Disability and Community Boating Activities

 

The mooring is at the Harlow Outdoor Centre near Harlow Town Station.

 

Most of our boats have been designed or adapted to allow access for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility. 

Stort Challenger and Stort Daybreak have wheelchair access to all parts of the boat, via one or more wheelchair lifts.

 

Most areas on Red Watch and Dawn Trader are accessible but see individual boat descriptions available from our website for further details www.canalboat.co.uk

 

Whether you want to relax and get away from it all, or get involved in the operation of the boat, a Canal Boat Project trip will have something for you.

 

Either sit back and watch the river quietly drift by, or have a chat with other boaters and anglers as you pass by, on the tranquil and picturesque rivers of the Stort and Lee. For the more active, why not have a go at steering the boat and operating the locks? Its not difficult and some of our craft are specially adapted to allow those with limited mobility to control the boat, by joystick.

 

Hirer’s Information

Hiring our boats is easy.  Our friendly team are at the end of the phone and are happy to discuss your requirements, assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate boat.

 

Remember, our boats are not only available to formal groups from Care homes, hospices, support groups, schools etc, but are also available to informal groups of families and friends that include someone with a disability.
