Details
For the independent explorer who wants to discover the Broads at their own pace, Broads Tours operates a fleet of self-drive day boats and day cruisers.
Our standard day boats seat up to eight people, are simple to operate and have a canvas cabriolet style cover to protect you from the elements. They are available to book in advance for a full or half day - or by the hour on a first come, first served basis at our ticket window. Current minimum hire is 3 hours due to additional Coronavirus sanitation regime - 2 hour minimum after 3:00 pm. Standard day boats are available for hire between 9am and 5.30pm. Please book online to avoid disappointment.
Wheelchair Access
We have one standard day boat fitted with a wheelchair lift. Max weight 300kg. This boat seats up to 5 people, and is available for a minimum hire of 3 hours.
Suggested hire times 10am - 1pm or 2pm - 5pm
Pre booking is essential for this boat. Extra assistance is available. Please book online to avoid disappointment.
Day Cruisers
Our day cruisers seat up to eight people and are equipped with a toilet and galley containing a two-ring hob, grill and fridge. A split sliding canopy over the seating area allows alfresco dining on sunny days and, if the weather isn’t so good, day cruisers benefit from warm air heating. Day cruisers are available for full day hire only (10am – 5pm) and pre-booking is essential. Please book online to avoid disappointment. * Note: as a coronavirus precaution, there are currently no cooking utensils, cutlery or crockery provided on board - so please bring what you need to enjoy your day.

Large Electric Boat has seating for up to 11 people. Electric propulsion provides a quiet and environmentally friendly alternative to the diesel engine. Available for a full day hire only (9am - 5pm). Please book online to avoid disappointment.
