With a fantastic coastline, canals and the Broads National Park, north Norfolk is ideal for exploring by boat. Take a skippered boat trip or go at your own pace and hire a day boat, cruiser or kayak.
Cruiser hire: If you're planning to hire a boat for a holiday or short break, you will find cruisers are ship shape for a comfortable stay. The well-equipped cruisers and yachts enable you to soak-up the tranquility, while taking your own route, under your own steam while enjoying relaxing meals on your own private boat. When you're ready for land, moor up for a waterside pub meal or stop off for an ice cream. Explore the area then hop back on board to start your journey to your next destination.
Day boat hire: Along the coast and throughout the Broads National Park, you will find day boat hire so you can have your own water adventure and independently explore the beauty of the Broads and waterways at your own pace. For a unique experience, you can hire kayaks, canoes and paddle boards to explore the canals and waterways around north Norfolk.
Guided boat tour operators: You will find guided boat tour operators along the Broads and also at Blakeney and Morston where you can visit the seal colony. Boat trips are the best, and safest, way to see the seals in their own habitat. The skippers of the boats can relay knowledge and stories along your travels while you take in the scenery. Find out about the seals, their pups and how Blakeney is home to the largest seal colony in England.
Skippered boats: Another way to explore the wilderness of the north Norfolk coast is on a professionally skippered traditional wooden fishing boat under sail where you can also enjoy wild swimming and even foraging for your own food! Let the wind power you along through the salt marshes and around the coast. Learn how to sail, try traditional smuggling techniques and even do an overnight sail.
