Pet friendly boats

Pet-friendly boats

For a long period, pets on the boat was taboo. It was unimaginable to get a pet on board since yacht charter has been seen as something exclusive. But the good news is that this has changed.

With the development of the boat charter industry and an increasing number of boats worldwide, today it is common to take your pest on a sailing vacation with you. We have also recognized this trend and have more both bareboat and crewed yachts that are pet friendly and accept pets on board. Normally, there is a fee for it, and you can count on this cost to be around 100 EUR. But it is always good to check conditions in advance.

Summer can be a challenging period for many pets, who may suffer from high temperatures so you as a pet owner, of course, need to take responsibility for your pet when on board. This also includes some actions before your vacation, and it covers the pet being microchipped, vaccinated and in possession of valid travel documents. 

When a pet is on board, their safety and comfort need to become your priorities. So, it’s important to secure a pee pad, enough water for hydration and a nice sun-covered place for pets to settle. It is also a good idea to consider installing a safety net around the deck to reduce the risk of your pet falling into the sea. Also don't forget to plan walks or outdoor activities for your pets during cooler parts of the day.

Bringing your pet on a yacht can be a delightful experience for both you and your pet. The open sea offers a new world of sights, sounds, and smells for your furry companion to explore. By taking the necessary precautions and planning, you can ensure that your pet enjoys the vacation as much as you do.

So next time you plan a sailing vacation, don't hesitate to bring your furry friend along with you —after all, they deserve to enjoy the waves too!
