sea air in the cabin. DECORATE Source: Courtesy of East Africa Yacht Week / EastAfricaYachtWeek.com Horton encourages to “make the yacht your home!” After all, whether you are there for a few days, a week, or even longer, it’s your boat, Beyoncé! “Decorate. Fly your flag. Find your happy place on the yacht: there’s your cabin, the galley area, the trampoline in front of the yacht, and chill spaces in the the back of the yacht.” No matter where you choose, you’ll be sure to be able to relax, recharge, and most importantly, have fun!
