What do other people say about Opal Emblem from Ferry Marina

Very relaxing and peaceful.
Mrs L from Hastings

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, she also amazed me with her boat handling flair – we will do it again!
Mr I from Brentwood

I would definitely recommend to other couples or families with slightly older children. We found the holiday extremely relaxing and really enjoyed pottering along the river.
Miss E from Harrow

Because it was quiet and the majority of people were friendly and willing to lend a hand with mooring etc.
Miss E from Wells-Next-The-Sea

A brilliant holiday, very relaxing and everyone you meet is very friendly, the Broads are getting cleaner and there is a great deal of wildlife (otters)
Mr W from Banff

Great boat , great break and great value for money!The Norfolk Broads are quite special and I’d say a unique UK destination. The wildlife is diverse , the environment is beautiful and the rivers a place of pleasant camaraderie.We rented the Opal Emblem and had a fantastic short break in October. From the moment we arrived to leaving we thoroughly enjoyed our break. Made all the more special by the staff and the people of the broads. The Ferry Marina boat yard facilities were very good and even had a swimming pool. Ian gave us our helpful relaxed induction which included local information and tips on spotting Kingfishers , ( these tips were highly successful with pictures to prove it). The bonus wildlife experience was sightings of otters!!! The Opal Emblem is not a young boat but has everything you need and excellently maintained. The floatation aids provided were discrete and uncumbersome. We noted that of all the hire boats on the broads this stylish looking craft created the least wash. The information pack on board covered everything we needed to know and well worth a good read. We would use the same company again and take the wider family next time. AdviceA weekend is not enough to explore all that the Broads have to offer but a great break nonetheless! Take a sleeping bag for extra warmth in the potential cold nights of autumn. The smaller Broads are quiet and beautiful, great places to soak up the wildlife. I think it was Ranworth broad that had a tourist information base, a shop, cafe, public mooring and lots of facilities.We did not have the boat to explore beyond the river banks, so can not comment on any of the tourist attractions… this trip for us was simply a river and wildlife experience and we covered all we wanted and more.I hope you enjoy your experience as much as we did!
M from Heywood

Driving the boat is extremely relaxing and sitting watching the sun go down over the reed beds is sheer bliss
