More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A slow swell rocks the 52-foot Merritt as you leave Boca Raton inlet, the city skyline shrinking to a line of roofs while the Atlantic opens up like a challenge. Salt air cuts sharp; the captain checks gear, the cockpit stretches out behind you—extra room to fight a fish that doesn't want to be caught. The ocean here feels deliberate, currents pushing you toward offshore ledges where sailfish and wahoo patrol.

Take motion-sickness meds early
If prone to seasickness, dose at least 30–60 minutes before departure—prevention is more effective than cure.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Bring SPF 30+ sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV-protective layers—reflected sun off the water intensifies exposure.

Protect phones and stow windbreakers; a quick photo of a release is worth the space.
