Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Skellig Boat Tour, we are committed to ensuring our maritime passenger transport services are accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to all passengers, including those with reduced mobility. Guided by best practice and compliance with local, national, and EU accessibility regulations, we strive to provide an experience that meets the diverse needs of our passengers.

Accessibility Measures

  1. Accessible vessel design: Our vessels are designed and maintained to enhance accessibility, featuring amenities such as accessible seating, handrails, and a door at the back of the boat for ease of boarding and disembarking for passengers with mobility challenges.
  2. Customer support and staff training: Our team is trained in disability equality and inclusive communication, ensuring passengers feel supported and valued. Crew members are available to provide assistance and address individual needs throughout the journey.
  3. Clear and inclusive information: We provide clear, accessible information about our services through our booking office and online platforms, allowing passengers to plan their journey with ease and confidence.
  4. Emergency and disruption procedures: We have plans in place to support the safety and wellbeing of all passengers during emergencies or disruptions. Our crew are trained to prioritise the needs of passengers with reduced mobility during evacuations or unexpected situations.
  5. Minimising barriers: We regularly review our vessels and operations to identify and reduce barriers to accessibility, supporting continuous improvement in line with evolving best practice.

Accessibility Compliance

We are committed to meeting current and future accessibility regulations. In line with the EU Accessibility Directive (EU) 2019/882, applicable from June 2025, we are actively reviewing and enhancing our services to support compliance and provide an inclusive experience for all passengers.
