Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don’t need to have any experience or special licences to hire a Broads Cruiser. On arrival, we will give you a full demonstration of how to use, drive and moor the boat. You will also receive videos of how to handle a boat before you arrive.

We provide a manual (electronically and in hard copy onboard) to help you enjoy your holiday.

Our experienced crew will be happy to answer your questions before you leave the yard.

We would recommend at least one member of your crew have good mobility for moving about the deck and mooring.

On arrival at the boatyard, find yourself a temporary parking space outside reception.

A member of our team will direct you to your boat, getting your car as near as possible to the boat so you can unpack

Once you are ready, make your way back to reception with your car keys and paperwork for check-in.

We’ll book you in for your trial run at that point. We customise your tuition to suit your needs.

If the boat is not quite ready, we’ll take your mobile telephone number and contact you as soon as you can go onboard.

Boats will usually be available between 2 and 4 pm. We need them back at 9 am on your day of departure.
 
Some will be available earlier, but we can’t guarantee which boats will be ready early.
 
Each boat is
Pumped out (sewage removed from toilet tanks)
Filled up with fuel and water
Serviced by both the engineers and boat builders
Cleaned inside and out
Inspected by our head cleaner
 
We’re never quite sure what we will find when the boats return, which is why we don’t give you an exact pick-up time.
Yes, please give us a ring to let us know, and we’ll let you know where your boat is so you can go onboard when you arrive. We usually move the boat to just outside reception, so it’s easy to find.
 
In the morning, we will go through the check-in and trial run with you.
 
For safety reasons, you must not take the boat out of the yard until you have had a trial run.

Yes, by 9 am please, ready for our staff to get on board and sort her out for the next customers.

"Fantastic, boat was ready to go. Spotless and everything prepared. Hand over was super smooth and boat lesson was relaxed and educational. Cannot recommend enough"
- Steve Thompson
"Totally beautifully part of of Norfolk ,are the broads ,so much wildlife ,a relaxing style of life away from the huddle and bussel of daily life ."
- Kevin Moore
"Great company --Best on the broads-- we booked Royal Swan for 7 nights -- fantastic company and great clean boat-- everyone was so helpful --bed was comfortable and the swan has a domestic loo and great shower over a corner bath-- we had the best time ever"
- C Craig-Gilby
"We hired the Prelude 4, which was very comfortable, clean and luxurious. The communication and service we received from Barnesbrinkcraft was amazing, including while we were out on the broads with the boat and had a couple of questions (it was our first time boating)! A photograph of the location of the circuit breaker for the mudweight winch in the handbook would have been handy (it was quite well hidden from view below a mattress in the front cabin), but otherwise everything was so well explained and in any case Barnesbrinkcraft were so easily contactable. We had three very special and beautiful days on the boat - thank you!"
- Olivia O’Sullivan
