This is the ultimate guide for sailing with dogs!
How to Sail with Dogs: 100 Tips for a Pet-Friendly Voyage is the ultimate guide for adventurers who want to share the freedom of the sea with their furry companions. Drawing on Michelle Segrest's exhilarating real-world experiences-sailing over 9,400 nautical miles with her two beagles, Cap'n Jack and Scout, across four continents-the book blends practical know-how with heartwarming storytelling.
Why This Book Stands Out:
- Expert guidance from real-world experiences: Practical advice based on long-distance cruising across the Baltic, North Sea, Atlantic coasts of Europe, Africa, Brazil, and more.
- Comprehensive 100-tip format: Covers everything from potty training onboard using artificial grass mats and safety protocols, to international customs, extreme temperatures, first aid, and routine-building.
- Chapters rich in detail and visuals: Including "Pet-Friendly Boats," "The Great Potty Experiment," "First-Aid Kit for Dogs," "Dangerous People Foods," plus a Survival Kit bonus.
- Unfiltered and honest: Real talk about the challenges-"the downside"-as well as the joys, with candid reflections and safety-first mindset.

Michelle Segrest has been a professional journalist for four decades. She is the president of Navigate Content, Inc., a full-service content creation firm, and works hard for her clients even while sailing the world. Michelle is a proud Southern girl from Sweet Home Alabama. She sailed for the first time with a longtime friend in Hamburg, Germany in 2013 and was immediately hooked. Sailing became a part of her soul as this journalist found a passion that would burn deeply within her forever. She still delights in researching and learning the finer details of sailing. In 2018, she embarked on a year-long sailing adventure with her two beagles, Cap'n Jack & Scout. The voyage included an Atlantic Crossing with passages across the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the English Channel, the Bay of Biscay, around the Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal, around the western coast of Africa and across the Atlantic to Brazil and then up the South American coast. She chronicles her adventures in her best-selling memoir, Living Life Sideways: A True Story of Heart-Pounding Adventure and Heart-Wrenching Survival.
