Based at Lerwick Marina.
Sight-seeing and fishing trips year round subject to weather.
We have a boat based in the Lerwick Marina that is able to accomodate wheelchairs and those with mobility issues. We also have a hoist at the marina for wheelchair users. Short sight-seeing or fishing trips around the harbour are available to organisations, families, or individuals. The boat is available all year round subject to weather.
There is no cost to use our boat, but donations to our charity are always welcome.
Anyone needing hoisted onto the boat must bring their own sling. We can only accomdate one wheelchair user on the boat at one time due deck space on the boat. The boat can accomdate a maxium of five people, four people if one of the participants is a wheelchair user.
If you would like more information about The Wootton Lass or would like to accompany passengers as a volunteer, please contact a trustee on 07895406005.
