Boat was great had a fantastic weekend. only issue was upon arrival. Was told someone would come to us in 15mins. But wasn’t told to go to office and register so hour later went to office to find this out 🤷. Have used Brinkcraft before would use you again👍

Unfortunately you have to scroll through dates to find availability but once you have done that it's simple

We had a great experience with Barnes, we were advised they were cheaper than most boat hire in the area. We booked a small boat for the two of us. The lad showing us the controls and safety factors was very good, the boat we had hired was a diesel and as such quite noisy, asked him if we could swap to an electric boat which he did with no problem. Had a great few hours cruising up and down the Broads. Highly recommend

It's great to hear everything was ready for your arrival and that you were able to get underway without any fuss. And the photo of your four-legged captain definitely gave us a smile! We hope to see you all back on the Broads again soon. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

Well we have now had the Barnes Brinkcraft experience several times now and to be honest we cannot fault the boat we have chosen each time and the service has been second to none. We look forward to the beautiful hamper we receive as returning guests. In demanding times you are still doing a great job , it's a pleasure to be returning this year 2026 and can't wait to cast off on another broads adventure. Well done Barnes , keep it up.

Thanks for the lovely review, Ray. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay and made the most of having the day boat for the week. It certainly has been a particularly hot spell, so we can understand how warm it might have felt. It's great to hear the apartment felt like a home from home, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

Great fun day out. We hired the Brinkley for 4 hours and got up to St Benets Abbey where we moored for a lovely picnic lunch. The Broads were beautiful, boat very easy to handle - although we should probably have gone for the electric option as our diesel boat was quite noisy. Staff were very helpful. Would recommend.

It sounds like you made the most of your day, Sarah. St Benet's Abbey is a lovely spot to stop for a picnic, and we're pleased you found the boat easy to handle. Thanks for the recommendation. If you decide to try one of our electric boats next time, we'd love to hear what you think. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
