Sunrise Day Boat Hire on the Norfolk Broads

⭐ Comfortable family boating for longer days out

Best for: Families, full-day trips, onboard cooking, relaxed cruising


Sunrise is a comfortable and practical day boat designed for people who want to spend a full day properly exploring the Norfolk Broads.

With seating for up to 7 people, onboard toilet facilities and simple cooking facilities onboard, Sunrise suits families and mixed groups who prefer a slower, more relaxed day on the water with plenty of stops along the way.


Why People Choose Sunrise

👍 Comfortable for all-day cruising

Sunrise gives everyone enough room to properly settle in for the day, whether you’re cruising towards Horning or finding a quiet spot for lunch beside the river.

👍 Ideal for lunches onboard

With a hob, grill, kettle and sink onboard, Sunrise works particularly well for picnics, tea stops and easy family lunches afloat.

Please bring your own crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment if needed.

👍 Easy family boating

The onboard toilet makes longer days far easier, especially with younger children onboard.

👍 Straightforward for beginners

No boating experience needed. Sunrise is easy to handle, and we’ll show you everything before you leave the yard.


Great For

  • Family days out
  • Full-day boating trips
  • Riverside lunches and picnics
  • First-time boaters
  • Relaxed scenic cruising
  • Mixed family groups

Is Sunrise the right boat for you?

✅  Choose Sunrise if:

  • You want onboard toilet facilities
  • You’re planning a longer day on the water
  • You’d like cooking facilities onboard
  • You want a comfortable family-friendly boat
  • You’re hiring a boat for the first time
  • You prefer relaxed cruising at your own pace

❌ You may prefer another boat if:

You can stop where you like, make tea onboard, enjoy lunch beside the river and spend the day exploring without constantly watching the clock.

Which is usually when the Broads is at its best.

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.

"Excellent service from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff and the boat was ready earlier than expected."
- Keith A
"Brilliant place to stay. Friendly staff. Loved staying in the Main Sail with access to the day boat we was given. Amazing"
- Michael A
"We had an excellent day on the Broads. We arrived a bit early and were greeted warmly and went for a wander. Our boat came back in shortly before our booking began and was swiftly turned around to a good standard. Instructions were helpful and we were given good pointers where we could go in the allowed time. The vessel was great quality and in excellent condition."
- Andrew R
"Clean tidy & well appointed, the addition of the free river boat was the cherry on the cake. A helpful improvement would be towel rails in the bathrooms and perhaps a shelf as only 1 hook on back of door and a soap/shampoo holder in the shower would be nice. Staff very helpful and friendly, which made booking in after a 6 hour journey unstressful. Lovely views over the marina and river Bure made sitting having breakfast on the balcony a priority every morning. We plan to book again"
