Yes, you can bring your dog on the boat trip to Gorriti Island<\/a>. Since the boat is private, it is just for your group, so there is no problem bringing your pet on board. It is an ideal option if you want to enjoy a day on the water without leaving your dog at home, and many families do it during the season.<\/p>\n

Gorriti Island is a few minutes from the Port of Punta del Este, opposite Playa Mansa, and it is the perfect place to anchor, swim from the boat, sunbathe and spend the day with music and food on board. The trip can be from two hours up to a full day, and since it is private, you can plan it your way and with whoever you want, including your dog.<\/p>\n

What to keep in mind when bringing your dog on the boat<\/h2>\n

The most important thing is that your dog is comfortable with water and with the movement of the boat. If it has never been on a boat, it is best to choose a day with a calm sea and a short trip to see how it reacts. Gorriti Island is ideal for this because the sail only takes a few minutes and the water is usually calm at the anchorage.<\/p>\n

It is also key that your dog is used to being around people and does not get stressed in new places. Remember to bring fresh water for it to drink during the day, some food if it is a long trip, and towels to dry it off after a swim. Some dogs happily jump into the water from the boat, while others prefer to stay on deck sunbathing with the rest of the group.<\/p>\n

If your dog is large and very energetic, let us know when you book so we can suggest the boat that suits you best. There are options with more deck space and shade, which help keep both the dog and the group comfortable and relaxed.<\/p>\n

What does the Gorriti Island trip with your dog include?<\/h2>\n

The boat is private with a captain, so you and your group have the whole boat to yourselves. The captain handles the sailing, anchors at the right spot and makes sure everything goes well. All you have to do is enjoy the day with your family, friends and dog.<\/p>\n

The trip includes life jackets for everyone and, depending on the boat, there may be a grill on board for a barbecue, a paddle board and inflatables. You can bring your own food and drinks or, if you prefer, add finger-food catering. The idea is to plan the day however you like: music, food, swimming and, if your dog is up for it, a dip for it too.<\/p>\n
