The Experience
Before You Go
Take motion-sickness meds early
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication at least one hour before departure for the best chance of comfort.
Sun protection is critical
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and protect your skin all day.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep phones, cameras and personal items dry and secure; water, ice and a wet deck are part of the day.
Bring cash for crew gratuities
Tipping the captain and mate is customary and appreciated—small bills make exchanges easy at the marina.

Conservation Note
Practice species-appropriate handling and consider catch-and-release for vulnerable fish; avoid single-use plastics and follow crew guidance to minimize impact on reef and pelagic habitats.
Cap Cana developed into a private marina and resort district in the early 2000s; commercial and sport fishing were long-standing local livelihoods before resort expansion.
