Access to Alaska

Access from the pontoon involves a gap of some 6 inches and stepping over an 11 inch threshold. There are railings either side to hold onto and we have crew to assist. We can also heel the boat so one steps down rather than up if appropriate. We regularly embark elderly and infirm passengers. There is seating on the boiler casing immediately on boarding. There is further seating in the well deck which is accessed via 2 steps with deep treads and a non slip surface and hand holds to either side.
