The Experience
Before You Go
Take motion-sickness precautions
If you’re prone to seasickness, use medication or acupressure bands before boarding—early morning is calmer but conditions can change.
Dress in layers and non-slip shoes
Mornings are cool on the water; a light windbreaker and shoes with good grip keep you comfortable and safe on deck.
Protect against sun and spray
Bring sunscreen and a brimmed hat—reflection from the sea intensifies UV exposure during the sunrise hours.
Bring identification and any relevant medical info
Operators may require ID and need to know about injuries, pregnancy, or heart issues before you board.

Lebanon’s coastal waters face overfishing and marine litter; operators typically advise catch limits and encourage minimal-impact practices and proper disposal of waste.
Beirut’s coast has been a maritime crossroads since Phoenician times; the modern port still echoes centuries of seafaring and trade.
