Another couple of our Google reviews this week:

"Absolutely amazing. The best day I hire , I would say on the broads an amazing people there. The owners are amazing, very, very kind staff and they help me. Then I choose the boat and sort everything else out absolutely amazing way better to go somewhere like that than somewhere like Richardson's or Herbert woods where the big hire companies, but it's nice to go somewhere where, you know. It's more small family owned to a place Absolutely, amazing days or loads of wildlife. And I think with the electric boat , you see more a lot more than the diesel , absolutely amazing will come back" - John B

"Compared with some this is a small-scale boatyard in a lovely spot with plenty of parking just south of Stalham. Booking is easy, prices are competitive and the staff are as friendly and helpful as can be. If you value personal service and want a lovely day out on the Broads (weather permitting), this is definitely the place to come (and there's a pub for coffee, drinks, food etc right next door)." - Andrew D

Here is a lovely TripAdvisor review and photos from Lyn who recently enjoyed a Trip on Rippling Waters - one of the Sutton Staithe Boatyard Electric Picnic Boats:

"Great experience, great team!
Today we took out one of their electric picnic boats and had a fantastic time. We took our picnic basket loaded with goodies. The boat was amazing had kettle, hod, sink and even a well appointed toilet. There was a table that just slotted in at the front, great for alfresco dining and there was lots of room outside at the rear. Plenty of seating. What made it even nicer is the Sutton Staithe Boatyard staff. Booking was easy, parking is on their site was good. They explain everything helping you on board and helping you when you return. No problems, no fuss, no hassle just very professional. We will definitely be back. Thank you
Insider tip:
Take your own cutlery and cups. Loads of seating, easy to moor up. They give you a great map so you have all the times and what’s where." - Lyn
