Sailing has long been seen as a symbol of freedom and adventure, but for people with disabilities, this experience has often felt out of reach. Today, SamBoat is committed to making boating accessible and achievable for everyone, including those with disabilities.
Our Tips:
Carefully review the boat and its photos to assess access points and how to board the vessel.
Choose accessible destinations. Fortunately, many coastal resorts have significantly improved their accessibility, allowing everyone to fully enjoy their stay—on land and at sea. For a successful experience, it's essential to research accessible marinas, facilities, and attractions in the chosen sailing area. With SamBoat, for example, you can easily rent a boat in Spain or Croatia.
Plan ahead: Organizations and groups specializing in accessible sailing provide valuable support and resources, making it easier to connect sailing enthusiasts with disabilities, rental companies, and experienced sailors. This community shows how sharing experiences and knowledge can open new opportunities and help overcome barriers.
