Puerto Vallarta is world-renowned as a premier destination for sportfishing. With the deep, nutrient-rich waters of Banderas Bay and famous offshore banks like El Banco and La Corbetena, there is never a bad time to cast a line. However, motion sickness can quickly turn a dream adventure into an uncomfortable day if you are not prepared.
At Mike’s Fishing & Tours, we’ve spent over 18 years navigating these waters. To help you enjoy a seamless, stress-free trip, we’ve put together this simple guide on how to prevent seasickness. Consequently, you can focus on landing your trophy catch without any worries when you step aboard our fleet.
Simple Steps to Prevent Seasickness Before and During Your Tour
Preventing motion sickness is much easier than curing it once it starts. A few smart adjustments before boarding will make a massive difference in your comfort.
- Take Medication Early: If you are prone to motion sickness, take over-the-counter remedies like Dramamine or Bonine at least one hour before stepping onto the boat. Therefore, the medication has enough time to enter your system.
- Watch Your Food and Drink: Eat a light meal before departure, avoiding heavy grease, dairy, and excessive alcohol. Furthermore, stay well-hydrated with fresh water throughout the day.
- Focus on the Horizon and Stay Fresh: Look at a fixed point on the horizon rather than reading or looking down at your phone. In addition, stay in well-ventilated areas where you can feel the fresh ocean breeze on your face.
