"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....."
