The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is essential

Long, slow runs and wind can unsettle sensitive riders—take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness.
Hydrate and pack snacks
Eight hours on the water is long—bottled water is provided, but bring extra fluids and light snacks to keep energy steady.
Listen to the captain
Your guide directs boat placement and tackle choices for safety and success—follow instructions for casting and landing fish.
