Bring motion-sickness meds
Trolling keeps the boat moving over swells — take antiemetics or acupressure bands before departure.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks get wet and anglers need secure footing when fighting fish; closed-toe, grippy shoes reduce slips.
Protect against sun
Sun reflects off open water — high‑SPF sunscreen, a brimmed hat and UV sunglasses are musts.
Plan for boat-to-shore timing
Allow extra time for hotel pickup and return—charters often include port or hotel drop-off but schedules can shift with conditions.
Polarized sunglasses
Cut glare and help you spot bait and birds on the water.
Non-slip deck shoes
Provide traction on wet surfaces and protect toes during reel work.
High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm
Essential for prolonged sun exposure on open water.
