The Only Sea Sickness Remedy That Works! 

Oh yes...I have tried this yesterday on my boat trip....it's works.....❤❤

I am getting sea sick just watching this video...and I will surly try your method...

Thumbnail brought me here..

Good Video, I have been Diving professionally for over 25 years all over FLA. I hate it when I get on board with a crew that claims they have never been seasick and act like its a shame if someone does. I generally will not use them in the future. I typically take newer divers out for their first handful of dives after getting certified and a good boat will wholeheartedly admit that they get seasick some times and that it is ok if they do as well. There is no shame in it and we can not control if and when we get sick. They do everything they can to help out their paying clients to mitigate the effects of motion sickness. I myself almost always get seasick and I don't care. I'm still gonna be out there diving and enjoying what the ocean provides me!

Too much Dramamine and you will notice you haven't shit for 3 days. Then suddenly, you will have to give birth to a sandpaper softball.

One thing to avoid getting sick is to never lean over and face down while baiting a line or taking off a fish. Do it standing upright or you become sick almost instantly. Leaning down looking into a tackle box for too long will get you every time.

Yes I get instantly sea sick when I go into the cabin! Thanks for the tips!

Best video about sea sickness there is. One at bedtime the night before and one when you get up/on your way to the dock.

I tried Dramamine once and experienced the exact symptoms you described. Always wondered who would benefit from that. I'm pretty sure the "in the cabin" thing is caused by the difference between what your eye sees (everything is sitting still) and what your inner ear feels (everything is moving). That has made me sick before too.

it takes me several hours to get back to normal if I even get the tiniest hint of motion sickness.

Yeah dude. Worked for me. Im completely useless with motion. You got me from Australia to finland and I kept it together. Cheers bro

If someone is severely seasick and you are a long ways offshore, a temp emerg technique to stabilize the person before heading back to shore, is get them off the boat into the water. Tread water for 10-15 minutes. Then get them back in and race home!! 😀 learnt that from some dive charters.

That was the best video about preventing and enduring sea sickness I ever watched.

I have found that catching a fish makes my seasickness go away, I have chummed well a few times as well. I concur with your advice. Kevin

I got sea sick today and listening to this is making me seasick all over again.

I love to fish offshore but hate getting seasick thanks for the advice. Something ive found to help too is to get into the water for a minute and just float with the waves it really helps

I have been battling seasickness for 38 years, fishing off the California coast. Best medicine for me has been meclizine as found in the pill called BONINE. Also known as less drowsy formula of Dramamine. I take one the night before, one first thing in the morning, one mid morning if needed. I avoid milk, coffee, orange juice for breakfast. My last tool has been to use the electric shock watch recommended by local Fishing Captain.. Truly works.

When you are feeling giddy, try looking at the horizon, fixed objects or land. I just started working as a lifeboat crew and this is what they teach us. It worked for me.

Ginger works very well to. Take it the same way too, the day before and the day of.

I cured my motion sickness by spending a lot of time on a boat while it was docked. That way if I felt it coming on I could quickly get off. After several repetitions of this you will find yourself not fighting the motion and going along with it. Hope that makes sense, but it permanently ended my sea sick problem.

Excellent advise! I use Bonine and do exactly as mentioned, even start taking it a couple days prior to hitting the water It is crucial to get it in your system. Never realized it but I do agree now that you mention it keeping busy does help. Sitting around on the boat and doing nothing is brutal anyway. Another issue I ran into was using out of date meds. Found that out the hard way. Now I make sure meds are fresh fresh!!

I've done this for years now, always works even in rough water. I would only add that you have to have something on your stomach, eat breakfast if you can, just not a heavy or exceptionally greasy breakfast NO MILK OR DAIRY THOUGH. Also, you have to stay hydrated, I sip a 12 oz. bottle of water (the best thing to drink off shore) on the way out and always have a light lunch and maybe a snack or two while I'm out there. m out there

Great suggestions Captain Mike. You are the first one to talk about sea sickness. Great Job!!!!! Thanks,

Sea sickness not only physically scars you,it mentally scars you. I went out on a boat this morning off of the Gold Coast in Australia and I got violently ill. The vomiting doesn't stop. It is by far the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

I left part of my soul off of Destin two days ago! 12 hour charter 8 to 10 foot swells all the way out. Took Dramamine as prescribed and was sicker than I’ve ever been! Next time I’ll take the night before, good video

Great vid...been doing exactly that for 30+ years as a diver, works great. Virtually no side effects next day, but enough med to work.! Funny, you instructions are EXACTLY what I do!!

