Last minute availability and offers!

"Excellent day out. Staff were very accommodating."
- Robert L
"I popped in the previous day to make an impromptu booking as I was visitings Wroxham & it looked so nice seeing people on boat. The male member of staff I saw was nice & discussed my requirements (2 adults & 2 dogs) & he recommended an electric sun boat. He said they had availability (last one left!) for 10 am the following day for 4 hours so I booked there & then. Perfect! Although they were very busy when we arrived just before 10 am the next day (which was understandable), we were met with a young man who was very professional & set us up ready for the off. Love the paper with the map in it. The boat was lovely, very clean, quiet & new. Easy to drive (said hubby). Apart from the weather forecast being wrong (much cooler than forecast but clearly no one’s fault), we all had a great time & can’t wait to do all again."
