What do other people say about Silver Sirocco from Silverline Marine

For me there is no improvement needed, it was simply a perfect get away from the stresses of life. The boat was amazing and very easy to handle for a complete novice like myself. I look forward to my next holiday on the Broads as it was just perfect!
Miss L from Epsom

We have been holidaying on the Norfolk Broads over a period of 40 years. In the last 5 years we have been twice a year in spring and autumn. We have never had a bad holiday yet – superb!
Mr M from Helston

I would recommend the Broads as it almost enforces relaxation by the low speed limits and, if chosen – quiet mooring spots.
Mr P from Swindon

We have had many holidays afloat on the Norfolk Broads. On a score of 1 to 10, the quality and standards of both the boats and the service we received from Silverline Marine at Brundall comes very close to a perfect 10.
Mr R from Newquay

It is a very relaxing holiday, which is helped by being so close to nature.
Mrs G from Rye

First class service from arrival at Silverline. Boat and service excellent from start to finish. Will definitely be booking again with Silverline next summer if I can book in time. Many of their boats already booked for next year which is testament to the quality of the service and the boats.

A great experience and very relaxing. I would recommend this holiday to anyone wanting to get away from it all.
Mrs G from Trawden

Give the Norfolk Broads a chance – it will be one of the most enjoyable holidays you will take!
Mrs S from Oldham

A very relaxing and lovely way to spend a long weekend.
Mr R from Fleet

We had a wonderful boating holiday which will rate among the most enjoyable even in comparison with foreign travel!
Mrs M from Seaford

We would most definitely recommend this holiday to others. The pace of life just changes when meandering down the beautiful rivers with the scenery changing around every bend…and there’s always a wave from other boat users passing by. The only decisions we had to make were whether to moor up and lunch at one of the many pubs along the way or eat onboard!
Mr M from Seaton

I just loved the slow pace of the whole weeks holiday. I’d forgotten I even owned a car after the first half an hour out on the rivers.

What do other people say about Salhouse Moon from Moonfleet Marine Houseboats

We arrived early and allowed to take the houseboat early. A houseboat is a great inbetween a boat and a shore apartment, though has better facilities than a boat, but still floats and you have the benefit of having your car nearby to visit/explore the local areas. Also it is less expensive than boats, though it is difficult to beat full boating.
Mr B from Lancing

I would surely recommend this type of holiday on a houseboat, especially for the elderly because of the ease of access, and one level, and the experience of being afloat.
