We define Special Needs as those that for medical or personal reasons, are NOT able to, or are unwilling to get on a boat with those that they do not know or those that would be challenged by an uncomfortable means of getting into and out of the boat. Our ladder is a special design and easy to use.

When it comes to people with special needs we have found that 2 things are important. One is the ability to get in and out of the boat and second is our compassion to those that need special attention. This is what we are good at and understand. No one needs to be concerned or embarrassed about any special need. We have been of help to the sick, the elderly, those with small children, the handicapped, non swimmers, those afraid of fish, Those with bowel and bladder issues and many others that for whatever reason would benefit or be more relaxed on a private boat.
We ask that you inform us fully in order that we can determine if we can be of service.

Our Grumpy and Happy Snorkel boat is modern and comfortable. It has a great ladder and a Sun cover

The decision will depend on the nature of the need or disability. We cannot promise that we will take everyone that has a special need but we will do our best. Considerations are family support and our abilities.

People with special needs can be assured that Jolene and I will treat them with a mature level of care and understanding. We have taken great joy in this part of our business.

We are both certified in First Aid and CPR and are also ex dive instructors. We have a mature attitude and love helping people to enjoy and experience those trips that would be difficult on a boat filled with people they do not know.


Snorkel Vests, Prescription mask and dry or semi dry snorkels
Getting in and out of a boat for many had been problem. Struggling up a poorly designed ladder on a boat with people you do not know is not a pleasant experience and can be embarrassing. We have done our best to remove this obstacle. First you will be on the boat with people you known, and second we have designed and built a ladder that makes getting back into the boat easy and stress free.
Many boat ladders have a steep angle going into the water. This means that you may find yourself falling back off the ladder while trying to get back on the boat. This is very uncomfortable and may Many boat ladders do not go deep enough into the water or they have narrow or round steps the hurt the feet. The ladder on Grumpy & Happy goes deep into the water with 6 full steps. It is held out from the side of the boat with a support. This means that coming up this ladder is more like climbing stairs, and less like climbing a steep or vertical ladder. The lowest step is easy to put your foot on.The steps are very wide and comfortable. There is a grab handle on both sides of the ladder to pull yourself up with both hands
This ladder has wide comfortable steps that go deep into the water. Note the 2 grab handles and also note the comfortable angle of the ladder
Our boat is a 26 foot MAKO and has two NEW Evinrude 200 Hp Engines. Ladder has wide steps and goes deep into the water to make entry into and out of the boat very easy. The boat is equipped with life jackets, VHF radio and we carry a cell phone with us. We also carry a full first Aid kit. We are both certified Dive Instructors, Medic First Aid Instructors and Dan Oxygen Instructors.
