What do other people say about Tango from Le Boat Benson

I have been on many boating holidays, the Thames of which is my favourite, theres always plenty to do and see, overnight watering holes, the convienence of local towns for provisions and evening shore leaves. The locks are part of the attraction, they are always well maintained and helpful to novices, this year Ive noticed the locks are still mains powered even at lunch and evening times, which save the winding and allows further sailing times thus allowing you to travel further and see more of the river. Even in this country you can get away from it all, with the network of rivers or canals winding their way through the countryside and into towns without even seeing on car some days! The feeling of commanding your own ship gives you a sense of responsibility (although she thought I was more like Uncle Albert), and power, yet the tranquil soothing of the water relieves you of the day to day stresses, and as you are fairly confined to the barracks, the young and the old remix and become a team so the old family values come ‘flooding’ back!. Above all its not like caravaning in wellies, boats tend to have more room, modern facilities and you’re not stuck looking at the same four hedges on a rainy day.

What do other people say about Silver Melody from Silverline Marine

If you want the ultimate peaceful and relaxing holiday in the UK then the Norfolk Broads are a perfect choice. The service at the Silverline boat yard at Brundall was exemplary. The boats were immaculate and the staff are as good as you could ever wish for. I would only go to a different yard if there was a boat I wanted which Silverline didn’t have!
Mr S from Ringwood

Silver Melody is a lovely boat for two, beautiful and lovely to drive especially with the top down. Everyone we saw on our holiday was friendly and helpful.
Mr S from Worthing

The welcome and service that you get from the owners and their team at Silverline Marine to us is the best on the Broads. We have been holidaying on the Broads for the past 18 years and they exceeded all our expectations, now if we are on a two week holiday I would only use Silverline. Thanks for a great holiday as always!
Mr P from Gravesend

Our holiday was a nostalgic re-run of a holiday we had on the Broads 47 years ago and was every bit as good as we remembered. The boat and facilities were then very basic and nothing like they are today. We had a great holiday and hope to return next year!
Mr O from Norfolk

Thoroughly enjoyable, calming and relaxing with everything necessary on board.
Mr B from Rochester

The birdlife was amazing, and we saw many species of wader and other birds we had never seen, and we and spent a whole evening watching a Kingfisher flying up and down the river just a few yards from our mooring. Feeding cygnets, goslings and ducklings was a real pleasure and watching a flock of starlings at sunset was a special treat. There’s a great feeling of freedom and relaxation sitting on deck with the canopy down cruising at 5mph on a sunny day – the experience was excellent!
Mrs W from Truro

This was our 9th boating holiday and I have to say that the Silverline Marine Boatyard excelled itself, the standard of equipment and cleanliness of the boat was second to none [something I particularly look for]. The courteous and very friendly staff made the handover easy – I highly recommend cruising from this boatyard!
Mrs M from Grantham

I would definitely recommend a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads – very relaxing and great fun!
Mrs G from Fleet

Silverline Marine to us have been the most impressive boatyard we have booked our holidays with. All we can say is one great holiday!!
Mrs H from Belvedere

Excellent holiday and we won’t hesitate to use Silverline Marine next time!
Mr M from Croydon

I would certainly recommend a boating holiday on the Broads for total relaxation. The only thing to worry about was what to choose on the menus in the wonderful pubs we stopped at at meal times. We had a fabulous time.
Mr K from Wythenshore

A very enjoyable holiday, will certainly be going again.
Ms S from Brighton

Amazing holiday, true peace and quite, no traffic, phones or computers….my idea of heaven.
