Yacht Rules & Etiquette

• There will be limited storage on a yacht, so pack light and use soft luggage. Always bring a spare set of everything. There’s more than a chance you’ll get wet. 
• Never wear black, leather-soled or hard shoes; always wear plimsolls, trainers or, ideally deck shoes.
• Ask for permission to board before stepping from the shore. 
• Noise travels on water, keep your opinions about your neighbour’s attire to yourself. 
• Port and starboard, never left and right.
• Fore and aft, never front or behind.
• Actually owning a yacht carries more kudos than dressing in such a way as to make everyone think you do.
• Never throw anything overboard.
• Never argue with the captain.
• Champagne tastes better on the high seas.
