Book an early morning slot
Morning light usually brings calmer seas and better chances for pelagic fish; it’s also cooler and less crowded on the marina.
Protect yourself from the sun
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, a brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses—reflective water intensifies UV exposure.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take prophylactic medication or bring ginger; offshore conditions can be choppy even on short trips.
Secure valuables and camera
Bring a waterproof case or dry bag—salt spray and sudden action can quickly soak phones and cameras.
Polarized sunglasses
Reduce glare for spotting fish and protect eyes from reflected sunlight.
