Why Choose a Last-Minute Broads Holiday?

A boating holiday is one of the easiest ways to properly switch off. Your accommodation travels with you, your view changes every day, and there’s always somewhere new to explore.

You can spend your days cruising gently through the Broads, spotting wildlife, visiting riverside pubs and villages, or simply enjoying the calm of life afloat. No fixed itinerary. No rush. Just your own floating holiday home and the freedom to choose your route.

Our team will make sure you’re shown how everything works before you set off, so even if it’s your first boating holiday, you’ll be in safe hands.

Bring the Dog Too

Your dog does not need to miss out on the adventure. Dogs are welcome on all Barnes Brinkcraft hire boats, so the whole crew can enjoy time on the water together.

The Norfolk Broads are a great choice for a dog-friendly break, with fresh air, riverside paths, quiet moorings, welcoming pub gardens and plenty of new smells to investigate. Pack the lead, a towel for muddy paws, and perhaps a little patience if your dog decides every picnic stop is really for them.
