In 1982 we built the first electric launch for hire on the Norfolk Broads leading to the development of our fleet. All of our boats are safety checked, insured and easy to use for all the family. Our boats are better for the environment than the traditional diesel engines, with less pollution, smell and vibration.
Peacefully cruise along the river in our quiet boats, with limited disturbance to the habitats and nature around you. We are based in Potter Heigham, tucked away from the busy Broads of Wroxham, but still a peaceful cruise along the river to picturesque places such as Hickling, Horsey and Barton Broad.

Really nice gentleman assisted myself and family have a fantastic time out on one of the day hire boats.
I can't think of a more pleasant time to spend time together, this was certainly helped by the gentleman / owner? and his welcoming commitee of friendly dogs. His choice of cruise route and calm advice (when tangled weed slowed the boat down to crawling speed )
It may not look a flash show office , but they are far more reasonable prices than others we have tried in the area and we would highly recommend this outfit.
