So pets can't go in motorboats/boats?
I just made myself a second house on an island, a little home away from home. I purchased a boat, but they all took the taxi boat to the island (including the dog) and I thought hmm well it's weird...

Yeah! This is what happened to me too. Kinda odd, tbh - that they didn't let pets (dogs and cats atleast) sit in the motorboats/sailboats etc? I get that they cant get in and out of the water by swimming (another weird thing but ok, fair enough) - but they could just teleport. Especially since they apparently can use the watertaxi? Make it make sense, lol.
I figured a work around was to make a tiny houseboat as a "main vessel" between mainland and and island. And use the motorboats etc for "fun" around the ocean.
In the houseboat, you can have your pets join you.
The next issue I ran into was that the houseboat moor needs SO much space that I couldn't figure out a way to get a port placed on that teeny island. And apparently you couldn't have a houseboat port on a residential lot, so I tried making a port next to the island home, and even though I somehow managed to get the port to fit, they wouldn't go to the port.
Also, for some reason, when I put a port up on the island...people showed up on that lot, like, wanting to just hang around there. I dont get why a port isnt also sort of "no visitors allowed" since it's a private port. God this expansion is really finicky.
I tried just parking the houseboat near the lot of the island home, which resulted in a taxiboat coming to pick up the dog so it could get to the island......a few feet away. (instead of just magically teleporting of course). While the other used motorboats.
It's just so frustrating. The only way to transport pets across the ocean is apparently by a taxiboat or a houseboat. And the houseboat is SO finicky to get moored, while the taxiboat is so useless, considering the fact that you could do that stuff yourself.
