A new vessel at South Padre Island is helping people with disabilities.

The I CAN boat is designed specifically for disabled people and was inspired by a person with disabilities.  

In order to experience the ICAN vessel, people must first complete a Zoom course to educate them on fishing. 

"We do that for several reasons," I CAN captain Tim Lippoldt said. "One, because we want them to continue to fish. We don't want them to come here one time - fish and be done. We want them to continue to fish with their families."

The I CAN motto is "I can, I did, and I will again." 

The experience to be on the ICAN is free and strictly runs on donations.
