Vision
Barrier-free access to blue spaces for everyone
“We all deserve the opportunity to experience the freedom, wellbeing and sense of adventure that being on the water can provide.
When I'm on the water, I am not defined by my disability. I am defined by the independence and adventure that the sea provides.”

"Access to the blue space can be both life-changing for an individual and of significant commercial benefit to an organisation.
Whether a marina or port, commercial shipping company or cruise provider, maritime consultant or architect, the principles of accessibility are central to a thriving maritime sector.
We founded Accessible Oceans to encourage innovative design and a positive culture of change, in what can often be a high-risk environment. "
Neil Wilson, Director
