PRELUDE
Brinks Prelude is the newest addition to our Fleet. Her electric drive provides enough power for an average days cruising.
Just boost the batteries with her auxiliary diesel engine or save fuel and connect to shore power when needed.
Hook up on shore power overnight or mud weight away from the crowds. The choice is yours on this boat.
She’s a comfortable and spacious hire boat. She is built for enjoying the best of the Norfolk Broads with your friends and family.
Even better, the electric engine whispers. All you’ll hear when cruising along is the sound of the water hitting the bow and the prop churning.
Brinks Prelude has only just launched. More pictures will follow as we have them available.
The top deck provides a comfortable seating area for the whole family, including a picnic table and two sun loungers.
We can configure the cabins as four double beds or two double beds and four single beds. You’ll find lovely big queen-size beds in the fore and aft cabins. You can also convert the saloon seating into a large double bed if guests stay for an evening.
Each bathroom has a separate, full-height shower cubicle. So you don’t need to hide your loo roll before taking a shower on this boat.
The galley kitchen is very well provisioned. It holds two full-size fridges, an induction hob, a full-size electric oven and a microwave. A cut above the usual facilities on board many hire boats.
We are sure you will agree that this is a very spacious saloon. With loads of light from the electric sunroof. Very comfortable upholstery and tinted privacy windows beautifully framing the Norfolk Broads.
The bathing platform at the rear of the boat makes for easy access to rowing boats and paddleboards. Strategically placed toe holds and grab rails make movement around the boat a breeze.
The bow and stern thrusters (little propellers at the front and back of the boat) make mooring almost effortless. You can get this boat to move sideward!
At night, turn on the LED deck lights. You don’t need to rely on the moon to find your way back on board in the dark.
Oh, and we provide boosted mobile wifi on board (no download limit)
Overall, we are impressed with the Brinks Prelude Hire boat. We hope you are too.
