Autumn/Winter Newsletter
It doesn’t seem possible that we have come to end of another season, but with a real ‘nip’ in the air in the mornings now and the nights getting longer, all the boats will be heading back to the yard for the winter at the end of half term week.
Remember our riverside self catering accommodation is available to rent all year round, so you need not wait until Spring for your next Norfolk Broads ‘fix’.
It was a really busy season for us and the lovely weather lasted well into the late summer. In July Brinks Rhapsody 3 was launched, which with it’s sleek good looks and electric hybrid propulsion making cruising super quiet, proved really popular with our customers. Work is underway for next year with new boats being added to the fleet, Brinks Serenade, a 4+2 berth and
Brinks Encore a 2+2 berth. We will be taking photographs throughout the build and posting them on our Facebook
page, so do keep an eye on how we are getting on.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in our 2017 Brochure photo competition this year, we had some fantastic entries and some of these can be seen in our new brochure. To see all of the entries, please go to our online Album. The winners will receive a voucher for £150 off their next holiday.
Christmas & New Year
We have got just one property left for Christmas week, ‘Grebe‘
one of the Daisy Broad Lodges which can sleep up to 10 people. We will take care of the Christmas tree for you, and there will be a hamper full of delicious local, seasonal foods for you to enjoy. On top of all that, you have the use of a Day Launch for the duration of your stay*.
* Subject to weather conditions.
We do still have availability for New Year in the Daisy Broad Lodges, from the 28th December to the 4th of January. ‘Coot’ and ‘Grebe’ have an inter-connecting door and can sleep up to 20 people – why not get all of your friends and family together for a really big celebration!
