Before you venture out into the ocean, ensure you wear your safety vest properly,, if you have any doubts, make sure to check with your skipper. Sometimes, you’ll be provided with helmets, find the one that fits you best and tighten it for utmost safety and comfort. If you’re uncomfortable at one point, before, during or after, make sure to communicate it to your skipper.

No matter what season it is, the sun’s always out and is harsh, please wear sunscreen and protect yourself from the harmful UVA/UVB rays which might cause tanning or sunburn, protecting your eyes with a pair of sunglasses is always best, sunrays strain your eyes and it’s better to avoid it. Wear light, breathable material for maximum comfort.

5. Don’t forget to give a genuine feedback 


Every service provider would appreciate constructive feedback, be open and vocal about the entire experience, if there is anything they could work on,  feel free to communicate it to them. Customer feedback is key to improving business practice and helps companies deliver better results and customer experience. Do thank the skippers for their time and patience and ensuring your safe and wonderful sailing experience.
