Additional information
Warning: To board, you must climb two steps (or be lifted—not recommended by Kéroul). Only people in manual wheelchairs can be lifted. It is essential to mention your needs
when booking your cruise.
To access the boat, you must use a stone access path with a 12% slope, then cross a walkway equipped with handrails and curbs, with a 7% slope. At the end of the walkway, a steeply sloped ramp (17%) leads to the floating dock, which does not have a curb.
On the boat, there is adequate room to maneuver on the deck without seats. However, this area is not covered, unlike the seating area. It is therefore not recommended for wheelchair users to take the cruise if rain is forecast.
