ABOUT THE EVENT:
Ahoy, mateys! Grab your eye patches, strap on your pup’s pirate bandana, and join us as we hoist the anchor for a Golden Dog-exclusive cruise that’s part adventure, part costume party, and all tail-wagging fun.
In celebration of International Pirate Month, we’re throwing a swashbuckling Pirate Costume Contest for both humans and their salty sea dogs.
Prizes will be awarded for the Best Costumed Human and also the Best Dressed Dog — first, second, and third place for each category. (NOTE: please do not make your dog wear a costume if they are not comfortable with this.)
Our panel of judges? None other than the spirited crew of the Northern Star and your trusty Golden Dog Adventure Guides.
THE CRUISE DETAILS
Step aboard the Northern Star, Al Gauron’s largest and most spacious 90-foot vessel, for a private 2-hour voyage along the scenic Merrimack River and harbor.
This isn’t your average boat ride—it’s the only dog-friendly cruise offered by Al Gauron, reserved just for our community.
Whether your dog is a seasoned sailor or you’re joining solo for a breath of fresh sea air, you’re in for an evening of unforgettable sights, stories, and smiles.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS SEAWORTHY ADVENTURE
🏴☠️ Paw-rates Welcome: Dogs can enjoy the ocean breeze, explore the paw-friendly deck, and mingle with fellow furry first mates.
🏴☠️ Grub and Grog: Bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic drinks (no glass bottles), or purchase hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks, and snacks from the onboard galley. A cash bar will also be available.
🏴☠️ Wildlife Watching: Keep your eyes peeled for whales, seabirds, and other ocean dwellers.
🏴☠️ A Friendly Crew: Whether you bring a pup or not, you’ll be among a crew of dog lovers who appreciate one-of-a-kind adventures.
🏴☠️ Spacious and Relaxed: With plenty of room to stretch out and no public crowds, you can unwind and take in the sights stress-free.
If your dog isn’t comfortable in this environment, you're still welcome to join the fun and enjoy the cruise with our community.
