We hired a Skipper for 2 days and absolutely loved every minute!
We're not "boat people" and this was a first for us. The videos that the company sent us prior to collection were invaluable and the lad that showed my husband the controls was very helpful. It took a bit of time to get used to the handling but we soon got the hang of it.
The boat was perfect for 4. I think 6 people would have made it harder for us to relax quite so much! So handy having a toilet on board!
We cruised to Acle (pub looked lovely but we had a picnic). Plenty of free mooring on the left hand side. (£10 on the right)
We also tried twice to park at Ranworth but there was never any hope - boats were anchored in the Broad waiting for a spot. Also tried at Neatishead, but hardly any parking at all. That day we had no lunch! I would definitely recommend a picnic as mooring can be tricky!

We hired a Skipper boat for the day last week; there was free customer parking adjacent to the boats, and friendly, professional staff made sure we understood the basics before we set off - we had also watched the helpful online instructional video beforehand.
The boat was very well appointed and extremely comfortable for two people for a day on the Norfolk Broads; there was a kettle and a power socket for our electric cool box. The toilet was an essential facility, enabling us to stay on board all day. Steering and handling were straightforward, and everything about the boat was in excellent condition. Would definitely recommend Ferry Marina and will be hiring another boat from them next time we stay in the Broads.

Lovely day out with friends.
Dave was very helpful and so was the sales team, gave us a complimentary upgrade and the boat was well equipped and neat and clean.
The boat was fogged for infection control and was well furnished with adequate cutlery.
Thanks again

We hired a boat for the day from here, the bit was lovely, very easy to drive and control. The gentleman who met us was extremely pleasant and friendly and explained everything fully. Really enjoyed our day on the broads and Ferry Marina met all our expectations which they have in the past and fully expect we will be back sometime in the future to hire a boat from then.

Hired a day boat for half a day, fabulous new looking boat, well equipped.
Staff were warm, friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble! Really enjoy our trip up and down the broads. Highly recommend this company!

We rented a motor cruiser from Ferry Marina for one week.
The boat itself when we arrived was cleaned and ready to go. There were no 'extras', no discussions about additional insurance, etc it was truly one price for everything.
We had the 'Garnet Emblem' which was just the right size for the two of us.
The employees were fantastic and went the extra yard for us. One of the owners of the business even drove us into the village to get supplies before we left, as we didn't have a car.
The briefing about the boat before we left was thorough yet simple. For the week, everything worked fine on the boat and were pleased we could get the world cup on TV wherever we went.
They have a very large fleet of boats that they build and maintain themselves.

These guys were always very helpful, nothing was too much and would recommend them to anyone. Was very easy to fill the boat with water and get the waste emptied.

Great for all sorts of boat hire but the picnic boats give you the option to travel and have lunch encounter with stove and toilet

A well maintained marina with good facilities . There is a restaurant and a swimming pool on the site. Besides boats for hire there are a few holiday cottages to let year round. It's within walking distance to Horning where there are lots of places to eat. There is a pub near the Marina itself.
