Since the boats have plenty of storage space, you don’t need to worry. You should be prepared for the climatic conditions. In case of warm days don’t forget your sunscreen, water and sunglasses. However, if you have chosen a cold day, it is advisable to wear warm clothes and a hot bottle of water to warm you up from the inside.
