CURLEW

Curlew was new to our fleet in 2021. We purchased her from another boatyard. Previous hirers have found her to be very comfortable and easy to handle.

She’s built by Haines Marine a well-known boating manufacturer. And she still shows her pedigree, with larger than usual cabins and saloon

Her layout makes her popular with families (You can make the front cabin up as 2 singles or a double bed).

Both cabins are ensuite. Rare in one of our No Frills boats.

No need to worry about what the British weather throws at you on this boat. Brinks Curlews’ dual steering position gives you options inside and out

It also provides great visibility across the broads. so don’t forget to pack your camera

Note: Norfolk has the lowest rainfall of any county in the UK

It’s worth pointing out that you need to be quite nimble to get up to and down quite a few steps though

Note Carefully: Curlew is a tall boat, and will not go under the bridges at Wroxham, Ludham, Potter Heigham or Great Yarmouth. This reduces your cruising area

We think it’s well worth hiring Brinks Curlew on the Norfolk Broads for a short break.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don’t need to have any experience or special licences to hire a Broads Cruiser. On arrival, we will give you a full demonstration of how to use, drive and moor the boat. You will also receive videos of how to handle a boat before you arrive.

We provide a manual (electronically and in hard copy onboard) to help you enjoy your holiday.

Our experienced crew will be happy to answer your questions before you leave the yard.

We would recommend at least one member of your crew have good mobility for moving about the deck and mooring.

On arrival at the boatyard, find yourself a temporary parking space outside reception.

A member of our team will direct you to your boat, getting your car as near as possible to the boat so you can unpack

Once you are ready, make your way back to reception with your car keys and paperwork for check-in.

We’ll book you in for your trial run at that point. We customise your tuition to suit your needs.

If the boat is not quite ready, we’ll take your mobile telephone number and contact you as soon as you can go onboard.

Boats will usually be available between 2 and 4 pm. We need them back at 9 am on your day of departure.

Some will be available earlier, but we can’t guarantee which boats will be ready early.

Each boat is

Pumped out (sewage removed from toilet tanks)

Filled up with fuel and water

Serviced by both the engineers and boat builders

Cleaned inside and out

Inspected by our head cleaner

We’re never quite sure what we will find when the boats return, which is why we don’t give you an exact pick-up time.

Yes, please give us a ring to let us know, and we’ll let you know where your boat is so you can go onboard when you arrive. We usually move the boat to just outside reception, so it’s easy to find.

In the morning, we will go through the check-in and trial run with you.

For safety reasons, you must not take the boat out of the yard until you have had a trial run.

Yes, by 9 am please, ready for our staff to get on board and sort her out for the next customers.

"The process was very straight forward and the accomadation was excellent and the use of a day boat for the week thrown in was an added extra bonus"

- Mike W

"Everything from start to finish was excellent - I will book direct next time - didn't realise you could book direct"

- Melanie W

"This holiday has been smooth from start to finish. The staff at the boatyard are so friendly and very welcoming. The boats are very well equipped with everything you need, very modern and stylish. I highly recommend you download there own mobile app as this gives you so much information it incredibly. (10/10 for the app) in a week we completed most of the broards but we did have to top the fuel tank with another £50 as we was against the tide some of the time. We will be back again 💯"

- Richard M

"Thank you for an excellent holiday. Your service is first class. Picking up the boat and returning it was handled efficiently by yourselves. Although the boat is showing its age now, everything thing worked perfectly. We have every intention of returning to holiday on the Norfolk Broads and we will be using Barnes Brinkcraft again."
