Venue Description

Wetwheels is a custom-built, fully-accessible motor boat. Each year, we help hundreds of people of all ages overcome the disadvantages of their disability by enriching their lives. We do this by providing fun and adventurous experiences afloat within a specialist and motivational environment. In so doing, we help to improve aspirations and increase confidence. You don't just come for a ride on Wetwheels, you become one of the crew.

Accessibility

We are based at Gunwharf Quays Marina, Gunwharf, Portsmouth. Access to the marina if through a pass code key pad so visitors will be escorted down onto the pontoons via a wide ramp which does get slightly more steep when the tide is out but is still fully accessible to all visitors including wheelchair users. Once down onto the pontoons, lifejackets will be fitted to all visitors/passengers and then they will be escorted to the boat. Access to the boat is via a ramp through a side door.

Toilets

There are disabled facilities in all 3 of the toilet blocks within Gunwharf Quays. There is a hoist in at least one of the disabled facilities.

Staff

All our staff and crew have been trained in Disability Awareness within a marine environment.
