Good choice of day boats. Had an electric one for the first time, plenty of power for the 8hr day. Made a difference to having the diesel engine chugging away behind you. Easy to book, great helpful staff.

Staff were very friendly, boat was comfortable and easy to drive. Unfortunately the water pump wasn't working so we were unable to make hot drinks.

I've been on the broads on & off since I was 8 years old. The last time being ten years ago. I now have a ten year old myself, who I wanted to experience the broads with. Barnes who I think we've hired with many times since I was a nipper were absolutely fantastic. Quite a last minute booking with limited choice (the boat I wanted wasn't available) but they gave me a great deal, great price on a different boat. We had an absolutely wonderful time and I can't wait to do it again, with Barnes, hopefully next year. Thanks for the service. Great boat in great condition, great handover instruction, great staff & great price. Big thumbs up

I took a long weekend cruise on the Norfolk broads from Wroxham travelling to Sutton Staithe via Ludham also stopping at Malthouse broad. The holiday was really enjoyable making me realize that I don't necessarily have to travel a long distance from my home to find beautiful scenery and interesting places to visit. I hired a boat from Barnes Brinkcraft which was well equipped with cooker oven running hot water and electricity. Life on the boat was comfortable and sleeping on board enabled us to tour different places either moored outside a country pub or in a nature area . I would recommend a holiday on the broads wholeheartedly yes it is weather dependent holiday and if blessed with dry weather it is impossible not to marvel at the beauty of the Norfolk broads.

Thanks Richard We have a variety of hire boats available for dayboat hire - each with their own pros and cons - it might be worth trying one of our electric boats, they are quieter

Arrived, boat all ready, training given by friendly staff and off we went. Fabulous day out. Been on other providers boats over many years but you can’t beat Barnes quality so haven’t booked with anyone else for too many years to remember
