6. Health:
o The charterer should ensure that if guests are on any prescribed medication, they must seek medical advice regarding suitable sea sickness treatments and any problems that sea sickness may cause to their medication program. It is your duty to advise us of any change to your guests’ medical fitness prior to sailing. You must advise the skipper of any guests’ on-going medication at the start of the charter.
