Just returned from taking my wifes parents. Both around 70. She did quite well, but having not been on a boat much he had some troubles. The dinghy was a little dicey at times, and sometimes the dock is quite a way up for some. We learned to beach the dinghy, let them out and then go tie up on the dock He had a great time but did return with quite a few bumps and bruises. It was kind of a bucket list thing so i doubt they would go again. I would make sure to take it slow, transfer on your but as much as possible, and make sure someone in there to help all the time. We were on a lagoon 400. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
