🐶 With a dog

Can you take dogs on the boat?

Good news for all dog owners: your dog may come on the boat. To keep the trip relaxed for human and animal, here are a few tips.

Dogs are welcome with us

You can take your dog on the boat, so nothing stands in the way of a shared loop across the water. Especially for dogs that love being outdoors, a boat trip like this is a lovely experience.

Which boat suits with a dog?

Most relaxed is a stable boat where the dog can lie or sit safely. A canoe or a large pedal boat offers good room for that, so your dog does not have to balance and can enjoy the ride.

What to think of for the dog

  • Water and a bowl for the dog, especially on hot days.
  • A towel, wet paws and wet fur are pretty much part of the plan.
  • Better choose calm weather: with a lot of wind and waves it gets uncomfortable for the dog too.
  • If your dog isn't used to water, get it used to the boat briefly on land first and start calmly.
