Your Dream Journey with Pets: The Ultimate Guide to Sailing with Pets in Europe

Bearing the company of your pet during your maritime adventures can indeed enhance your cruising experience. Thankfully, there’s no need to fret about kennel or cattery costs when you can have your four-legged companion onboard with you. Not to mention, they also make for generous companions during your walks on land.

The regulations around voyaging with pets though are relatively convoluted. The good news is, if you’re sailing within the British Isles, between the mainland, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands or if you’re starting from Northern Ireland, there are no pet-related travel documents or health prerequisites. You’re also not restricted to using specific routes or ports and can bring along your pet when cruising on your private boat.
