Access to Adventure is a charitable trust opening the ocean to those with accessible needs, chronic health condition or mental health challenges.
Through a fully accessible boat, we create transformative moments – fishing, diving, kayaking and more – reigniting joy, freedom, and a deep sense of belonging in nature for those who’ve long been denied the opportunity.
Our mission is to provide year-round access to the ocean for individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities, empowering them to experience freedom, connection, and joy through tailored marine adventures. This isn’t just a service – it’s a movement to restore dignity, inclusion, and adventure to the lives of those too often left on the shore.