My wife won't even set foot on a boat because of her sea sickness. I'll tell her about this though, great tips!

As a Pharmacist, I agree with your dosage plan. It makes good pharmacological sense. Thanks!

My dad used to get deathly seasick, nothing worked until an old timer told him of a little trick. This is going to sound funny but it works, put a foam earplug in one ear, only one ear. My dad did it and was never seasick again.

What absolutely works for me and I mean every single time are prescription patches, but they are expensive.

Working offshore riding the crew boats used to get me sick and the first thing I would do is get out on the deck the smell in the cabin made me sick and focusing on the horizon would help me too but the smell in the cabin was horrible you touched on a good subject I went on later in life to work on ships and supply boats and just got used to it, put them sea legs on and go lol

I recently went on a Tuna charter. Took this stuff about two hours prior to the trip. Waters were rough and wind was kicking. On the way out, I fell asleep on the ride, didn’t know how I slept through those swells but this would make sense. I just thought it was time for my nap 😂

Good tips. I take Dramamine when I know it’s gonna be a little sloppy when I wake up. Sometimes I do get real lethargic. I’m gonna try your method next time. 👍👍

This works I used to to this in the past when I was very sensitive to it. Night before and when I got up, pretty much cured it. Now I'm more used to it and just take it in the morning.

Thanks for the tip. I have not been on a boat in a long while and I want to make sure I don't have a problem. prevention is the best policy.

Man I have to tell you Captain Mike, this is turning out to be one of the best channels on you tube. I am starting to look forward to your vids and all the new info that I am learning. Keep this up and pretty quick you’ll be looking at 50K subs. Thank you for all the good info. 👍

Great video, I'm going to show this to our clients who have any questions. Thanks!

Bonine using the same method described here works for me...I only start getting sleepy coming in from a trip from getting up early!

Great tips! I agree with being active and not just sitting there focusing on the waves and the boat rocking.

Captain Mike I’m so glad I found your channel. The topics you cover and the explanations you provide are priceless. I agree that once motion sickness hits you the only thing one wants is terra firma. I agree with Dramamine making you sleepy, even the non-drowsy version makes me drowsy. I’ll definitely try your suggestion of taking it the night before. Keep making your awesome videos. The South Florida fishing community appreciates what you’re doing.

Took dramamine and patches and I still got severe headaches and dizziness but strangely I didn't vomit, which happen when I didn't take anything. I also notice that I only get sick when the boat is still. If the boat is driving then I'm instantly...instantly okay. I've had the same problems in a hammock since I was a child. And I can't read while I'm in a moving vehicle. I really wish I can solve this because I love the ocean and every time I go out there in the deep to fish the other people look down on me because I'm not contributing to catching the fish because of my headaches. Sucks.

Great tips, but anybody else getting seasick just watching this video with the waves and rocking boat?! Is it practice? LOL

I suffer from sea sickness, thank u for this advice I will try it out

Thanks for the tips going sailing in a week and want to have a good time going to get the Dramamine

Good advice. I remember one trip out of Honolulu in winter rollers. I was fine all day, but, when we hit the harbor boats were stacked up, I was lounging, and all the diesel fumes hit me. I was chumming all the way to tie up. Miserable.

Tight lines to you too Captain

I always got seasick as a kid, and Dramamine would knock me out every time. The one thing I found that always worked and didn’t have any side effects is acupressure wrist bands. Put them on when you get on the boat and leave them on the whole time and you’ll have no issues, even in the cabin. I even wore them for a week straight sailing the keys. No issues!

Staring at the horizon definitely works you just have to stay staring at it for more than 10 minutes. Also what’s works for me is eating candy something with sugar

Chewing coca tea powder cures motion sickness too.

