DOG FRIENDLY BOAT TRIPS - FALMOUTH, CORNWALL
If you'd like to get out on the water on your own private skippered speed boat and don't want to leave your four-legged friend ashore, then we're more than happy to oblige! Dogs are welcome on board Carmen Rose, and in case you don't have your own, we carry a range of doggie life jackets.
This really is an unforgettable boat trip for the whole family to enjoy and your pet dog will love it too. The sights, scents, sounds and the feeling of the wind on their ears will have their tail wagging in no time. I've taken out dozens of dogs out with their owners on their boat tours over the last few years and, whilst most are hesitant getting on to start with, once underway and settled they have all without fail had a great time. Just like their owners!
Your dogs safety on the boat
As the swim platform is level with the pontoon we leave from, it's just a very small step on board (although most owners end up lifting their pet into the cockpit as it can be a bit daunting to start with) and once in the cockpit, a gate is safely secured to keep dogs inside.
The boat is safe for well behaved dogs to roam around on as there are high rails around the cockpit area, and more confident pets are welcome to go onto the bow area when wearing a lead. Some owners have even brought their dogs soft baskets along with them to relax in, but they'll probably be more than happy sat up on the cushions with you!
Your private dog-friendly boat tour
Our boat tours generally leave from Mylor Yacht Harbour, near Falmouth, Cornwall (although other pick up points can possibly be arranged), and last from an hour-and-a-half to a full-day. If you opt for a longer trip, we can stop off along the way to give your dog/s a chance to have a break and stretch their legs, and they're more than welcome to have a swim too if they need to cool down.

We'll be taking in loads of interesting sights, some incredibly stunning scenery, and hopefully plenty of wildlife. Have a look at our home page to get a better idea of what our boat trips might include.
