Meet Coral, the golden retriever who lives on a boat and adores sailing

An adorable three-year-old pooch loves nothing more than being on (or in) the water.

Coral the golden retriever currently lives on a boat with her owners Hannah Pattern and John Garza.

The couple, from Florida, left their old lives behind and now live on the ocean with their four-legged-friend.

Coral had initially planned to become a service dog – but sadly failed the training due to an eye condition.

Now, instead of working full-time, she’s enjoying life at sea and spends her days swimming and relaxing in the sunshine.

Hannah, the founder of a sustainable swimwear brand, describes her canine as ‘sweet and loving but with attitude and spunk.’

The 24-year-old adds: ‘She puts up with a lot being on the boat, and I think she loves the water more than John and myself.

‘I adopted her at six weeks old and the first time I tried to get her to swim she hated it, but she loved the boat. So I knew it was only a matter of time for her to realise how fun it is.’


The couple love their new life on the water and Coral is pretty thrilled with it too – she even dives in with her owners.

‘People think it’s absolutely nuts that she dives,’ Hannah adds,

‘She honestly just picked it up – that’s the best part.

‘I think she’s watched us dive so much so she’s like I don’t want to be left out.’
