Here's the link to their schedule.

This is on their FAQ page:
"Can you accommodate Wheelchairs?
Yes, Body Glove Cruises is wheelchair friendly for Snorkeling, Sunset Dinner and Whale Watching Cruises. Our customized boarding ramp, with portable extensions accommodates all wheelchairs including manual, electric and scooters. The lower deck of our 65 foot catamaran is fully accessible from bow to stern including tables and restrooms. For those that just want to go along for the ride and not participate in snorkeling, special "Ride-a-Long" rates are available."

Looks like a nice boat ... lots of room.
