The sun is a hard disc above the Pacific as the boat pushes past the bay mouth and the shoreline of Playa Flamingo slides into a blue horizon. Sea spray stings your cheeks, the hull cuts into swells that seem to push the day forward, and within an hour you’re over drop-offs where the ocean suddenly descends from a few hundred feet to well over a thousand.

Take seasickness medicine early
If you get queasy, take a motion‑sickness pill 30–60 minutes before departure and again as directed to stay comfortable during open‑ocean swells.
Protect your skin
Bring high‑SPF sunscreen, a wide‑brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses — the sun and reflected glare intensify on the open Pacific.
Wear stable footwear
Non‑marking, slip‑resistant deck shoes or sandals with straps improve footing on wet decks and during fights with big fish.
Bring cash for tips and licenses
Have small bills for crew gratuities and any on‑dock fees; confirm whether fishing licenses are included or need to be purchased.
Polarized sunglasses
Reduce glare for spotting fish and protect eyes from UV reflected off the water.
Motion‑sickness medication
Prevents nausea on open‑ocean crossings and improves comfort during the day.
Non‑slip deck shoes
Provide secure footing on wet decks and during angling maneuvers.
High‑SPF sunscreen and lip balm
