Norfolk Broads Boat Hire

With over 50 years of Norfolk Broads boat hire experience, Barnes Brinkcraft will help you find the best hire boat for your holiday needs.

As you are dealing directly with the boatyard, we know our boats well. We have been adding new cruisers to our Wroxham hire boat fleet on a regular basis, so we’ve got a great range of nearly 100 boats to choose from.

There’s lots of flexibility on when you can start your holiday with the choice of Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, or Saturdays.

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 on 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 (both 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

"There was four of us. Two couples and our two dogs and we had the best time ever. We hired the Consort 6 which was for six people but more comfortable for four. The pick up was easy a quick run through on how to manoeuvre the boat and drop off was just as easy with a quick fuel fill then to the parking bay. We would highly recommend a long weekend away.The Millers, our dogs Coco & Layla and crew !!!! Tim & Sally !!!! 😂😊"

"Another amazing holiday courtesy of Barnes Brinkcraft. When we arrived, the boat was immaculate. We were given a 30 minute guide to using the boat by one of their staff. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and patient (especially with us non-boat people!)We got a loyalty hamper for being a return customer and the quality products in this were delicious.The boat was a dream to use over the week and we will be booking again for our 2023 holiday. If you love nature, want to explore the broads and get close up to Kingfishers and Herons, we highly recommend a boating holiday. And if you choose a boating holiday, choose it with Barnes Brinkcraft."
