Hydrate and protect against the sun
Bring plenty of water and reef-safe sunscreen; the tropical sun is strong and reflected off the water.
Wear non-slip, closed-toe shoes
Decks get wet and gear moves—stable footwear reduces slips and protects toes during landings.
Bring seasickness medication if needed
The gulf can be glassy or rolly—take meds before boarding if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Follow catch-and-release and captain instructions
Respect size limits and the captain’s handling techniques to protect fish and ensure safety during fights.
Polarized sunglasses
Reduces glare to spot fish and protects eyes from UV reflected off the water.
Reef-safe sunscreen and wide-brim hat
Protects skin during long sun exposure while minimizing environmental impact.
Motion-sickness medication or wrist bands
Helpful if you’re susceptible to rolling seas, especially on longer runs.
Waterproof camera or phone case
Capture strikes, landed fish and coastal wildlife without risking your device.
