Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use SPF 30+ and reef-safe formulas—the bays have sensitive Posidonia meadows and clear water that shows sunburn fast.
Wear water shoes
Rocky seabeds and boat ladders are easier on feet with non-slip water shoes; they make entering coves safer.
Plan for seasickness
Take anti-nausea medication before boarding if you’re prone to motion sickness; short open-water transits can be bumpy.
Cash for crew and tips
Have small cash for crew gratuities or extra purchases at the marina; cards aren’t always convenient on day trips.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the local seagrass ecosystems in clear shallow bays.
