Why we get seasick
It’s no wonder that seasickness is also known as motion sickness. We get sick due to the boat motion and has to do with the way our bodies and minds perceive our spatial orientation – basically, we lose balance, feel the boat’s motion, and start feeling nausea.
How to prevent seasickness

Today, there are plenty of choices among pills you can take before you get on the boat that can help you avoid seasickness.
- Choose food & drinks cautiously
Avoid alcohol and spicy food the night before the trip with BabaSails. Prefer a light snack, keep crackers on you, and have a soft drink if you start feeling seasick.
- Focus on the horizon & take big breaths
Avoid reading and let your eyes follow the open horizon. It’s best to stay on the deck. The fresh air is helpful. Just try to keep your mind off the seasickness and concentrate on something else without bending your head too much.
