Why Booking Summer Boarding Early Matters
Summer travel is one of the great pleasures of life on Long Island, and boarding capacity gets squeezed every year. By the time the school year ends, the most-requested suites are usually spoken for through August. The earlier you book, the more options you have — and the less stress you carry into the season.
Why summer fills up so fast
Summer brings a wave of vacations, weddings, holiday weekends, and Hamptons getaways. Families who book the same weeks every year lock in early, and that's most of our calendar before walk-up requests start coming in.
What you get by booking early
- First pick of suite type — Express, Classic, XL, or Luxury
- Better flexibility on drop-off and pickup windows
- Time to plan add-ons like grooming and enrichment
- No frantic last-minute calls when plans firm up
Especially around holiday weekends
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day all create demand spikes. If you've got plans those weekends, book as soon as you have dates — even if the rest of your travel isn't finalized.
How to lock it in
Call us or use the online portal. We're happy to walk you through suite options and any add-ons. If your plans change, we'll work with you — but starting early is always easier than starting late.
