Arrive 20 minutes early

Protect against sun and spray
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential even on cooler days; the sea reflects strong UV and spray can chill unprotected skin.

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication an hour before departure and choose a central seat where movement is least noticeable.
Wear non‑slip footwear and layers
Deck surfaces get wet and windy conditions are common—closed, grippy shoes and a windproof layer improve comfort.
