Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect marine life and reapply frequently—spray makes application easy on a moving deck.
Prepare for movement
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-ship where motion is least felt.
Wear non-slip shoes
Closed-toe deck shoes or sandals with grip make boarding and moving around the yacht safer on wet surfaces.
Plan morning departures
Mornings usually offer calmer seas and better visibility for snorkeling and whale detection.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the marine environment during sun-exposed hours on deck and in the water.
