Pregnant Women
• Go boating during the day and in calm seas.
• Avoid sharp turns and slow down for large wakes.
• Drink more water than usual to stay hydrated.
• It is a good idea to stay seated in the accommodation deck area while
underway.
• Stay close to the home port in the third trimester.
People with Handicaps and Elderly People
Depending on the disability, there are many marine-specialized options available to
make boats safer and friendlier. Researching on the internet for your specific needs
is the best way to start.
Pets
• Not all pets can swim; consider a life jacket.
• If playing fetch in the water, get a pet-friendly boarding ramp to make
reboarding easier.
• Provide a shaded area and plenty of fresh drinking water.
• Consider foot protection for hot sand and boat surfaces.
• Allow the pet to get accustomed to the surroundings before launching/
leaving. Keep the first outing short to allow the pet to get used to the
boating environment.
