SOSOO Amenities — Resources
The amenity programme on a superyacht is a direct reflection of the vessel's positioning. Guests on high-value charters have significant exposure to premium skincare. They notice a lotion that sits on the skin rather than absorbs. They notice when a shampoo dries rather than conditions. These things get mentioned in the post-charter debrief even when no other complaint is raised.
Most amenity suppliers treat a yacht like a hotel room. It is not.

Where and by whom are the formulations developed? A supplier worth working with can answer this specifically — the formulation partner, the active ingredient rationale, how performance testing works. If the answer is vague, the formulation is catalogue stock with a different label.
Are the formulations reef-safe? Vessels operating in protected marine zones — which covers most of the Balearics and Mediterranean — need formulations without oxybenzone and octinoxate. Ask directly. The answer tells you whether the supplier has done this before.
How do the formats perform in a marine environment? Packaging on a yacht faces humidity, salt air, and constant movement. Standard hotel-spec packaging is not designed for this. Pump mechanisms fail. Labels peel. Bottles tip. A supplier with genuine marine experience has already solved these problems.
Do you have current EU Cosmetic Regulation compliance documentation? Every cosmetic product placed on the EU market must comply with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Request the safety assessment and product information file at proposal stage. Any serious supplier provides this without hesitation.
Can you supply reliably to Balearic timelines? Charter season in the Balearics runs June to September. Amenity shortages in peak season have no solution. SOSOO operates with Spain-based production and distribution from Palma — restocking works on local lead times, not international freight schedules.
There are two types of supplier. One offers products from a catalogue, sometimes with a label customisation option. The other develops a programme specifically for your vessel.
Catalogue selection is straightforward and produces a generic result. If your amenity line is available to any charter operator who meets the minimum order, it has no identity on your boat.
A bespoke programme is built around the vessel's specific brief — fragrance profile, texture direction, packaging format, ingredient selection. The result belongs to that boat. Guests cannot find it anywhere else. That distinction matters in a segment where every detail of the charter experience is evaluated.

What makes a yacht amenity formulation different from a standard hotel product? Marine environments impose requirements that land-based hotel products are not designed for: packaging stability against salt air and movement, reef-safe formulations for protected zones, and fragrance profiles appropriate for outdoor and water activity contexts.
How far in advance should I order a bespoke amenity programme? Allow 14 to 20 weeks from briefing to first delivery. For vessels operating in the Balearics from June, briefing in Q1 is the right approach. Start your yacht programme brief.
