Sea sickness, safety briefings, and crew etiquette: what guests should know
Set expectations in the invite: the boat moves—eat light, hydrate, and avoid brand-new shoes. Bring layers; breeze chills faster on water. On board, I ask the captain for a concise safety brief: life jackets, handholds, no-go zones while docking, and how to move when the boat lists. For seasickness, eyes on the horizon, fresh air, and front-of-boat bragging rights are a trap—midship is kinder. Ginger chews help some people; heavy perfumes don’t. If anyone feels woozy, switch to calm headings and avoid tight circles. I also skim listings on Charterclick ( full-day yacht charter) beforehand—they often mention shoe policies, storage limits, or whether motion-sickness aids are permitted, which saves awkward conversations on board.
