Review of the Norfolk Broads boat Richmond Bridge

Positives: A very comfortable cruiser, ideal for families or small groups. The raised saloon offers excellent visibility, especially with the full sliding canopy open for a bright, airy experience. Accommodation includes a mix of double and twin cabins, all with permanently made-up beds and private en-suite shower rooms. A lower stern deck with boarding platform ensures easy access on and off the boat. The 5kW warm air heating system makes this an appealing choice for early or late season cruising. Bow thrusters provide added ease when manoeuvring this larger vessel into tight mooring spots.

Negatives: There are a number of steps within this boat's interior, so perhaps not the best craft for those who are physically infirm. On the same theme, the deck sides can be a little high to access depending on where you're moored.

Richmond Bridge dimensions: 13.41m x 3.66m (44ft x 12ft)
