Your first boat cruise is coming but you have to be appropriately prepared for this fantastic experience to fully enjoy the journey you constantly dream! We’ve gathered some basic tips, advices and instructions to guide you in your first time cruising by boat in order to prevent possible risks.
So, let’s dive into and learn some valuable information for a smooth time in the boat!
PREPARE ONLY THE ESSENTIALS
It is very important to not pack unecessery things so you can make the best of the space you have on the boat.
After a long day of diving and swimming into the sea-bottom, you will only need a changing set of clothes and clean towels.
Sometimes, first-time boaters experience feelings of seasickness (don’t panic it can happen to anyone!), because they are not used to the motion of the sea. In this case, all you need to do is to add some medication or chewing gum to your backpack.
Lastly, obviously don’t forget to include your passport or an identity card, and your travel map as these are very important travel documents when you arrive and you’ll need them in your check-in!
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUNLIGHT
When you imagine a boat cruise, you probably think of exploring heavenly seashores and hidden treasures and then laying and sunbathing under the hot sun.
However, as you know the temperature gets really high in Greece during summer and the last thing you need to worry about during your holidays is getting sunburned!
So, if you want to get tanned fearlessly, remember to bring the sunscreen, your sunglasses and a big hat or a cap. Especially, when you cruise by boat in August you need to protect yourself from the sunlight!
FOLLOW THE SAFETY BRIEFING AND INSTRUCTIONS
The time is here but there is still one important thing to consider!
You’ve to attend the detailed safety briefing we provide before you start your journey in the sea and listen carefully to the basic safety tips. Following the safety rules will make you feel comfortable as well as will help you become familiar with the boat.
Keep in mind that all of our boats are fully-equipped with lifejackets to ensure safety on the water. We provide for all the members of the crew and especially for our little friends. No matter how great you swim, you should still wear a life jacket!
Finally, of course you must avoid consuming alcoholic drinks or beverages because they can easily upset your stomach and distract you from having happy moments with your loved ones!
