Norfolk Broads Boats for hire

If you've never had a river cruiser holiday before, you're missing out on the most relaxing adventure holiday possible. The Norfolk Broads is a haven for wildlife and is an internationally important wetland environment and you can holiday right in the middle of it, escaping from the stress of our modern fast paced lives to meander along unspoiled rivers and beautiful villages at just 4mph! Worried about not being able to handle the boat? Don't be. Our Norfolk Broads holiday cruisers are simple to handle and we'll give you a comprehensive river trial before you set off from the boat yard.

Bring the whole family - children and well behaved dogs are welcome. Our boats will pass under Potter Heigham Bridge.

Why take a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads?

The Norfolk Broads have been a popular holiday destination for over a century, the first yachts being built and run by the likes of skilled boat builders John Loynes and Ernest Collins at the turn of the 20th century. In the last 100 years, the boats that populate our rivers have changed dramatically, but the landscape remains as wonderful as ever with rivers flowing through stunning villages and hamlets, suddenly opening up into the vast open waters that are the Norfolk Broads.
