Cabo San Lucas is one of the world’s premier destinations for yachting. The stunning Sea of Cortez is surrounded by mesmerizing landscapes that are known for their jaw-dropping beauty. If you’ve decided to plan your trip in the late fall and early winter season, you’d be pleased to know that this season is the perfect time to spot the majestic humpback whales in all their glory.
Once you’ve set a date for your yacht adventure, and planned the itinerary, the next step is packing. To avoid the horror of packing too much or too little, we’ll help you decide what to pack when yachting during the fall/winter season.
High-quality sunscreen
Don’t think just because you’re going in the latter part of the year, you won’t encounter the sun. Cabo has beautiful sunshine all year round, even though the intensity of sunrays decreases from October to December. They still have enough intensity to damage your skin, which is why it’s essential to invest in sunscreen with a suitable SPF. As most water activities on a yacht are carried out in the daytime, sunscreens allow you to spend as much time in the sun as you want without risking a sunburn.
Camera
Although most cellphones are equipped with great cameras, if you really want to take your Instagram feed to the next level, be sure to pack a camera with a long-range lens. Yachting in Cabo is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so you’d ideally want to leave the city with an album full of wonderful memories.
Having a camera increases your chances of doing just that as you’ll be able to capture stunning shots of your yachting adventure. A camera with a long-range lens and fast shutter speed can be particularly helpful when you’re taking photos of whales and other marine life. Remember to pack an extra battery and check memory card space!
Clothes for yachting
The fall and winter seasons are undoubtedly a great time for yachting. However, your trip could easily be ruined if you don’t pack the right clothes. This means that you need to ditch the high heels no matter how much you love them. Pack warm, comfortable clothes that will enable you to enjoy the weather instead of letting it affect your trip.
Naturally, as you’re merely a jump away from the water, it’s vital that you pack a few pairs of swimwear. Since the weather can get pretty chilly, consider investing in a wetsuit, instead of packing bikinis and shorts. These wetsuits will keep you warm even when you’re wet, so you don’t have to change every time you’re soaked after going into the water.
Extras
Whenever you’re going on a sea vacation, it’s important to pack certain essentials such as toiletries and medicines. We also recommend packing blankets. Keeping in mind the weather, we suggest packing ski goggles along with your sunglasses. Ski goggles will keep your eyes from watering due to the cold air.
