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.

"Had a fantastic day on the broads thanks to Barnes Brinkcraft. I hired a picnic boat for the day. Boat was well equipped for our needs and the I received all of the instructions I needed. I’m already looking forward to going back next year!"

"We had a great time aboard Rhapsody in the October half term. The Boat was very clean upon pick up and fully equiped with good bedding and all kitchen utensils in a very clean state. We called the yard once at the very beginning of our 5 day trip as we were cocerned that we had no heating and they explained what we needed to switch on and that it could take up to 15 minutes and sure enough it was pumping out lovely warm air which was needed for the October evenings. We had no issues with either toilets and the boat ran very smoothly both in Hybrid and generator mode when needed to charge up the battery. Staff were great on check in and boat handover. I would sugest that if you are not sure on anything mechanical whilst cruising then phone the engineers as that is what they are there for and dont wait to complain when you arrive back and its too late for them to reciify. Thankfiully we had no such issues but its reasuring to know that if needed they will drive to where you are moored to fix."
