Enjoying a boat trip around Mallorca is a unique experience, but sometimes seasickness can be an inconvenience for some people. Whether due to the movement of the water or a lack of getting used to being at sea, seasickness can ruin the fun. However, there are several ways to prevent it and enjoy the excursion worry-free. At Mallorca Sea Tours we give you some tips so that your experience at sea is as enjoyable as it is memorable.
Keep your eyes fixed on the horizon
When you set off on a boat excursion, your gaze can be an important factor in avoiding seasickness. Watching the movement of the water or looking inside the boat can intensify the feeling of seasickness.
- Look at the horizon: keep your eyes fixed on the horizon or on distant points at sea, as this helps synchronize the movement of your body with that of the boat and reduces the feeling of seasickness.
- Avoid looking at books or screens: reading or looking at electronic devices while the boat is moving can make seasickness worse.

Your location on the boat plays a key role in how you perceive the movement of the waves.
- Sit in the center of the boat: this is where the movement is least intense. If you can, try to position yourself there to minimize the rocking sensations.
- Avoid the outer areas: although the views are beautiful, the areas closest to the bow or stern usually experience more movement, which can increase the chances of feeling seasick.

Don't underestimate the power of being well fed and hydrated before you set sail. Dehydration and a lack of nutrients can make you more susceptible to seasickness.
- Drink water: keep a bottle of water with you and make sure to drink regularly.
- Avoid overeating: eating heavy meals before the trip can increase the likelihood of seasickness. Opt for something light, such as a piece of fruit or a small snack.
- Avoid alcoholic drinks: alcohol can dehydrate you and increase the feeling of seasickness, so it's best to avoid it before and during the boat trip.
