About

Our boats are located at the peaceful and beautiful hamlet of Martham Ferry, within easy reach of Hickling Broads and Horsey Mere, offering some of the best sailing on the broads.

We overlook the stunning National Trust's wildlife reserve of Heigham Holmes featured in the BBC1 TV series Secret Britain.

We are ideally situated for exploring the 120 miles of beautiful waterways, that make up the Broads National Park. The scenery and wildlife are spectacular and have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

There are lots to entertain the whole family, on these safe, inland waters.

Check out our map to see all the villages and small towns to explore on your bareboat charter.

Most of the Norfolk Broads can only be reached by water and offer a slower pace of life so, put the clocks back, leave the 21st century behind, and enjoy a peaceful sailboat holiday on the Norfolk Broads.

Included in the cost of your sailboat hire are towels, luxury bedding, lifejackets, insurance, parking, diesel, and gas. We also provide a a 45-minute yacht familiarisation session and 45 minutes sailing with an instructor. The boat briefings are often cited as a standout feature; our guests appreciate the thoroughness of the briefing, and the knowledgeable and patient instructors.
