We offer around 300 boats for hire with start points located across the Broads, together with our own unique boat rating system to help you make an informed choice.

Our site contains masses of useful information including 12 suggested itineraries tailored to the skipper’s level of experience. You will find standard itineraries which should suit the majority, itineraries for those with younger family members who might become bored with the standard village, countryside and public house stops, itineraries for the less experienced which avoid Great Yarmouth with its fast flowing tides and have suggested moorings which should be easier to negotiate. Finally, we have itineraries which includes a passage through Great Yarmouth to visit both the Northern and Southern Broads and rivers.
