Welcome Aboard the Mohawk Maiden Accessible

At Mohawk Maiden Cruises, we're committed to making the beauty of the Champlain Canal accessible to everyone. The Mohawk Maiden Accessible is our specially modified pontoon boat, designed to open up the beauty of the water to guests who use wheelchairs.

Pontoons are by nature accessible and easy to board. But to take it a bit further, we removed the furniture from our original pontoon boat, the Mohawk Maiden, replaced it with moveable furniture that can be rearranged or removed to accommodate a wheelchair, and replaced the door with a boarding ramp. Finally, thanks to Justin Smith with Northeast Mobility in Albany, we were able to add an opening to the safety toe rail on the Hudson Crossing Park dock at no cost to the Park to accommodate the ramp.

Wheelchair Compatibility

The Mohawk Maiden Accessible can accommodate most manual wheelchairs comfortably. For guests using electric or power wheelchairs, please reach out to us so we can discuss your specific chair's dimensions and weight. Every situation is a little different, and we want to make sure we can serve you safely and confidently.

All wheelchair accessible tours will board at the Hudson Crossing Park Dock.

Inclusivity

At Mohawk Maiden Cruises, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all passengers. We've taken an important step forward with our wheelchair-accessible pontoon boat, but we're just beginning.

The path from the parking lot to the accessible dock is approximately 300 feet, and we can offer a transport wheelchair for those who may need assistance reaching the boat.

If you require any additional accommodations for our tours, please contact Captain Marla. We may not have all the answers yet, but we are dedicated to finding the right solutions for you.

Plan Your Tour

If wheelchair accessibility is needed for your visit, please contact us by clicking the button below. We typically can accommodate up to six passengers; however, if power chairs are involved, the weight may call for an adjustment in number of passengers.. 

Everyone deserves to feel the breeze off the river and enjoy the scenery from the deck. The Mohawk Maiden Accessible is our commitment to making that happen. We can't wait to welcome you aboard.
