Excalibur and FSS. Collectively Making a Family Difference.
Now is the time to get onboard with Excalibur’s family-oriented, ”Accessible Recreation on the Lake Program”. Designed for individuals with disabilities who are living with their families, this program offers families and individuals an invaluable opportunity to enjoy the stimulating nature and marine environment of Lake Eire. Whether you boat or fish, our state of the art, USCG inspected and licensed, Island Hopper is bound to give you a memory you won’t forget. Besides boating, you can join us for dockside instruction or sign up for one of Excalibur’s off season courses during the year.

FSS Support
Your MSC and Excalibur are here to help you. We realize the importance of family values and how important it is to be able to interact with one another in an accessible manner. Excalibur believes that with accessibility, we are presented with opportunities and with opportunity, the grace and dignity to participate.
Families may enjoy this program on a one time basis, or they may schedule multiple trips throughout the boating season. Excalibur is able to accommodate families of 4, including the individual who is differently abled for a scheduled two hour trip. Please indicate the type of trip you would like to schedule. Worms make the difference, if you’d like to fish, so please let us know. Our USCG licensed Captains and crew are here to make your family outing a pleasant one. Not only do we cast off ropes, but our experienced volunteers will provide hands on instruction in the proper use of marine equipment specially adapted for individuals with special needs.
