The Experience
Before You Go
Take sea‑sickness medication ahead of time
Even calm mornings can get choppy; take motion‑sickness medicine at least 30 minutes before departure if you’re susceptible.
Sun protection is a must
Bring high‑SPF sunscreen, a wide‑brim hat, and UV sunglasses—the boat offers little shade while underway.
Bring non‑slip shoes
Decks can be wet and slippery; closed, grippy footwear improves balance when reeling in fish.
Know the health advisories
This trip isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers or people with serious back or heart conditions—check with the operator if unsure.
