Accessibility statement
Effective date 4 November 2026
1. Our commitment
1.1 Everyone welcome. Headland Yachting Limited (“Headland Yachting”, “we”, “us”) wants everyone to be able to use https://www.headlandyachting.com (the “Website”) and to plan a charter with us, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use.
2. The standard we work to
2.1 Target standard. The Website has been designed and built with the aim of meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium.
2.2 How we check. This statement is based on our own testing, using automated tools and manual checks with a keyboard and screen readers, carried out when the Website was built and whenever it changes significantly.
3. What this means for you
3.1 Features. On the Website you should be able to:
(a) navigate every page using a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline;
(b) use screen readers such as VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS, supported by proper headings, landmarks and text alternatives for meaningful images;
(c) read text and controls that meet AA colour contrast in both light and dark modes, with no information conveyed by colour alone;
(d) zoom text up to 400 per cent without loss of content;
(e) reduce motion, as the Website respects your device’s reduced-motion setting; and
(f) print pages cleanly on light paper.
4. Known limitations
4.1 Third-party content. Some content comes from third parties and may not fully meet our target standard, including yacht information, photographs and documents supplied by yacht owners, charter companies and central agents, embedded Instagram and Google review content, the WhatsApp and live chat services, and PDF brochures or deck plans.
4.2 Video. Some videos on the Website are decorative and have no audio. Where a video conveys information, we aim to provide captions or a text alternative.
4.3 Fixing issues. When we identify a problem, we aim to fix it or provide the information in another way.
5. Alternative formats and help with your booking
5.1 Other formats. If you need information from the Website, a yacht proposal or a charter contract in a different format, such as large print, plain text or an accessible document, please ask. We will provide our own content in the format you need wherever we reasonably can and will ask yacht owners and charter companies to do the same for their documents.
5.2 Other ways to contact us. If you prefer not to use the online forms, you can email us or ask us to call you.
6. Accessibility on board
6.1 Yachts vary. Yachts differ widely in layout, steps, deck access and tender transfers, and many are not designed for wheelchair users. Please tell us about any mobility, sensory or other needs when you enquire.
6.2 What we will do. We will ask the yacht’s owner or charter company specific questions on your behalf, pass on your needs with your consent, and give you the most accurate information we can before you book. The yacht’s owner or charter company is responsible for the yacht and what can be provided on board.
7. Feedback and contact
7.1 Tell us. If you have difficulty using any part of the Website, please email hello@headlandyachting.com with the page address and a description of the problem. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
8. Review of this statement
8.1 Updates. We will review this statement at least once a year and whenever we make significant changes to the Website. The Effective Date at the top shows when it was last revised.
