Criteria for Accessible Charter Boat Services
Criteria that we consider for accessible charter boat services include the following:
- Accessible restrooms at the port of the charter service
- Easy access for a wheelchair limited (or other physically disabled) person to board the charter boat
- Secure accommodations for the physically disabled person on the vessel, and a secure method for the individual to fish from the deck of the boat. By secure, we mean either secure placement of the wheelchair or a secure deck chair.
- Accommodations on the vessel for protection during inclement weather
- Head (aka bathroom) accommodations on the vessel that can be navigated by a physically disabled person
