We love dogs—so much, in fact, that we own two of them. Big ones too. When I’m out testing boats, it’s always great to have company, so I often take Polo or Marco (or sometimes both!) with me.
Many of our customers also love to take their dogs out on their True Kits. Whether it’s having the family pet with you on a holiday cruise or bringing the hunting dog along for a duck shoot, it’s important that the boat is suitable for the dog.
The landing craft bow of the Discovery is particularly popular for boaties with dogs. Both on the beach and out on the water, the Discovery bow is the easiest of all inflatables for dogs to get on and off.
Even our Navigators are great for dogs, and the stability really helps.
The Growing Trend of Boating with Dogs
Boating with dogs is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. Dogs are great companions and love the adventure and fresh air that boating provides. However, not all boats are designed with pets in mind. As we are dog lovers and owners, True Kit Boats understands the unique needs of pet owners and has developed a range of inflatable dinghies that cater specifically to dogs.
Easy Boarding with the Landing Craft Bow Design
One of the standout features of the True Kit Discovery is its landing craft bow design. This innovative feature makes it incredibly easy for pets to get on and off the dinghy, whether they are on land or in the water. The low, wide bow provides a stable platform that dogs can easily walk onto, reducing the risk of injury and making boarding a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
Durable and Pet-Proof Valmex Material
Durability is a key consideration for any pet owner looking for an inflatable dinghy. Dogs can be rough on equipment, and their claws can easily puncture inferior materials. True Kit Boats are made from high-quality Valmex material, which is renowned for its strength and resistance to wear and tear. This means you don’t have to worry about your dog’s claws damaging the dinghy, allowing you to enjoy your boating adventures without concern.
The floors of True Kit inflatables are covered with a tough layer of fabric called Valmex® Skid-Proof. This extra layer not only gives extra grip underfoot, but it also gives an extra layer of abrasion-resistance from the dogs claws. There are also plenty of d-rings if you want to clip your dog to the boat.

Benefits of Boating with Dogs
For dog lovers, bringing their furry friends along can make a simple boating trip into an exciting adventure filled with companionship and joy. Dogs provide an added layer of fun and entertainment, making every moment on the water more enjoyable. But it is also great for your dogs, allowing them to spend time outdoors, in the fresh air, open water, and with new smells that provide great mental and physical stimulation for them.
Here are some key benefits of boating with dogs:
- Enhanced Companionship: Dogs are loyal companions who bring joy and reduce stress. Having them on board makes the trip more enjoyable.
- Physical Exercise: Boating offers dogs the chance to swim, run on the shore, and explore new areas, providing excellent exercise.
- Mental Stimulation: The new sights, sounds, and smells of a boating environment keep dogs mentally stimulated and engaged.
- Safety and Security: Dogs can serve as alert companions, notifying their owners of any unusual activity or potential hazards on the water.
- Bonding Time: Boating trips provide valuable one-on-one time, strengthening the bond between pets and their owners.
Whether it’s a peaceful day of fishing, a thrilling exploration of new waters, or simply relaxing on the deck, having a dog on board makes every boating trip more special.
