Practical guide to prepare for your boat trip with l’Eden Boat

Exploring the Calanques by boat is an unforgettable experience, but to make the most of it, it’s essential to come prepared. Here’s a complete guide to help you organize your trip and enjoy a perfect day with l’Eden Boat.

1. Prepare for comfort: avoid seasickness

Seasickness can be a concern, but it’s easy to prevent with these tips:

• Eat light: Avoid boarding on an empty stomach or after a heavy meal.
• Rest well: A good night’s sleep reduces fatigue and the risk of nausea.
• Dress warmly: Even in summer, the sea breeze can feel cool, so bring a light jacket or windbreaker.
• Stay calm: Anxiety can exacerbate symptoms, so relax and trust our experienced skippers.

Our professional skippers ensure a smooth ride to make your journey as pleasant as possible.

2. What to bring?

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable outing, don’t forget these essentials:

• Sun protection: Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are must-haves to shield yourself from UV rays.
• Swimsuit and towel: Swimming stops in the Calanques’ crystal-clear waters are a highlight of the trip.
• Camera or smartphone: Capture the breathtaking landscapes for memories that last a lifetime.
• Light clothing and a jacket: Wear comfortable clothes and bring a layer for cooler moments.

Note: You’ll be barefoot on board, as shoes are stored in a box or bin to keep the boat clean and comfortable.
