Sailing across pristine waters and waking up to remote island vistas is a dream for many, but health and wellness should never take a back seat while adventuring at sea. Whether diving in Raja Ampat or cruising Komodo’s dramatic coastlines, knowing how to stay healthy on long liveaboard voyages is key to fully enjoying the journey. Aboard Anne Bonny Liveaboard, health, safety, and comfort are top priorities, allowing guests to explore with peace of mind.

From food safety and water filtration to seasickness prevention and first aid access, here’s your guide to staying well on your next extended liveaboard adventure.

1. Fresh, Safe & Nourishing Meals Onboard

Nutrition plays a major role in energy levels and well-being during long voyages. On Anne Bonny Liveaboard, meals are carefully crafted using fresh, local ingredients prepared in a hygienic onboard kitchen. The culinary team follows strict food safety protocols, including temperature-controlled storage, proper handling of seafood, and regular sanitation.

Personalised meal planning also accommodates guests with dietary restrictions or allergies. This ensures the safety and keeps guests feeling their best during days filled with diving, snorkeling, and exploration.

Pro Tip: Avoid over-indulging in unfamiliar foods, especially in tropical climates. Stick to well-cooked meals and stay hydrated to support digestion and energy.

2. Safe Drinking Water: Why Filtration Matters

Hydration is essential at sea, especially under the sun. However, drinking untreated water can lead to gastrointestinal issues that spoil your trip. Anne Bonny features a high-quality water filtration and purification system, ensuring safe drinking and cooking water.

Each cabin has refillable bottles to minimise plastic waste and encourage regular hydration. Clean, filtered water is also used to wash fruits and vegetables, providing extra peace of mind.

Pro Tip: Carry electrolyte tablets or packets for hydration after extended activity or dives.

3. Seasickness Prevention: Sailing Smoothly

Even the most seasoned sailors can feel queasy in rolling seas. To help guests stay comfortable, Anne Bonny offers seasickness support from day one. The yacht’s design includes stabilising features that reduce motion. Crew members also provide ginger tea, crackers, and over-the-counter medication upon request.

Cabins are well-ventilated and kept cool, helping guests feel steady and refreshed. If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s a good idea to take medication before boarding and choose a lower-deck cabin where movement is less noticeable.

Pro Tip: Avoid staring at screens or reading while sailing. Instead, keep your eyes on the horizon or lie flat if symptoms appear.

4. Onboard First Aid & Medical Preparedness

Remote island cruising means limited access to healthcare facilities, so reliable first aid access onboard is non-negotiable. The crew aboard Anne Bonny Liveaboard is trained in first aid and emergency response, with a fully stocked medical kit available at all times.

Whether it’s a minor cut, sunburn, or a diving-related concern, immediate care is available. Oxygen tanks are also onboard—critical for dive safety—and emergency evacuation protocols are in place if needed.

Guests are encouraged to bring personal medications and notify the crew of any pre-existing conditions so they can be better assisted during the trip.

Pro Tip: Pack a small personal health kit with essentials like antihistamines, seasickness tablets, pain relief, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

5. Healthy Habits While Onboard

Long days in the sun, salty air, and changing sleep patterns can impact your body. To stay in top shape during your liveaboard voyage:

  • Wear SPF 50+ sunscreen and reapply often
  • Rinse off after swimming to avoid skin irritation
  • Get enough rest, especially after dive days
  • Stretch or move your body in the morning to prevent stiffness
  • Limit alcohol and stay hydrated

Anne Bonny offers a relaxed, wellness-friendly environment, making it easier for guests to balance exploration and self-care.
