What this video covers

Cruising with a dog in the Caribbean requires significant effort to locate accessible beaches, as many shorelines—particularly in French territories—prohibit pets.0:49 While Martinique enforces strict no-dog policies on nearly all beaches, Guadeloupe offers more flexibility, though owners often need a rental car to reach suitable, less-populated areas.13:44 The crew of SV Cordelia, a Venus-class yacht, successfully visited six beaches in Guadeloupe without being asked to leave, though they kept their dog on a lead whenever other people were present.14:20 They note that Grenada remains one of the most pet-friendly islands in the region.14:52 Beyond pet logistics, the crew discusses the challenges of maintaining a cruising schedule while managing family obligations, specifically the necessity of splitting up to handle boat logistics and holiday travel.17:17 They plan to transit from Guadeloupe to St. Martin to collect duty-free boat parts and prepare for upcoming seasonal passages.18:29
