PRELUDE
Brinks Prelude is due to launch for July 2022. This is our newest electric hybrid Norfolk Broads Cruiser. A larger hire boat built for enjoying the best of the Norfolk Broads with your friends and family.
The boat is being built at the moment and pictures will follow. You can get an idea of the finish by looking at Brinks Tempo
The top deck provides a comfortable seating area for the whole family. Including a picnic table and 2 sun loungers.
We can configure the cabins as 4 double beds or 2 double beds and 4 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 extra space is needed.
Each bathroom has a separate, full-height shower cubicle. So no need to hide your loo roll before taking a shower on this boat
The galley kitchen is very well provisioned. It holds 2 full-size fridges, an induction hob, a full-size electric oven and a microwave.
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 frame the Norfolk Broads beautifully.
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 side-on entry and 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 literally get this boat to go sidewards
As you would expect from Barnes Brinkcraft, the tech onboard this hybrid boat is really good. Brinks Prelude will cruise silently when the batteries are charged. She will automatically revert to diesel when batteries are depleted.
