Accessible Boating Association (ABA) is a charity managed by volunteers. We maintain two specially equipped boats, allowing anybody with mobility or socialising difficulties to enjoy day trips or longer cruises with carers, family and friends on the Basingstoke Canal.
Dawn is our dayboat. We run trips on Dawn from April to October, with special events during the year. In addition to the 2 crew, Dawn can accommodate a maximum of 10 passengers including up to four in wheelchairs. A typical day trip lasts for up to 4 hours, visiting either Odiham Castle, or the Barley Mow wharf.
Madam Butterfly is a fully equipped holiday boat, sleeping 7. She has a hospital bed, hoist and fully accessible bathroom, allowing those with mobility problems to take a canal holiday accompanied by carers, friends and family.
