Pay the dock fee in cash
Marina check-in often requires a small dock fee paid at the terminal—bring pesos or small U.S. dollars to avoid delays at boarding.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens damage coral; use reef-safe SPF and reapply sparingly to minimize runoff while staying protected.
Prep for seasickness
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetic medication 30–60 minutes before departure and sit near the vessel’s center for less motion.
