First off, I’m both a dog and catamaran owner. Though I’d enjoy having our therapy dog with us in the BVI it won’t happen. Unless the dog is use to being on a boat it won’t be fun. Most boat owners with dogs have wisely placed netting all around the railings. There’s no way I’d have my dog on our boat without netting. Netting is an option I’ve never known any charter to offer. One other point, dogs have been known to die from salt water, by drinking too much ( mostly by accident)
