Pre-Trip Planning Timeline
Traveler Information Form
About two months prior to departure, you'll receive an email from the Inspirato Only experience team with the Preference Sheet and Traveler Information Form. In this form, we'll ask you to provide details such as contact information for each traveler, flight and travel information, as well as selecting your preferences for food, beverages, and activities.
We'll take this information and begin planning your trip and building your personal itinerary. We'll be in touch with you after receiving the completed form should any follow-up or confirmation be necessary.
Pre-Trip Phone Call
About one month prior to your departure, the Inspirato Only experiences team will arrange a phone call between you and your catamaran crew. During this call, the crew will introduce themselves and go through the preference sheet that you previously filled out. They will clarify any questions they may have and you are more than welcome to ask any questions yourself.
Bon Voyage! Itinerary and Final Trip Details
About three days prior to departure, you'll receive an email from the Inspirato Only experiences team with your personal itinerary, suggested packing list, and contact information for your catamaran crew.

Packing List
Embrace island life and leave your formal attire at home. This is your catamaran, so you decide the dress code. We recommend packing plenty of bathing suits, shorts, and t-shirts to be worn throughout the day. Evenings can be as casual or dressy as you and your group would like.
For any evenings on shore, we recommend resort casual. For men, this means a nice pair of shorts and a shirt with a collar. For women, a nice pair of shorts/skirt and a blouse, or even a festive sundress, is appropriate.
