The Experience
Before You Go
Protect Against Sun
Jamaican sun is strong—use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare while fishing.
Bring Seasickness Remedies
Take motion-sickness meds before boarding if you’re prone to nausea; mornings are usually calmer for predictable seas.
Secure Electronics
Use waterproof cases or dry bags for phones and cameras—spray and sudden heaves are common on open-water drifts.
Tipping & Local Etiquette
Tipping crew for a good trip is customary; ask about cleaning and packing any fish you plan to keep.