Excellent tip Capt Mike. I’m Capt Queasy and have tried the wristbands and ginger candy yet neither work like Dramamine or Bonine taken the way you described it. I appreciate you confessing your own occasional seasickness, it helps the rest of us feel less like landlubbers. 😎

Keep your eye on the tip of your rod works for me all the time and for light headed keep salty pickles around to help you with sea sick

After many many trips on fishing boats in calm and super rough water the best thing you can do is be rested, hydrated, and use the 24hr less drowsy Dramamine. Half before you got to bed and a Whole pill when you get up. Light breakfast and you should be good to go every time. Packing some unsalted crackers and ginger ale is a plus. You do all that you'll be fine. I think 🤔😁

I used to feel better once i got back to land now. Now i stay "off" for multiple days. And I'm picking up my first boat tomorrow🙏

Travel-Wristbands- surprised no one else recommended these. works great, even on my 3 year old grand daughter.

great advice , if you think of benadryl this dries out your nose . the dramamine will in effect dry out your inner ear , this reduces the pressure and thus makes the inner ear less sensitive..

This is correct. Also I never have alcohol the night b4 not even 1 beer. Pack some ginger candy in your lunch box too and the moment you start feeling the slightest bit queasy pop 2 in your mouth. In the 2 yrs I worked on a boat near shore even in 28 ft swells the BEST deterrent is to not focus on it (that uh oh feeling) its hard but you just have to put it out if your mind. By focusing on something else you can turn it off (some can anyway). Eat a healthy bkfst and stay hydrated. Glad you covered this, almost every day we had fishermen getting sick. Always felt bad for them.

I keep a bucket on the boat if the kids start to feel oozy they get drenched a few times always make them better.

Hey C Mike living in florida most of us grow up going fishing I grew up.on the water and I remember one of the 1st times I went out I got sick and it was horrible I tried everything nothing worked but I still went fishin until oneday someone showed me these goofy bracelets I was like noway those things wrk omg was I wrong lets just say I never missed another offshore trip again so if you get sea sick try the sea bands put them on your wrist just before leaving the dock and you will be fine you should get you some and put them away on your boat great channel

I always thank the Chummers...they do a great job and a fantastic much appreciated service to us well guys that can hang on the rail...and to you guys that chum and hang on the rail and keep fishin I say ya got Huevos 🤙

Breath mints an cold water help if u feel like crap ... me personally I love sleeping on boat when its rough. Sleep like baby.

That's the exact way I been taking it and works perfect everytime. Wonderful advice thank you

sometimes just hurling it out is the only remedy to ease the pain but we all know we try to avoid it at all costs (despite knowing it will take care of it.)

I get hurl and chum the water sea sick. The Dramamine as you recommend does work well. I like that patch that goes behind the ear too. Dude your channel is good. I like the info you put out.

Great tip! I usually use it 4 hours before and may still feel a little weird. Mandatory for a Catalina trip. Funny thing is, I never get see sick surfing. 😝

Down a beer works great

I do fine when I'm out there fishing as long as I keep watching the water. The minute I have to tie on a hook I'm screwed. :(

I picked up one of those Daiwa BG reels from your video. I only fish inshore so I grabbed a 3000. I really do like it. Damn smooth reel. If they made it a bit lighter it would be a Stradic killer.

Lay horizontal And will kill the sickness That’s all

Scopolamine patches right under the ear lob in the soft spot. Works perfect because I get very sick on a child’s swing.💯

I thought I didn't get sea sick until I started my job which involves working on buoys at sea. They have a rotten motion some times. I'll try this.

He is absolutely correct, start it the night before. This method is almost 100 percent effective. I've actually never seen someone get seasick that took dramamine the correct way, but I'm sure its happened.

Has anyone been seasick to the point that they’ve seen the sky swirl into itself? I have.

I took the non drowsy when I went on a cruise and it helped a lot.

Another thing is take a bag of limes and a salt shaker of pink salt, cut open the lime and put pink salt on it and eat it. Salors used to take citrus fruits on long voyages to get rid of sea sickness and scurvy.

I use Bonine I take one before bed and 1 when I wake up. It changed the game for me. I've thrown up on so many party boats but haven't since I started the Bonine I've been fine

I used dramamine for years to go to sleep at night. harmless. now i use, benadral

Nope. Scopolamine Transdermal Patch. You’re welcome. Ive been on dive boats most of my life. Most trips, like 98%, I got sick. The condition of the ocean didnt matter. I just got sick. But, I lived diving so much, I still always went on the boats. None of that stuff worked for me. Yes, I started taking Dramamine and others, the day before🤷‍♂️. Then came Scopolamine Transdermal Patch. Its by prescription in the US🙄. Canada its not. Every time I use the patch, I do not get sick and it could be very rough seas. Try it.

