The boat slips past the port with the island still dim, the sky paling as breakfast and coffee are laid out on the deck. Salt and engine oil mingle; the captain scans the horizon with practiced calm while lines are readied. Sea spray dares you to stand at the rail — this is open water fishing, where patience and quick hands both matter.

Take seasickness medicine in advance
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take antiemetics an hour before departure — damp mornings and choppy afternoons can provoke nausea.
Wear non-slip deck shoes
A wet fiberglass deck is slippery; closed, non-slip footwear improves safety and stability while casting or handling fish.
Protect from sun and spray
Bring a broad-brim hat, sunglasses with retainer, and high-SPF sunscreen — reflected sun off the water intensifies UV exposure.
Bring a small waterproof bag
Keep your phone, documents, and a light jacket in a waterproof pouch to protect them from salt spray and sudden squalls.
Motion-sickness medication (Dramamine or meclizine)
Take before boarding to reduce nausea on open-water crossings.
Non-slip deck shoes
Protects your feet and improves traction on wet surfaces.
High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm
Essential for prolonged sun exposure over reflective water.
Light waterproof jacket
Light rain or spray protection useful in sudden tropical squalls, especially during the rainy season.
