“Great 1/2 day out. Boat was in good order and all went well. Price was good but would do a full day next time. Staff member was very good and helpful. Can't fault anything really”
Thanks for the lovely review, Tony. We're pleased everything went smoothly and that you enjoyed your time on the water. A full-day hire next time will let you explore even more of the Broads at a relaxed pace.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“Had a great experience hiring a day boat from Barnes Brinkcraft. No issues with the booking process, it was very clear and easy to follow. Pickup was efficient and the boat we were allocated was excellent. The company seems to be really well run, and we loved our electric boat that was super quiet and in perfect condition. Had a great afternoon, thank you!”
We're really pleased everything was straightforward from booking through to getting out on the water, and that you enjoyed the quiet cruising of one of our electric boats.
We hope to welcome you back for another afternoon on the Broads soon.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

“Such a pleasant day out on a super boat. Great service from the guy on reception. Would recommend anyone to get on the river, especially in this very hot period.”
“We have enjoyed holidays on the broads for many years and have used many boat yards but B B are the friendliest and easiest to use in my experience, great people in a great location, what more could I want?”
Thank you for the lovely review Phil. That’s a real compliment, especially from someone who knows the Broads so well. We're delighted you enjoy our friendly team and our riverside location.
We look forward to welcoming you back again.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“Easy booking system, The lad on reception was really helpful as well arrived very early and we got the boat earlier than booked.
It is a bit tricky trying to find your way back in though. It could do with a sign.”
Thanks for the review. We’re glad everything was straightforward and that we could get you out on the water a little earlier than planned.
Thanks for the feedback about the signage too. We’ll pass that on to the team.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“Overall the week's boating was very pleasurable and Regal Star an excellent craft. The office staff were very friendly and informative. The information given after booking was very comprehensive and added to the general planning of the week.
However, one observation rather than a direct criticism was the time spent in making sure basic handling, particularly manoeuvring onto moorings was understood. This was very limited before being sent on our way. This lead to some difficulties at certain moorings.

Dear Anthony
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt a little more instruction would have been helpful.
For anyone else reading this, please do just let us know during your handover if you would like anything explained again or in a bit more detail. We are always more than happy to help, whether that’s going back over the controls, ropes, mooring, heating, toilets or anything else that helps you feel confident before you head off.
And of course, if once you’re underway you feel you would benefit from a little more tuition, you are very welcome to come back to the yard and we’ll happily go through things again with you.
We want everyone to relax and enjoy their time on the Broads, so please never feel awkward about asking — there are no silly questions when boats are involved!
All the Best
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“The service was excellent. Very helpful people.
However the house could do with some improvements. The chairs and sofa's in the lounge were very uncomfortable and we couldn't sit in them for very long. We found the stairs steep, but in fairness we are no spring chickens!
The slope up to the front door is quite dangerous and the mats inside the front and back doors have sunken in, making a trip hazard.
As I have said we have health and mobility problems, so these problems might not affect other people.
I booked mainly for the fishing, but when one of the staff where topping up the day boats, some spilled creating a diesel slick which lingered for a couple of days.
We had a stuck tap which was fixed within an hour.
But overall we had a lovely stay and sitting on the balconies watching the sunsets and watching the comings and goings of the boats was lovely.
We will look to book again next year, but will perhaps look for a bungalow.”
“House is beautiful and has everything you could wish for including a tv in every room.
Great having a day boat which was useful for fishing as small patch outside of house has a lot of boat movements.
Would go back again”
