Dates confirmed. Flights and yacht, booked. Your epic vacation is only weeks away and you can’t sleep due to all the excitement. So what could go wrong? Well if you plan ahead, you shouldn’t be hitting any rocky waters! With some extra travel prep and our help, your luxurious vacation to the Bahamas should go off without a hitch. Here are some of our best tips and tricks to make sure your vacation is picture perfect:
- Travel Details — It may seem obvious, but confirm all travel plans, pick-up/drop-off times, and docking locations. It may even be a good idea to book shuttles or drivers ahead of time to avoid any last minute headaches when reaching your final destination! And most importantly, make sure your passports are valid through the length of your stay in the Bahamas!
- Stay Healthy — Do your best to stay healthy before your trip! Traveling takes a lot out of your body and it’s important to be well-rested and feeling your best! Extra vitamins and drinking lots of water will keep you feeling energized and less susceptible to illness.
- … But Be Prepared! — You can’t predict what’s going to happen on your trip, so plan for the worst. Pack a small first aid kit with cold/flu medicine, band aids, digestion medicines, and ibuprofen. No one wants to feel sick on their dream vacation, but it’s better to be ready than stuck feeling your worst and searching for relief.
- The Basics — Look into basics like currency, tipping customs, and weather beforehand. The Bahamian dollar is equivalent to the U.S. dollar and both are accepted on the islands! Plus, ATM’s are easy to find so no need to fret when you’re in need of cash.
- Book Your Fun Pre-Departure — Booking travel plans is stressful enough as it is, but it may be worth the extra effort to plan ahead for your extra fun in the sun. Mast Charters offers sample itineraries to help you plan out the perfect vacation! We suggest buying tickets for National Park entries or excursions on the mainland before you take off. Not only will that keep things running smoothly each day, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your trip is already set up for success.
- But Don’t Plan Everything — Sticking to a packed itinerary that is set in stone can be exhausting for your entire group. Make sure to leave some time for pure relaxation or impromptu fun with the people you love! There will be an endless amount of activities at your disposal in Abacos, Exumas, and the British Virgin Islands, so you’ll want to leave some empty space on your itinerary.
At Mast Charters, our goal is for your group to have an unforgettable experience at sea. Our team is dedicated to serving you, whether you’re on or off the boat. Looking into all the details of your trip ahead of time will allow you to take off with confidence knowing that your dream getaway is set just how you want it. Now that’s smooth sailing.
