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.

"Wonderful relaxing week. The weather was perfect."

"Our 2nd time on the broads and with Barnes Brinkcraft. Great boat, great staff kind and helpful. With a little starter lesson they ensure you are confident to sail away."
- Tina K
"First time boating for around 15 years. Just the two of us and an anxious dog. Handover of the boat was sweet as a nut, arrived at 1400 to be told the boat was ready and we could unpack. Managed to park quite close so wasn't too hard in the sunshine. Had a quick demo with Casper who showed us what to do and we were off downstream making towards Potter Heigham. First time we've ventured across Breydon must give a shout out to the Yarmouth station guys for putting us right. Easy crossing and into reedham for the night, discovered the Ferry doesn't do food on Monday so onwards into Norwich, again thanks to the yacht station lad for helping with mooring. Quite a lively place unfortunately we managed to find three lads that rather than go home they had a full on discussion around exams and universities outside the boat. Not offensive or swearing just a little loud, but hey that's the risk you take in a city. Back to the Northern side from then on. Lovely day at Salhouse and a walk to the Stag, first time trying Hawkstone Lager and can confirm it's rather nice. Back to wroxham Friday night to hand over the boat Saturday morning. A fantastic holiday all in all although an interaction with one of the staff members in the office marred it somewhat. Unknown to me we had been given the spare key for the boat, when returning it to the office I entered into 20 questions which were all the same why do you have the spare key? It was the tone of voice and talking down to me that I took exception to. There are only so many ways I can say I don't know it was what was given to me. Would I return? In a heartbeat, I think I was born to be wealthy but forced to work for a living Great holiday Serenade 6 is a stunning boat, absolutely has everything you would need for a week."
