Absolutely! We took them out at a very early age, between 8 & 10 weeks, to get them acclimated. They sleep on deck when it's not too hot, otherwise they go into the cuddy. We don't take them out on the boat much during the day in the summertime, though, as it's just way too hot. And when it's really blowing hard I leave them at home - they don't care for the bouncing and pounding action. The older one has figured that out, though. When we're really hauling he goes to the stern where it's the most stable.

The best is when we stop to see dolphin (the mammal variety). Both dogs stand with their front paws on the gunwales, leaning over the side. The dolphin will stick their heads up and I swear they're looking at the dogs, who are looking back at them. The dogs get REALLY excited about that! At anchor or puttin' along, they will sit and look out at the water, eyes and ears at attention, looking for dolphin. 8)
