The charter company built around your dog.
We travel with our dogs, so we built the company we always wished existed — one where the dog is the guest of honour, not an inconvenience to be managed.
Every great trip started with the same problem.
The dog was the reason to go and the reason it was so hard to. Charters that allowed pets only with a deposit and a deep-cleaning fee. Airlines that treated a beloved companion as cargo. Hotels that said yes on the phone and meant it only for the smallest breeds. We spent years working around a system that was never designed for the way people actually travel with their dogs.
So we stopped working around it. Hound brings together dog-first yacht charter, private aviation and travel gear under one standard — vessels chosen for how they treat dogs, crews briefed on your dog by name, and equipment built for the realities of life on the water. The result is simple: you and your dog go together, and it feels effortless.
97% of owners consider their dog family. Yet fewer than 10% of yachts genuinely welcome them.
We studied 200+ yacht charter operators. Most allow pets only with owner approval, a damage deposit, and a deep-cleaning fee. None were built for dogs. So we built one.

The principles behind every journey.
Dog-first, always
Every itinerary, every deck, every cabin begins with one question: is this genuinely good for the dog? Not tolerated. Not permitted. Welcomed.
Verified, never assumed
We charter only vessels and stay only at properties we have vetted ourselves. If we cannot stand behind a detail, we do not put our name to it.
Considered by design
Marine-grade materials, solid brass, washable covers, calming kits. Nothing decorative for its own sake — every object earns its place on the journey.
Quietly luxurious
No fuss, no fanfare. The kind of service that anticipates rather than announces, so you and your dog simply arrive, settle, and enjoy the water.
