The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is essential
Bring high-SPF reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses—the Tropics’ sun intensifies on open water.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit amidships where motion is least pronounced.
Hydrate and snack
Even though bottled water and light snacks are provided, bring an electrolyte or extra water for long afternoons on the water.
Know catch preferences
Decide ahead if you want fish cleaned for takeaway and communicate species you’d like to target so the crew can adapt tactics.
