We’ll keep this between us…🤫

The forecast is shaping up beautifully for the Bank Holiday weekend and the start of half term (thank you, BBC Weather).

If you’ve not made plans yet, enjoy 15% off any charter from 22 May – 1 June with code SUNSHINE15.

And when you arrive, don’t be surprised if a certain black‑and‑tan miniature dachshund is stretched out on the pontoons, 'supervising operations'. 🐾

Shackle's Ships is the UK's leading boat share syndicate where you can purchase a 25% timeshare of a specific boat.

🚤Bank Holiday Sunday saw Shackle and Bulkhead hop aboard Verity II for a night away in Bembridge.

From being chief lookout, making new friends around the marina, to a good run on the beach, it’s safe to say adventures are always better when everyone can come along.

Where should Shackle head off to next? Any favourite spots along the South Coast you’d love to see her explore? 🐾

At Shackle’s Ships, it’s no secret… we LOVE dogs. Our logo gives it away, and so does our namesake — Shackle, our miniature dachshund who treats the marina as her personal kingdom. She’s always on patrol around the boats, while her sister Bulkhead prefers to supervise from a sun pad, pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

If you’re looking for an adventure that includes every member of the family, our pet‑friendly boats are ready to set sail. Whether it’s a wander over to Yarmouth or a bigger adventure to Brixham, your furry first mate is welcome aboard.

All we ask is that you send us photos of your four‑legged crew having the time of their lives — we absolutely melt over them in the office. 🐾
