Wear non‑slip shoes
Decks can be wet; rubber‑soled shoes improve traction and comfort when moving around the boat.
Bring reefable sun protection
A broad‑brim hat and SPF 30+ sunscreen are important—Adriatic sun reflects off the water and intensifies exposure.
Pack a light windbreaker
Even in summer the sea breeze can be brisk; a thin windproof layer keeps you comfortable during open‑water legs.
Confirm swim ability
If you plan to swim offshore, verify conditions with the skipper and wear a brightly colored cap or use the provided buoy for safety.
Non‑slip deck shoes
Provide traction and protect feet on wet surfaces.
Sunscreen SPF 30+
Protects against strong reflected sunlight over open water.
