SONNET

Brinks Sonnet is a light and airy open-plan galley & saloon, with a separate double berth in the aft cabin.  Its a really nice boat to get around as it is single-level throughout and has very wide side decks which makes Brinks Sonnet very easy to get on and off.

Should you find holidaying in the Broads National Park as enjoyable as we do, you could purchase a very similar boat through Viking Cruisers who manufacture a similar boat. it is available to purchase from through Norfolk Boat Sales.

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.

"Everything we expected and more. A great family experience on a lovely boat. The check in was quick and the boat brief/tuition was very informative by a great member of the team. I’d 100% recommend Barnes Brinkraft"
- Michael Mulcahy
"We hired Royall Commander for a week and, overall, were happy with it. It isn't the newest boat around (we expected that for the money) but it was in reasonable condition and the kitchen had been refurbished. As experienced hirers we find it is not uncommon to have an issue (generally small) but on this boat nothing went wrong. In addition the boat was very well equipped. It wasn't ready till 16.30 on the day we picked it up but we were allowed to keep it for an extra hour at the hire's end so we were happy with that. We particularly liked the opening roof allowing "al fresco" dining (subject to the weather, and the insects....). Lastly, Royall Commander fitted under Wayford Bridge, just, so we reached Dilham which was a bonus. The only thing we did not like at all were the "wet room" showers, which may be excusable in a small boat (or a motorhome) but not on a 38ft x 12ft cruiser. They are, unfortunately, a trend on Broads boats, but it seems us that only proves that boat designers can't ever actually hire boats....."
