I've fished commercially most of my life, not to mention dive boats, so I've seen my share of people getting seasick (including myself when I was younger). As was already mentioned, stay away from coffee and citrus fruit. Also, try to stay away from grease, butter and oils, etc. These will also upset an already queasy stomach. Try eating breads and cereals before a trip. Try to stay on deck in the fresh air if you're feeling under the weather and focus on something stationary on land or if out of sight of land, the horizon (don't watch the waves). Dramamine and Bonamine work for most people, Bonamine is used by the Canadian Navy for those who are prone to seasickness and I've never met anyone who it didn't work for.
If all else fails, remember these words of wisdom:
Lord Nelson knew the perfect way to cure your mal de mer,
And if you pay attention, hi secret I will share.
To any seasick sailor he'd give this advice for free:
If you're feeling seasick, sit underneath a tree.
Cheers,
Al.
