Accessible
Boat Trips
Over the course of summer 2021 and 2022 we ran pilot programmes of accessible boat trips in Mada Chuain. They were a huge success - feedback from the passengers, carers, family, friends and community as a whole has been massively positive and we have a long (and growing!) waiting list for more in future.
Ullapool is a fishing village, deeply rooted in the life of the sea. Many community members have fascinating stories to tell, and valuable experience to share...and yet are seldom able to access the marine environment at all due to barriers that range from logistical and practical, to financial, physical and more. We've been working to overcome those obstacles and make it possible for everyone, regardless of age or ability, to spend time enjoying our amazing local marine environment, in the company of others who love it too!
