OUR NARROWBOATS have been built to our specific requirements to provide amenities suitable for the needs of disabled users. Each boat carries a maximum of 12 passengers and is crewed by trained and D.B.S accredited WCNT volunteers.
Please NOTE there is a strict limit on the number of wheelchairs that can be safely carried on the boats, when the user is confined to the wheelchair. When passengers require folding wheelchair use to access the boats, but can then transfer to on-board seating the higher limits indicated below apply.
