Morning launch for calm seas
Winds typically pick up in the afternoon—opt for an early start to keep the sea flat and currents manageable.
Protect the seagrass
Avoid grounding on shallow beds of Posidonia oceanica—enter and exit beaches slowly and stay in deep water where possible.

Know self-rescue basics
This tour expects high fitness—practice re‑entry and towing techniques before longer coastal paddles.
Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
Required for safety and flotation during long open stretches and swim stops.
