Adventure Tips

Bring Motion Sickness Remedies

Offshore fishing trips can be rough; pack tablets or patches if you’re prone to seasickness.

Wear Sun Protection

The sun reflects strongly off the open ocean, so bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.

Dress in Layers

Coastal weather can change quickly; lightweight layers help maintain comfort throughout the day.

Stay Hydrated

Bring plenty of water, as hours on the boat in the sun can dehydrate you faster than expected.
