Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Mediterranean sun reflects off the water—use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swims to protect both skin and seagrass ecosystems.
Waterproof storage
Carry a dry bag or waterproof phone case for valuables during swim stops and transfers to shore.
Practice ladder re-boarding
If you plan to snorkel, be confident getting back aboard from the water; wear a life vest if you’re not a strong swimmer.
Anchor etiquette
Ask the captain where to anchor to avoid Posidonia meadows; anchoring in seagrass damages protected habitat.
