“Absolutely loved our trip on chorus book at least 3 times every year and chorus has been the best boat ever lovely bathroom with separate shower easy mooring with duel bow thruster lovely interior and a great queen size bed”
Three trips a year is quite a compliment, Deborah, and we're delighted Chorus has become your favourite! It's lovely to hear how much you appreciate the layout and those little things that make life onboard easier.
You've captured some wonderful parts of the Broads in your photos too. Thanks for sharing them!

“A lovely boat. Well thought out.
Lay out is superb . What a difference the walk in shower makes
The boat it self handles like a dream bow n stern thrusters make live so much easier
Thankyou Barnesbrink craft.
See you next year chorus 4”
Sounds like Chorus 4 has found a fan, Tracy! We’re pleased the layout worked so well for you, especially the walk-in shower, and that the bow and stern thrusters made handling her nice and easy.
Great to hear you’ll be back aboard next year.

“The Chorus is a PERFECT boat for couples who like the broads - it looks great, it handles very easily, the bow & stern thrusters make it easy to moor up. The reversing camera really helps when mooring stern on.
The bed is big and comfortable, The bathroom is just great . Separate shower cubicle is just luxury! The kitchen is great all electric which works fine. We found we didnt need the shore power as the battery more than met our needs . For fishing the bathtub design means we can fish either end of the boat. The best recommendation i can make is we have is just to say we have already booked the Chorus again for our 2027 visit!”
It sounds like Chorus ticked all the boxes for you, Phil. We’re really pleased you enjoyed everything from the easy handling and comfortable layout to having plenty of room for a spot of fishing.
Booking her again for 2027 is about the best recommendation we could ask for. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back aboard.
All the best,

“Written by 2 elderly ( over 70 clients) with disabilities. Boat was excellent - bow and stern thrusters helped with mooring which hubby had to do on his own. Flat bottomed boat without steps other than those to gain access to dry land. Bed was firm for us but to walk around it was bliss - no bunks half enclosed under the upper deck, no being squished like peas in a pod. Queen sized bed with access from both sides. Tv picked up channels like a dream though we only used the one in the rear cabin. Netflix, Prime, app channels and the usual free view ones. Internet was excellent coverage and using my lappy and phone was fine. Battery life was again excellent and there was no problem using a CPAP machine overnight ( sleep apnea machine). The fridge is a medium full sized fridge with a tiny freezer section - enough for ice cubes and maybe an ice pack or two. The kitchen section was well laid out and very well equipped. We had an extremely hot week and l was loathe to cook but if you wanted you could cook absolutely anything with the utensils pans etc provided. We didn’t utilise the sliding canopy as we were grateful to keep out of the sun but in a “normal” uk summer this would have been lovely especially as it slid so easily, leaving the possibility to use half the canopy as a wind break if needed. The shower was the best l have ever had on a boat and is full sized. The door to the bathroom is however rather tight to get through if you carry weight- don’t be put off by this comment as if we got through you certainly will! The boat isn’t as nice to drive as those that have a higher driver seating position but we booked it because of it being flat floored, the layout, the thrusters and the reversing camera. We did struggle with the forward and back steps to exit the boat to shore but l can’t really see how the boat could have been built differently. Stern mooring would have been easy. Unless you are going to plan to eat out take plenty of food with you to avoid sometimes long walks to the closest shop. There is loads of storage on board for food and for clothes. Better to take clothes in a hold-all as suitcases are always a pain on a boat. If young this craft would be great to get on and off a paddle board.”
“Really good boat with plenty of space for 2 and could easily manage 4. Easy to get on and off and bow and stern thrusters help with mooring. All the facilities you need on board”
“We loved this boat, so easy to pilot, very responsive. Great to have camera at the back for ease of mooring. The batteries were supberb, no need to worry what we used at all. The only thing we didnt like was the position of the small narrow shelf for the kettle and toaster. The bed was a great size and the most comfortable bed we have had in all our 25 years of boating.”
We're delighted you enjoyed your holiday aboard Chorus. It's great to hear she was such a pleasure to handle, and that the cameras, batteries and that comfortable bed all helped make your stay even better.
We hope to welcome you back for your 26th year on the Broads!

“Chorus is a very convenient boat. It has both bow and stern thrusters, which make manoevering very straightforward plus there is a rear view camera so that you can see the difficult to see places.
The boat has a 240v power supply provided by batteries and an inverter. This means you have power
every when you are not hooked up.
The accommodation is very comfortable - especially the bed. The full size shower is a real luxury on a boat.
The boat is low. This means it is easy to get on and off AND there is no anxiety getting under bridges.”
“A fabulous boat with a super shower I could use,I’m 6ft and could stand upright, plenty of storage space and the pilots seat was comfortable as was the main seating”
