A boat day isn’t just for adults — kids and pets can have just as much fun on the water. With a few extra steps, you can make the trip safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for your whole crew, furry friends included.
Beginner Tip: Life Jackets Always On
For kids and pets, safety comes first. Life jackets should always be worn when the boat is underway or when swimming. We provide properly sized vests for children, and there are even pet-specific life jackets available if you’d like to bring your pup along.
Intermediate Tip: Pack Snacks & Shaded Rest Time
Kids and pets both need breaks. Bring plenty of snacks, fresh water, and a shaded spot for resting during the heat of the day. A canopy, umbrella, or towel fort goes a long way to keep everyone cool and happy.
Pro Tip: Choose Calm-Water Anchorages for Them
Experienced boaters know the key is location. Pick calm-water anchorages away from heavy traffic and wakes. This gives kids a safe place to swim and pets a stable, comfortable boat to relax on.
