Norfolk Broads boating holidays
Barnes Brinkcraft is a family-run Norfolk boatyard that has been providing boating holidays on the Norfolk Broads since 1964. We are ideally located in Wroxham, the gateway to the Broads National Park, making a great location to start your Norfolk Broads boating holiday experience. Book direct with us for the best prices and holiday experiences.
We have nearly 100 holiday boats to choose from suiting all budgets and requirements, from 2 berth holiday boats up to our large cruisers that can accommodate 12 people. Holidays start days are on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays or Saturdays. We provide training, life jackets, maps, guides, bedding, towels, and a welcome aboard pack and many of our boats have WiFi. Add a paddleboard or rowing dinghy along with your main holiday boat and explore the less accessible areas of the broads too!
Whatever style of hire boat you fancy, modern, traditional, practical or sporty, all of our Norfolk cruisers are well equipped and fitted with the kit you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable boating holiday on the Norfolk Boards. Read our guide on choosing your perfect boat.
Luxury Norfolk Broads Cruisers
These feature our most technically advanced luxury holiday boats, a typical example is the Brinks Rhapsody, a cool modern design with solar panels, a quiet hybrid engine that is both diesel and electric powered making it better for the environment and provides peaceful relaxing cruising.
Mid Range Broads Holiday Cruisers
Our mid-range holiday boats are our most popular boats as they provide the perfect balance of comfort and cost. A few years ago many of these holiday boats were the leaders in their class, but time, technology, and expectations continue to move on.
No Frills Boats
These are much-loved holiday boats with all the basics you will need for a simple carefree boating holiday. We pride ourselves on maintaining our budget fleet of broads cruisers to a high standard, whatever age they may be.
