Because we cannot control the weather, we recommend passengers of all sea experience to take a sea sickness remedy if they are prone to being sea sick or prone to motion sickness. Unless your party has booked the boat as a private charter, we cannot turn the boat around for those who become sea sick due to other passengers paying to fish. We fully recommend you treat prior to your trip to avoid being uncomfortable.
