Frequently Asked Questions

Please click here for directions.

Yes, you can bring a max of 2 dogs with you It’s worth remembering some dogs love being on a boat, but not all. We recommend bringing a dog bed with you. We would recommend the Brinklets for dogs as these are the easiest for them to get on and off.

Yes, we do, via the Broadcaster magazine provided with each hire.

Please see our suggested itinerary here.

There is a speed limit between 3 and 5 mph in this part of the Broads National Park. This is designed to protect the wildlife on the banks from wash caused by boats.

"The booking process was very easy, had to phone during process as website would not allow me to enter names of other members of my party, as requested by website. Phone calk resulted in me being told " no need to do that now, it was during covid". All sorted"
- John D
"We had an amazing time on the Broads. The team at Barnes Brinkcraft were all friendly and helpful, from the Reception staff, through to the very helpful young man who tutored us in boat handling. The boat itself was comfortable and well equippped (we were on Mercury 2) and the goody bag provided was an additional bonus, as was the bottle of Prosecco, (my husband was celebrating a significant birthday while we were away), both of which were very gratefully received. Thank you so much"

"The booking process is really easy. I always make the booking by phone as I like the human touch. The staff are really nice and helpful. I have no experience of online bookings. Thankyou."
- Kathryn H
"Riverview is a lovely upside down boathouse. Had everything we needed for our weeks stay. The inclusion of the day boat was an added bonus! Plenty to do locally without having to drive any distance and only 15 minutes on the train to the lovely city of Norwich! Our dog loved the trip too!"
