Non-marking deck shoes or trainers are essential for safety on board. Don’t forget sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen.

If you have any mobility concerns or health issues, it’s best to discuss them with the organisers before booking so they can assist where possible. ### What happens if the weather is poor? The skipper monitors weather conditions closely and plans the route to prioritise safety and comfort. The Indian Ocean’s conditions can vary, with periods of calm and occasional rougher seas. Adjustments to the itinerary or route may be made to avoid adverse weather. In case of bad weather preventing sailing on certain days, alternative activities or sheltered anchorages may be offered. Flexibility is important on ocean voyages, and guests are encouraged to embrace the changing conditions as part of the experience. ### Are meals and drinks included?

Local stops might also offer opportunities to purchase drinks ashore. ### Can I participate in sailing the boat? Yes, guests are encouraged to get involved in sailing activities as much as they wish. Whether it’s helming, trimming sails, navigation, or ropework, there are plenty of opportunities to learn and practice skills under expert guidance. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, it’s perfectly acceptable to take a back seat and enjoy the voyage. The crew fosters a welcoming atmosphere where all levels of involvement are respected. ### What safety precautions are in place?