I knew a guy that would get sea sick, no matter what... The only way was to just go out there, embrace it until he noticed that after each trip, he would be better.. He is no longer seasick!

I had taken sea sickness tabs the night before and in the morning went out on a fishing game boat the waves were about 15 20 feet high huge swell i was holding onto the rail for over two hours being sick because they had 15 other people fishing who also paid so they could not just take me back to shore but when the boat was moving again i stopped vomiting and i had such a headache like never before .

I get sick everytime I've went deep sea total of 3 times. I pit the patch on bit like rite when I went out. Man I would love to enjoy myself

Acupuncture Seeds are Brilliant.

Thanks for that, you know, with Scopolamine, I give the same advise, take it the night before. AND, you KNOW it is working, if in the morning, you have serious "dry mouth", when your mouth feels like cotton balls are in there--which doesn't feel great I admit, but then, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SICK. But here is the difference, Scopolamine is expensive and prescription while dramamine is cheap and over the counter. I will try your recommendation cause it's better to have a non prescription and inexpensive product, again, thanks for the tip.

FOR WHALE WATCHING I RATHER GO TO WALMART AND BELIEVE ME I DONT GET SICK

I took Bonine the night prior and had a difficult time waking up even though i slept 8 hours. I didn't have any nausea but i did experience dizziness on the boat.

Me and my buddy took Dramamine two hours before the night charter, and let me tell ya, my buddy almost died that night, and was vomiting for 48hours. Gotta try the technique of taking it the day before

RELIEF BAND 2.0

I get land sickness when I get back from a overnighted. Feels like I am drunk.

I personally don’t get seasick, live on a yacht for 12 years and crossed many seas halfway across the globe… nothing… but hoping to find a solution for my wife who’s getting super ill from small movements ( not the big waves) we’ll try your tip. As for me… after being at sea eg after a hefty dinghy ride I need to be in calm water for a few hours… before I can go ashore safely. if I ignore that and go to land m??? After a few minutes it hits me hard. I lose my balance whilst nothing moves… ( terrible especially when I try to drive) hence land sickness… step back on the boat… over in seconds. And obviously since I know it I wait a few hours before I drive. My personal favourite remedy for sick guests is still pickels.. because you can take them when sick.. but it’s not for everyone

One natural way to get to total recuperating is lay down in the top part of the boat and wait there till you get to shore .

I I drank for my first time on the boat while I was fishing and by the time I got back on solid land I threw up the alcohol fell asleep for about an hour and then I had boat induced vertigo for the next full two weeks Sunday to Sunday

Dont look down at floor or feet - tying knot up in the air chest height- it helps

i've been so seasick before the only solution was to put a life vest on and jump in the water and hang out!

I have been on boats my entire life, and I am actually awaiting my captains license, and I get seasick sometimes. Mostly if I drink the night before, but, I have had times where I’ve been seasick, even if I didn’t drink. I do not have to take Dramamine every day. I have a Charter so hoping to find a wayto get over this. It’s embarrassing to say that I’m a captain that has seasickness.

Thx for thump nail

I'm ultra prone to any kind of motion sickness and the only thing that's ever worked when I go deep sea fishing (which I love to do) is wearing a "Relief Band" brand of electropulse watch that is much like a t.e.n.s. unit and taking Dramamine the way you say but just the Dramamine is not enough alone for me and I do one at the bed, one at wake up and one when I get on the boat and still get sick without the Relief Band, so if you're like me spend the $150ish dollars for the watch ...i wear it cranked up to five and it does the job if i leave it on high the entire trip.

Anyone try hypnosis? A hypnotherapist told me it will prevent seasickness. I'm going to try it.

Sounds like good advice but Bonine has always worked for me, maybe I'll try the Dramamine next time, it's probably cheaper than the Bonine.

Thanks for the info on this video. What type of glasses were you wearing?

On my first fishing trip in the Bering Sea I was deathly seasick. The Captain told me "drink this pineapple juice. It won't cure seasickness but...it's sweet going down and sweet coming up". With that he laughed and left me to my misery. "Thanks for nothing Cap....&%^*&^%!

Going on my first fishing ocean trip and im scared of getting sick
