Seagull Trust Cruises (Highland Branch)

Canal cruises for people with special needs and their families

Location:

Caledonian Canal

Description:

Cruising takes place from April to September each year with the “Highland Seagull” being manned from a pool of unpaid volunteers, many of whom are competent skippers. Two trips per day are available, at 10.30 and 14.00 hours Monday to Friday, with each trip lasting about two hours and tea, coffee, juice and biscuits are provided free. Passengers embark and disembark at the Trust’s Twin Jetties on the seaward side of Tomnahurich Bridge.

The “Highland Seagull” is fitted with a  wheelchair lift which allows passengers access from the main deck into the passenger cabin and up from the cabin into the wheelhouse, where they can experience steering the boat if they so desire. It is equipped with life-saving appliances and fire fighting equipment to Department of Transport standards and is at all times in radio contact with International and British Waterways frequencies. They are in contact by V.H.F. radio for help, if required. Most helpers and crew carry a mobile phone. In common with all the other Seagull Trust Cruises Canal Boats can carry a maximum of 12 passengers of whom up to 4 may be wheelchair users.
