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.

"Fabulous time boating on the broads. Boat was perfect for us and the dog. Lots of space and well equipped. Really friendly staff and even when we had a minor mishap (captains fault not the boatπŸ˜‚) they were so quick to get us back on the move. Highly recommend and will definitely look to rebook"
- Emma Swinton
"This was the first time we had hired a boat for a week on the Broads. We had a fantastic time, the boat was just right and we enjoyed cruising and visiting all the little nooks and crannies of the Broads. We have booked to come back next year. The staff at Barnes Brinkcraft are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble."
- Sue Johnson
