He has a motorized wheelchair and no we
Can't lift him out of the wheelchair. If you guys
know of any boat that we can go out on. Please

I think I recall seeing someone in a wheelchair on the Gambler.

We have people on board in wheelchairs frequently during the summer. Always seem to manage. Can't recommend this time of the year or winter.

I am sure most of the site sponsors can accommodate him without an issue. Just might have to contend with the cold if this crazy spring doesn't start warming up...

I have seen quite a few people in wheel chairs on a few different party boats.. Get a few big guys to help lift him into the boat if the tide is wrong and can not just roll on..

Like the others said, I think any party boat would accomodate your uncle, the captains and mates do their best to make each trip enjoyable for the customers. My suggestion would be that he fishes at the rear of the boat, more room to move around and less likelyhood that he would get drenched while under way should the ocean get rough.

I saw these guys in action a few years back along the manasquan inlet wall and also un loading from a party boat after a trip.

No limits on what these guys could do.

Chris is a good Fisherman and fished many times with us on the Gambler . the Gambler has more space between the rail and benches . She also has a ramp instead of steps .

As Pedro said, the Gambler is well equipped for wheelchair fishermen. Really most boats with ramps are fine. I know I have fished with the disabled on the Paramount too. Only trouble was having to help push them up the ramps, which isn't necessary for someone with a motorized chair. I would recommend waiting for warmer weather as some cabins would be very hard to get into as there often is a raised piece at bottom of the doors. Without being to graphic, depending on your uncle's bathroom needs, an external head might be a consideration also. J II, Gambler, Jamaica all have external heads.
