Hovertravel - Pet Booking Information
Note, that to travel with your pet abroad, you will require a Pet Passport.
Pets must be carried in RSPCA approved pet carriers or restrained by a harness/collar and lead whilst on board, and kept on the floor in the passenger area, not on the passenger seats. Owners are also requested to please ensure that their pet does not cause a nuisance to other passengers. Pets can travel free of charge on the hovercraft.
To allow for 'calls of nature', customers are recommended to allow sufficient time to exercise their pet before boarding the hovercraft.
