Preventing Seasickness — The Best Tips
Preventive Medication
Motion sickness tablets or acupressure wristbands should be taken/applied before departure, not once symptoms already appear.
Cabin and Position Choice
Cabins amidships and on deck (rather than below deck) noticeably reduce motion and nausea — this should be factored into your cabin choice on board.
Diet on Board
Light meals, plenty of water, and avoiding alcohol in the first few days help the body adjust to the motion.
Catamaran as an Alternative
Anyone prone to seasickness often benefits significantly from the steadier ride of a catamaran compared to a classic sailing yacht.
Frequently asked questions
Does looking at the horizon help?
Yes, focusing on a fixed point on the horizon (rather than down or at a book) helps your balance system adjust to the motion.
