The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness medication
Offshore rides and long hours make seasickness common; take antiemetics before boarding if you’re susceptible.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply a high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and reduce sunburn during long exposed periods.
Secure valuables below deck
Store electronics and loose items in the private cabin to prevent water damage during rougher stretches.
Eat and hydrate early
Eat a light meal and drink water before departure to maintain energy through a 12–16 hour day at sea.
