Layer up
Even on warm days the Tagus sends a cool breeze; bring a windproof layer to stay comfortable on deck.
Protect against sun and spray
Use sunscreen and polarized sunglasses — spray and reflected light from the river increase UV exposure.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or bring ginger tablets before boarding.
Charge and secure cameras
Bring a wrist strap or dry pouch; the best shots come from the rail and a dropped camera can end your day.
Windbreaker or light jacket
