Take motion-sickness meds ahead of time
The Caribbean here is usually calm, but if you get seasick take medication 30–60 minutes before departure; ginger or acupressure bands also help.
Sun protection for both sides of the sail
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses — late sun reflects strongly off the water even as the day cools.
Confirm pickup and docking point
Many operators pick up from cruise terminals or select hotels with docks; verify the exact meeting location and arrival time in advance.
Bring a light layer for post-sunset chill
Temperatures drop after sundown on the water; a windbreaker or light fleece keeps you comfortable during the return leg.
