Rare Essiesmom Posted October 2, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Very accessible. You can roll right on. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickila Posted October 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The ferries are catamaran types, going up or down by weight. Mobility scooters sometimes have to use a put down ramp if weight is not right. Thius you could have a step up or down at times, but moderate. There are lines for the ferries at the Dockyard. . In Hamilton there are benches for waiting. Hamilton is shopping mostly, paved sidewalks. Ride over is 20 minutes, generally smooth and pretty.

xxoocruiser Posted October 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Just booked on Norwegian Dawn next May 16 Boston-Bermuda. Interested how accessible the water bus from Dock Yard to Hamilton is for someone using a cane or walker. The day I used it the boat did not have a roll on ramp. However the crew lifted my scooter onto the boat and they assisted me onto the ferry. They were exceptional ! I understand that this was a rare exception as the boat generally used has an accessible ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted October 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I was docked in Hamilton so didn't use the ferry, but we did hire a guide who put my travel scoot into his trunk and I was able to get all around. I believe, IIRC, that the beach had a beach wheel chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriciaR1970 Posted October 14, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Will be no problem at all! Some of the restaurants and shops will be a challenge for sure but getting on the ferry will be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
