Packing For the Island
The key word here is EFFICIENT! Each passenger is allowed to bring 3 luggage items on the ferry; this includes coolers, storage bins, suitcases, duffel bags, backpacks, or any vessel that can keep all of your stuff contained. There is a 50-lb weight limit per item, so plan accordingly. You will need to purchase an Oversized Baggage ticket for items that are deemed larger than normal.
If you need to purchase new luggage or bins to bring with you, we highly recommend the following or similar:
Duffel Bags
Cooler Backpack
Cooler Chest
Plastic Storage Bins
Clothing, Food, & Other Considerations
(Much more information coming soon!)
The first time we went to BHI, we packed WAY too much — especially clothing. The reality is, you need very little for a week’s vacation on the island! Plan on bringing appropriate clothing for golf, tennis, and dining at the clubs; otherwise, all you need are bathing suits and clothes to lounge around in!
Maritime Market (with catering) and several dining establishments exist on the island, but the selection is limited and the prices are high! We typically bring most of our food with us and supplement when needed.
