What do other people say about White Champagne from Richardsons Cruisers

Get used to the boat and then enjoy a peaceful, relaxing holiday, feeding the ducks and swans and having great fun at the same time. Its rather like extremely posh camping – both our girls (13 and 15 years old) said they would love to do it again, and they are not outdoor type people. Everybody had a fantastic holiday – we would recommend it.

What do other people say about Golden Emblem from Ferry Marina

Oulton Broad is well worth visiting and passing through Breydon Water isn’t as scary as you think! We gad a nice meal at the Old Inn in Horning itself but just mooring up in the middle of nowhere and cooking for yourself is fantastic!
Mr H from Lancaster

We stayed on the Golden Emblem for a week and had a fantastic time. The boat was spotless and the staff at Ferry Marina were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this boat and marina again. A very relaxing holiday for the whole family.
Mr N from St. Andrews

I would recommend Swan Craft the boat we had Swan Rapier was everything we thought it would be in terms of layout and fittings and presented in a very tidy manner. We have had a break every year for the passed 5 years on the Norfolk Broads (only 45 mins drive from our home) this years was the best by far due to the type of boat I would also like to mention the Staff at Swan Craft were very welcoming and helpful in getting us underway in good time.
Mr W from Stowmarket

This was was our first boating holiday and we had a few best ever holiday moments. The cruiser had the best ever kitchen, where else can you cook with perfect sunsets shimmering across the water outside your kitchen window. It was a similar story with the dining area and eating alfresco on the top deck at sunset, no restaurant in the world could offer such a beautiful setting.We are now hooked on boating and are already planning to come back next year.
Mr D from Chinnor

The boat was really well equipped and comfortable. We chose the holiday to get away from every day stresses and strains and therefore moored away from the crowds. We enjoy cooking healthy and tasty meals and having a well equipped boat was really important to us. We did take our own wok, home grown vegetables and herbs and enjoying the results at sunset! Others may choose to experience a more social experience, however the choice is one of the best parts. It’s possible to tailor your perfect holiday to your particular taste.

What do other people say about Crystal Emblem from Ferry Marina

This was our first time on the Broads (or any boating holiday) and therefore we decided on a short break, however we all (my partner, two kids 11 and 8, and me) thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the holiday including the relaxing sailing up and down the Broads, the hospitality and good food at the local pubs and restaurants and the friendly people. We are already looking to book for next year, but this time for a week to allow us to venture onto the Southern Broads.
Mr H from Barnsley

Completely relaxing!
Mr D from Lossiemouth

The Broads were fantastic – the good weather obviously added a lot to the experience. The handover was excellent and although initially daunted by the boat we soon became confident in most manoeuvres!The boat was well equipped – everything we needed. I would recommend spending time planning your route/stops on the Broads to get the most out of it – we loved the quiet backwaters, not the busy little towns.
Mr R from Hove

Fantastic time –amp–amp; relaxing together.
Mr W from Horsham

Definitely recommend a boating holiday on The Norfolk Broads to experience a slower pace of life. We’ll certainly return at some point.
Mrs O from Worcester

as busy or laidback as you want to make it. something different to see and do everyday.easy to drive and moor, even for first timers (like us).would recommend anyone to give it a try
