Accessibility at YachtService.VIP

At YachtService.VIP, we are committed to making our platform accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. Whether you’re a yacht owner seeking top-tier services or a professional offering your expertise, our goal is to provide a seamless and inclusive experience. We comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA and align with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the international standard EN 301 549 to ensure accessibility for users worldwide.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We believe everyone should have equal access to the services and opportunities on YachtService.VIP, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities. Our mission is to connect yacht owners with trusted professionals globally, from the United States to Europe and beyond, and we strive to make this interaction accessible to all.

Measures to Ensure Accessibility

We have implemented the following features to enhance accessibility:

  • Alternative text (alt-text) for all images, enabling screen readers to describe visual content for users with visual impairments.
  • Full keyboard navigation support for users who cannot use a mouse.
  • High-contrast text and background colors to improve readability for users with low vision.
  • Scalable text up to 200% without compromising layout or functionality.
  • Clear heading structure (using HTML tags like h1, h2, etc.) for easy navigation with screen readers.
  • Mobile-friendly design to support users managing yachts or services on the go, including at sea.

We conduct regular accessibility audits using tools like WAVE and Lighthouse and test compatibility with popular screen readers, such as JAWS and NVDA. In 2026, we plan to conduct an accessibility audit with input from users with disabilities to incorporate real-world feedback.

Compliance with Standards

YachtService.VIP complies with WCAG 2.1 at Level AA and the ADA, as well as California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act to ensure inclusivity. For international users, we are working to meet the requirements of EN 301 549, supporting accessibility in Europe and other regions. Our platform also supports multiple languages to serve our global community.
