Autumn on the Norfolk Broads

A boat for sunshine, showers...and a serious game of cards

14 September 2026

Autumn on the Norfolk Broads can be rather lovely. The rivers are quieter, the trees are changing colour and there is usually a riverside pub waiting whenever somebody suggests it might be time to stop.

Choose a boat with outside seating or an opening canopy for those bright autumn afternoons, then turn on the heating and settle into the saloon when the evening draws in.

We have four-night breaks available from Monday 5 October:

🃏 Jazz – sleeps 2+2

A practical little boat for a couple or family, with dual steering, a sundeck and a forward cockpit that is also rather useful if you are bringing the fishing rods.
£359 per boat – £180 each when two share

🍂 Concerto – sleeps 4+2

An excellent all-season choice for two couples, with two double cabins, two bathrooms, dual steering and a comfortable saloon.
£757 per boat – £189 each when four share

🌤️ Melody – sleeps 7

Outside seating when the weather behaves, dual steering and a large saloon when it doesn’t. With three en-suite cabins, it works particularly well for three couples or a family group.
£844 per boat – £141 each when six share

💷 Ultima – sleeps 8+4

A large sociable saloon, split opening canopy and plenty of room for friends or family.
It may be one of our simpler boats, but at £739 per boat – just £92 each when eight share – it leaves rather more in the kitty for pub lunches.

✨ Prelude – sleeps 8+2

For a more luxurious autumn escape, Prelude has quiet electric cruising, a spacious saloon, a superb galley and a large top deck.
£1,624 per boat – £203 each when eight share, or £406 per cabin

All our boats have heating, dogs are welcome and no previous boating experience is needed.


Which autumn crew are you: fishing rods, walking boots, pack of cards—or all three?
