Ocean Raft Alaska runs 2-hour, high-speed open-boat wildlife tours on the Upper Lynn Canal from Skagway, with check-in at the public restroom building on Broadway just south of 1st Avenue and a short bus ride to the boat. The company says guests must walk at least 100 yards unaided, wheelchairs, walkers and scooters aren't allowed on board, and the minimum age is 10 with a 350 lb limit; the ride can be bouncy, especially in the front seats. Boarding steps at the dock and onboard restrooms aren't known, and the waterfront is crowded on cruise days from May to September. Not checked on-site by AbleVu.

Ocean Raft Alaska says guests must be able to walk at least 100 yards without help, and scooters, wheelchairs and walkers are not allowed on the boat.
Tour limits: minimum age 10, maximum guest weight 350 lb; guests with existing neck or back conditions and pregnant guests can't book (company FAQ).
Seating: the open boat seats 15 to 25 guests. The company says the front seats are the bounciest and the back seats give a smoother ride; guests swap seats halfway through.
Meeting point: check in at the front of the public restroom building on Broadway just south of 1st Ave, beside a grassy field, then ride the company bus. Walking time from the Broadway Dock is 2-3 minutes; from the Railroad and ORE Docks it is 10-15 minutes (about half a mile, partly on a wooden dock).
