Not me, my wife. And yes it is extreme. In fact she gets motion sickness when a car or motorcycle passenger. (Not affected when actually driving/riding).
A gentle swell can kick here off, it was somewhat amusing though that she agreed to do the Navimag later in our trip (I think it was the lesser of two evils, Ruta 40 or seasickness). Fortunately while in Santiago we stayed with an anaesthetist who was able to prescribe some anti-sickness medication (used for chemo therapy). This removed the being sick, but kept a lot of the other feelings, she slept on the floor during our night in the Pacific.
Also bear in mind that some people cannot swim, have a fear of water etc. Each to his own for the reasons to take the routes and options available.
