Adventure Tips

Bring Motion Sickness Remedies

Shark fishing involves being offshore where seas can be choppy; bring medication or natural remedies if you're prone to seasickness.

Wear Non-Slip Footwear

Decks may become slippery due to water and bait; proper footwear will keep you steady and safe during the trip.

Apply Sun Protection

Even with a covered cabin, you will be exposed to sun on deck; use sunscreen, hats, and UV-protective clothing to avoid sunburn.

Stay Hydrated

Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated throughout the trip, especially on warm days when you’re out in the open water.
