Everything we do here at Trevassack is accessible to all, so if you or a loved one need a helping hand with your mobility to get out on the water, or for those more severely limited, we have lots of safe and fun options available.
Our staff are experienced with SEND needs and our adapted craft are accessible via pontoon hoists. Or wheelchair-users are welcome to ride on Floaty, our fully accessible, solar-powered platform boat.
