You have to go down around 4-5 steps to get onto the boat. Wheelchair users can be wheeled right up to the boat entrance and you must be able to get down and up the steps. The staff will do everything they can to help you getting on and off they where brilliant with my wife. Are wheelchair was left and looked after by a member of staff whilst we were on the trip. Once at the bottom of the steps on the boat there are seats that can be reserved for you. Best to ring the office up they are really helpful.
