Spending the day on a yacht is invigorating and luxurious. However, seasickness can prevent you from fully enjoying the experience. To keep this from happening to you, Compass Rose Yacht Charters, a boating and charter business in Berkeley, CA, has shared their top tips.

To ensure you have a memorable time aboard the yacht, keep the following pointers in mind:

• Eat a Bite: Always eat something before boating. Bring light snacks with you, as well, to ease any nausea you experience. It is important to consume the right types of food, however. Avoid greasy, heavy, or rich options; instead, opt for something light. Nibble on crackers or olives as a snack, and drink Sprite® or lemon water.

• Enjoy the Fresh Air: One trigger for seasickness is the inability to see the motion of the boat. When you feel the waves but cannot see why the motion is happening, your mind can become confused and off-balance. Avoid confining yourself to an indoor room. Stay out on the deck where you can see the waves and any land in the distance. The cool wind will also prevent nausea.

• Use an Antiemetic: Over-the-counter antiemetics work well for many. However, they can cause drowsiness in some. Those who prefer a natural remedy should opt for ginger or peppermint. You can either chew on ginger root or take it in pill form. Bring along some mint candies or a bottle of peppermint oil. Inhaling the oil alone can greatly reduce symptoms.

Enjoy your boating experience without the threat of seasickness. If you are looking for an oceanic party venue for your wedding or corporate event, check out Compass Rose Yacht Charters.
