Bringing the dog? Of course you are.
For a limited time, your four-legged crew member can join your Norfolk Broads boating holiday completely free of charge.
No hidden extras. No awkward add-ons. Just you, the river… and a happy dog on deck.
On holidays booked by 2nd March and taken by 30th April 2026.
Why a Boating Holiday is Perfect for Dogs
If your dog prefers muddy paws to city pavements, they’ll love the Broads.
Quiet rivers and wide open skies
Riverside pubs with dog-friendly welcomes
Easy access to countryside walks straight from your mooring
Space on board to stretch out and watch the world drift by
In our (slightly biased) opinion, it’s one of the most relaxing holidays you can take with a dog.
What Does “Dogs Go Free” Mean?
Normally, there’s a small charge for bringing pets aboard.
Right now? We’re waiving it.
That means:
✔ No pet supplement
✔ Up to 3 dogs welcome (depending on boat)
✔ No compromise on comfort
Just choose one of our designated dog friendly boats and book by 2nd March 2026.
