Seagull Trust Cruises
Seagull Trust Cruises has the largest canal charity fleet in the UK.
The charity is wholly run by unpaid volunteers, that provides free trips on the Scottish Canal netowrk for people with additional needs.
What we do
We provide canal cruises for anyone with additional needs and elderly people.
We offer fully accessible boats suitable for wheelchairs users.
We provide tea/coffee and biscuits.
We are a charity funded solely by donations and grants.
We operate with crews of trained volunteers. Our barges are restricted to a maximum of 12 passengers, including helpers, and the bookings are allocated on a first come first serve basis.
It is the responsibility of the group to ensure that the ratio of helpers (Min 2) to disabled people is adequate.
