01

What to know

Wear quick-dry long sleeves, non-slip shoes, a hat and polarized sunglasses, and reapply sun protection. Rest well, avoid excess alcohol and discuss an appropriate seasickness option with a qualified professional if you are prone to motion sickness. Tell the crew about children, health limitations and fishing experience.

How to use it on the water

Choose the 9-hour trip when the real goal is tuna or a serious offshore challenge; choose 3 hours when comfort and a first taste matter more. Bring realistic expectations: wild fish cannot be guaranteed and a weather postponement is part of professional sea safety.
