Review of the Norfolk Broads boat Calypso

Positives: Calypso is a classic cruiser, perfectly suited for two. The spacious aft cabin features a permanently made-up walk-around double bed for added comfort. As a forward-drive craft, the raised saloon and helm offer excellent all-round visibility through panoramic windows-ideal for those new to boating. A sliding sunroof over the saloon lets you soak up the sunshine, while the forward well with seating is a great spot to relax and enjoy the views as you cruise.

Negatives: Calyso has quite high side decks. As such, bringing along a collapsible step would be useful. Be aware that your side-view over the riverside reeds on forward drive cruisers is limited.

Calypso dimensions: 8.53m x 3.28m (28ft x 10ft 9in)
