Welcome to the
Norfolk Broads Boat Hire Agency


The Norfolk Broads has provided the setting for boating holidays for over a hundred years and its popularity is no surprise given the tranquil nature of its waterways. First-time cruisers will be particularly at home here with around 150 miles of lock-free rivers. A week or a short break can easily include discovering the unique countryside of this National Park together with time to spend in the fine city of Norwich or all the fun of the fair in Great Yarmouth. A boating holiday is a break the whole family can enjoy. 

Whether you are a first-time hirer or a regular visitor, you will find everything you need here to book your ideal boating holiday. We offer around 450 cruisers for hire with start points located across the region, together with our own unique motor cruiser rating system to help you make an informed choice.
