What if I get sea sick?
The journey to Fitzroy Island is short but even the most experienced sailor at times can get sea sick, however this is generally easy to prevent. You can take a medicated tablet called TravaCalm (not available to minors without parental supervision/consent) or natural ginger tablets. These can be purchased at the bar onboard the catamaran.
Tablets are a prevention, not a cure, so we recommend taking them as soon as possible to allow as much time for it to take effect prior to sailing. Alternatively, discuss the best option for you with your doctor or pharmacist.
