Bring reef-safe sunscreen
UV reflects strongly off water—apply reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swims to protect skin and marine life.
Wear water shoes
Rocky beaches and submerged slabs near coves are common; water shoes protect feet and improve grip when boarding dinghies.
Hydrate and pack a dry bag
Four hours on open water means sun, spray and wind—carry a liter of water per person in a waterproof bag for phones and jackets.
Listen to the skipper
