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.

"love this cottage it was very clean and tidy with plentyof kitchen equipment only negative thing was the over the bath shower it was not good .My grandchildren loved the boat and made full use of. it great base to explore norfolk and with Roys just a short distance from the cottage was great for fresh food"
- Susan R
"We really enjoyed our half term break in Crested Grebe. The boat was a fantastic bonus, as was the hamper for a returuning customer. Everything was clean, well organised and having a shower room each was great. Highly recommended"
- Barbara B
"Our family of 4 have just returned home from a fantastic few days staying in Greylag Goose Cottage and have had such a lovely stay. The accommodation has everything you could possibly need and it’s perfectly located in a beautiful spot. All local amenities are within a few minutes yet it is peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the marina. Our boys tried fishing right outside the cottage and we made full use of the boat that was included with the booking, easily navigating the local waterways and visiting the pub in nearby Horning. We 100% will book again, easy booking in, very clean well maintained property and an all round perfect experience. Loved the enclosed patio area, making it even safer for our children and small dog! Thank you Barnes Brinkcraft and all your lovely team!"

"Easy booking process, fair price for July. Returning customer, and looking forward to one of their Elite fleet boats."
