03 / Why Dock Hopper began

It started with a restaurant we loved.

“My husband had mobility issues and couldn’t navigate the stairs to the restaurant. We loved the food and the atmosphere, so we knew there had to be others in the same position.”

That experience inspired Dock Hopper. What began as a way to rethink one difficult arrival became a courtesy boat ride from Winchester City Park to Drafts and Watercrafts for anyone who’d like to enjoy a waterfront restaurant from a different direction.
