I get seasick easily. I’ve had the best luck with the patch. I’ve never gotten seasick or even felt bad wearing it. I have had drinks while wearing it with no ill effects.

Stay on deck, do not go into the cabin if the boat has a cabin.
And it happens fast and on quite a few occasions.
For me just getting back topside will fix it and reason enough for a big rain jacket. My dad always had to stay way from the diesel fumes.

Bonine>>>>Dramamine
I've never had issues with sea sickness, but have worked with a lot of airborne sensor operators that agree with the above for that.
Others that mentioned Zofran are probably correct. It's a lifesaver for nausea. You just won't shite for a few days.

Get a Scopolamine script. Works better than Dramamine.
This is what I use. Drink plenty water the night before. Put patch on night before.

Just don’t go lay down inside the cabin. I made that mistake one morning, on the way out cause I was tired, and I felt it coming. Ran outside, threw up for about 15 minutes, just stood up, holding onto the rail, staring at a rig in the distance, and I felt better, and was able to fish.
That’s the only time I’ve ever been seasick, but I remember the feeling of doom, of being stuck in the middle of the ocean for several hours, throwing up. I was so glad it cleared up cause I’m always seeing people spending an entire trip just throwing up. I thought that was gonna be me lol. But you want to see the water, feel that breeze, and feel the mist of the water hitting you.

A good bit of motion sickness is caused by the disconnect between feeling motion (inner ear) and seeing motion (eyes). Very few people will ever experience motion sickness if there is a connection between the motion they are feeling and seeing....if it is close to being in synch, and it will be on a boat. On the flip side of that almost all mammals will eventually experience some degree of motion sickness if they sense motion but do not visualize or see motion. Lock the saltiest sailor in a dark cabin on a pitching boat and that person will most likely experience some motion sickness eventually. If it is raining or cold or hot and you need some AC and you must go inside the cabin stay where you can see the water moving or the horizon moving. Stay out of the bathroom with the door closed as much as possible...anything to maintain the connection between felt movement and seeing movement.

Great advice. Only time I have ever felt queasy is hitting the head for a #2 in some 4’s after a long night drinking and not being able to see. Otherwise I don’t get seasick but know the bands work wonders. Speaking of drinking, getting a buzz early I think helps me so we are usually cracking open a white can once we pass the jetties.

Do not drink the night before. Also stay in the back of the boat. Don’t go in the cabin where you can’t see the horizon. Don’t drink much of anything while on the boat.

get the patch

Others like the patch (scopalamine).

I’ve sailed competitively for over 20 yrs. in offshore distance races. We had 6 of 12 in crew sick in a Chi-Mac race (2012) Ginger, dramamine and scopolamine are the normal remedy. Practical Sailor had a review and 25 mg. STUGERON was the best reviewed.
Unfortunately it’s not available in the land of the free.
.I buy on-line at Canadian Drugs Direct. I paid $117.98 for 200 (8@25) in 2023
Last year on day 1 of 5 day passage wife needed relief and she swears by it..1 dose every 8 hrs.
I don’t race anymore….floating furniture barge w/ wife now.

When I did ROV work offshore and the seas were rough I'd take Bonine when I woke up and a Dramamine when I got off shift. I get seasick easily and made it through 20+ft seas with that combo.

Get your dr to give you an rx for Zofran. Done....you're welcome.

Anyone ever try Zofran after they started feeling bad?
I haven’t tried it for sea sickness but from my experience with both I don’t think it would prevent it
