Adventure Tips
Prepare for Sun Exposure
Florida’s Gulf Coast offers little natural shade—bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself during long hours on the water.
Bring Motion Sickness Remedies
The water can get choppy, especially in the open Gulf; having seasickness medication on hand helps ensure an enjoyable trip.
Dress for Variable Weather
Mornings can be cool, but midday heats up quickly—layered clothing is ideal for adjusting throughout the day.
Hydrate Before and During the Trip
Bring plenty of water since fishing requires focus and dehydration can sneak up fast in the sun.
