Can I take pets on board?
We understand that pets are an important part of your family, and we are happy to accommodate them on our charters. However, we ask that you please contact the Yacht Hampton team by phone or email before your arrival to confirm whether pets are allowed on board.
If permission is not obtained in advance, we may be unable to accommodate your pet, and finding pet care during your time on the water can be challenging. Additionally, for safety reasons, we recommend bringing only one pet on board, especially if they are high-energy.
Most of our vessels are pet-friendly and can accommodate up to one pet, provided that they are well-behaved and calm. Please keep in mind that bringing a pet on board is ultimately at the discretion of the captain, and any damage caused by the pet will be the responsibility of the pet owner.

We want you to have a worry-free and enjoyable experience on the water, so please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any concerns. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ocean breeze, a cocktail, and the company of your friends while we take care of the rest.
