Summercraft is a lovely boatyard with extremely friendly staff.
Mr S from Orpington

Already looking to book again, a wonderful holiday we hope to repeat again soon. Relaxing, fun and overall just a great time.
Mr K from Norfolk

We had a great time, the people were really freindly and I would recommend the Bridge Inn at Acle to anyone visiting the area, the kids loved this public house and the staff were excellent.
Mr F from Sheerness

The Summercraft boats are always clean and well maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
Mr I from Selby

A truly idyllic holiday!

The holiday is so relaxing we struggle to remember what day it is, this in itself is everything we need. Without sounding too selfish we’d like to keep it to ourselves but I’m sure anyone trying it for the first time will have to return!

We took my dad who suffers from Dementia, and it proved a very worthwhile holiday for him.
Mr W from Barnetby

Yes I would. Although we had a breakdown, the marina provided excellent support.
Mrs P from Wokingham

We were “first timers” and we had a wonderful time. Our “city” family caught up in the never ending chaos of corporate life today never realised we could have such a fabulous and relaxing time in England. The people of Norfolk are truly genuine and wonderful. There was a smile and a friendly chat round every corner. We are already checking boats for next year.

What do other people say about Alpha Firefly from Alpha Craft

An excellent holiday. I really was able to wind down after a very hectic lifestyle and job. The boat was really good and I would recommend the Firefly boat – it sits quite high up in the water and we were able to get much better views than most boats.
Mrs M from Paignton

The adventure of being afloat was great. The lovely peacefulness, scenery and the wildlife were wonderful. Where else might you have cuckoos sitting in a tree next to you while looking at otters, waterfowl, nesting birds and predators? The friendliness and helpfulness of others on the water and local inhabitants made a welcome change from the normal bustle. It was a holiday out of the ordinary that gave us the opportunity to relax, put life in perspective and give us something to talk about for some time to come.
Mr H from West Molesey

It was our first time on the Broads and we strongly feel that whatever the weather, this is a fantastic holiday for all the family. The scenery was delightful, the wildlife fascinating and the pubs were warm and family friendly. We had a fantastic trip and can’t wait to do it again!
Mr G from Immingham

A perfect, relaxing holiday and friendly welcomes everywhere. Our boatyard staff were welcoming and helpful, and took time to make sure we were confident.
Miss P from Brough

Very relaxing and very enjoyable!
Mr M from Hucknall

I think it says it all when I say we enjoyed it so much we have already booked two holidays for next year, as well as recommending my daughter and partner who have also booked for next year. Thank you for a lovely holiday and look forward to seeing you next year!
Mrs H from Sheffield

I would recommend a boating holiday to anyone who requires a few days to “chill out.” The slow pace of travel and the tranquility of your surroundings certainly reduces the stress of modern day living.
