“Great boat, really friendly boatyard and lots of clear guidance, we had a great day out on the broads! We had an electric day boat and it was super quiet so will always be getting an electric one from now on. Managed to get from Martham to Horning and back within a day with time to stop off for lunch so definitely recommend

Electric boats are super!

“This is the best company to hire your boat from on the Norfolk Broads. An absolutely brilliant hire company who care about your day and experience. Beautiful well presented clean and tidy boats that are well maintained. Lovely staff that give you all the information on using the boat along with the hints and tips you’ll need to enjoy a great day on the broads and how to make the most of your day. Individual personnel service, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars isn’t enough. Will certainly be back next year.”

The day was absolutely brilliant.

“We hired the Comet - diesel picnic boat for the day and had a lovely day touring the broads. The boat suitably accommodated 7 adults and an infant. All the staff we spoke to were lovely and couldn’t be more helpful, especially with our elderly passenger. The day was absolutely brilliant! Thank you.”

12 person electric boat.

“We had a great afternoon on a picnic boat that we hired from Martham ferry boatyard. The boat was well equipped with a galley kitchen and a toilet.
The roof could be slid back on sunny days and there was plenty of seating area.
The staff were lovely and very helpful and the whole experience was well worth the money. Our grandson was over the moon to be able help “drive” the boat.
I can highly recommend it.”

Very good value, day boat hire Norfolk Broads

“We hired one of the large boats for a group of 9 of us, and all fit aboard comfortably. The staff were very helpful with arranging the booking, giving us instructions, and helping us moor at the end. The boat was in good condition. Very good value for money and we would happily go back again!”

Dogs friendly - Norfolk Broads day boat hire

“Beagle ahoy! We took out a self-drive motor boat on The Broads on Friday (birthday treat for my sister) - wonderful time had by all.

Poppy Tallulah Beagle was a star! If you’re looking for something to do with your Pooch, I can highly recommend Martham Ferry Boatyard. The owners, Nick & Alison, and worker Rob, are all fabulously friendly & super helpful. Full instructions given & life jackets provided........even for the hound ⚓️

We took the Orbit 6 seater out for 2hrs. It was so peaceful & therapeutic (apart from when I had to ‘park’ at the end ) We shall return on another visit to Norfolk”

“We rented a small electric day boat for two hours, and thoroughly enjoyed gliding serenely on the peaceful water. No-one about apart from a couple of fishermen and the birds. Delightful. An experience to be repeated. The friendly and informative service we received from beginning to end was excellent.
Thank you, Wonderful! We will be back.”

Dog friendly day boats near me.

“Did a half-day in one of the Rocket boats with five small dogs. Thoroughly enjoyed driving the boat, it was very quiet, had a little hob, kettle, and toilet, dogs were kitted out with life jackets and so much wildlife to see. Really friendly staff, and great communication, highly recommend them.”

Potter Heigham Day Boat Hire

“Excellent value for money for a family afternoon out. We had an experienced skipper with us, but the lady who gave us a rundown on boat safety and how it works was very thorough and answered all our questions. We only had a 2-hour slot, but it was plenty enough to ride out to Potter Heigham for some lunch. I definitely recommend it, and we’ll be back.”
