📋 What's Included and What's Not

💡 What to Bring with You on the Fishing Tour

• Sun Protection: On the open sea the sun's rays and the reflection from the water are much stronger; high-factor sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are a must.
• Sea Items: Swimsuit, bikini, shorts and a beach towel for the refreshing swimming break in the open sea.
• A Light Layer: Since we set out to sea early in the morning, it is recommended to bring a light windbreaker or cardigan against the cool sea breeze.
• Seasickness Precaution: If you are sensitive to waves or have a history of seasickness, taking a nausea pill from the pharmacy 1 hour before the tour will help you get through the day comfortably.
