Bring a light windbreaker
Even in the Caribbean, the sea breeze sharpens as the sun sets—pack a thin jacket to stay comfortable on deck.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you get queasy, take antiemetic medication before boarding and choose a seat near the vessel’s centerline.
Protect camera gear from spray
Use a lens hood and quick-dry cloth; salt spray and low light are the biggest threats to photos during sunset.
Carry ID and mobile ticket
Mobile or paper tickets are required and staff may check ID at boarding—keep them accessible.
Light windbreaker
Blocks evening chill and damp sea spray while you enjoy the deck.
Sunscreen (reef-safe)
Protects skin during late-afternoon sun while being kinder to coral ecosystems.
Seasickness tablets or bands
Helps prevent nausea on choppy stretches—take before you board for best effect.
Waterproof phone/camera pouch
Keeps devices safe from spray and allows quick photos during the golden hour.
