Accessibility details
Due to the design of our traditional heritage vessels, the 45-minute taster sails are unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair users. Please also note that, as a working boatyard, some areas of the site may be narrow or uneven and may pose challenges for wheelchair access. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to assist wherever possible.
