Let’s Sail Away – Pet Cruise x Petfie
It has been more than
three years since I first heard about Singapore’s very own Pet Cruise. As I
have always been yearning to go, I got really excited when I received an invitation
from Petfie. Along with my mum and The Wong Dogs, we headed to Marina Country
Club at Ponggol (Yes, spelt Ponggol)
Skipper, Joe started Pet Cruise in April 2012 and knows the North-Eastern waters very well. In fact,
one of passengers who usually suffers from serious sea sickness found the trip
bearable.
For this trip, I was
joined by Lucy a Cocker Spaniel and Muddy a Singapore Special of The FurryTales. Seeing as how we had a couple of common friends, it was such a treat to
make new ones and allowing The Wong Dogs to interact with other canines.
ANCHORING AT SELETAR
ISLAND
Once we reached, the
four-legged-creatures were allowed to roam off-leash for about half an hour.
Rubbish and pollution aside, I had a great time running up and down the
shoreline with Cory and Cole. We then realised that due to low tide, there was
a stretch of beach that went out towards the sea, making for priceless picture
moment with the boys and their friends.
OPEN WATER SWIM
You know you are in
safe hands when Joe makes a last-minute decision to change the location of the
open-water swim due to choppy waves. No matter how good a swimmer Fido might
be, it is best he or she wear a life vest for extra safety against strong
undercurrents.
It still amazes me
how well Cory and Cole can swim. It is always cute to see their apprehension
before they dive into the water.
Soon, it was time to
head back to Marina Country Club for some lunch. The great people at Petfie generously
catered pizza for us. Thank you!
Prices start at $30
per head (both pet and human) on weekdays and $40 on weekends and public
holidays. The catamaran can take up to 10 passengers, perfect for cosy
gatherings,
Thank you Joe of Pet
Cruise and Petfie for such a memorable experience. I cannot wait to bring Cory
and Cole for their next trip soon. Anyone wants to join me?
