We travel the Bahamas with our dog, an 85 lb, 6 YO lab. She won't go onboard, no matter what, but I haven't had an issue finding a spot for her. Dogs, unlike humans, can hold it a really long time when needed. Many suburban dogs go 10 hours or more when left at home alone while their owners are at work.

It's not ideal to make them wait that long, but it's better than leaving them at the vet.

There are a few anchorages in the Bahamas without some sort of beach/shoreline, but they can be avoided. We look for spots we can get her to shore when we pick an anchorage.

I like taking her ashore most nights, it's good alone time, just me, my dog and the mosquitoes.
