Waveney Stardust – Accessible Boat Charters

Waveney Stardust II is a purpose-built day cruiser designed for people in wheelchairs, with walking difficulties or other disabilities which make it difficult to use a standard cruiser. It is bright and well ventilated with large opening windows, opening front doors and an opening roof. There is a fully accessible WC onboard and refreshments can be served on board.

There are no steps to negotiate as the boat includes:

  • a sturdy hydraulic platform lift is at the stern
  • gently sloping ramps
  • wheelchair available for people who experience discomfort on slopes.

A typical cruise may be along the River Waveney between Beccles and Burgh St Peter.

The cruiser can be chartered in the summer season on both the rivers around Beccles and the Southern Broads as well as the Northern Broads and waterways.

Waveney Stardust is a registered charity. It was established to provide safe, subsidised river cruises for the disabled and/or elderly people, including their family and friends – people who would not otherwise be able to access time on the water and the pleasures of the River Waveney and waterways of the the Broads National Park.
