Seasickness Prevention That Works on a Yacht Charter (Before, During & After You Board)

Image
Seasickness Prevention That Actually Works (Before, During, and After You Board) Seasickness is one of those things people whisper about like it’s embarrassing. It’s not. Motion sickness is a normal body response—and on a yacht charter, you don’t want “Day 1 nausea” stealing the best parts of your trip. My best advice, stay up top (like on the flybridge when underway), look straight as often as you can, do not go down below unless you have to when there are swells or underway unless you are going to be. If these don’t work… keep reading. Here’s the truth: most seasickness is preventable if you do the right steps at the right time. This guide is deliberately practical: what to do before you board what to do on the boat what to do if you still feel sick and what to do if you feel weird after you get back on land (Quick note: This is general information, not medical advice.

Image
How to Choose the Right Crew (Captain, Chef, and the “Vibe” That Makes the Trip) People obsess over yacht photos—sun decks, cabins, the perfect swim platform. But the truth is: the crew is the experience. Two identical yachts can feel like totally different vacations depending on: the captain’s style (structured vs flexible) the chef’s strengths (healthy/wellness vs comfort food vs fine dining) service rhythm (quiet and discreet vs social and high-energy) crew chemistry (smooth teamwork vs awkward tension) Even general charter advice sites emphasize that crew roles and leadership (especially the captain) shape routing, safety, and overall experience. This guide shows you how to pick the right crew on purpose —and how to read crew bios like a pro. Step 1: Start With Your “Vacation Identity” Before you evaluate a crew, define what success looks like for your group.
