"Amazing value at £25 per hour for up to 8 people, compared to the Broads Tours who wanted £68 per hour. Very helpfully chap, showed us the boat and how it worked, then set us on our way. Great way to spend a hour on a bit of a rainy day. Had a nice ride out around the broads. Comfy boat and Dogs welcome."
