We are the only facility of our kind in East Anglia, providing a wide range of accessible boating activities, opportunities and experiences for our visitors. We are based at Neatishead in the Northern part of the Norfolk Broads.

We offer motor cruiser trips, sailing sessions, canoeing sessions, pedal launch experiences and Mega Paddleboard experiences. We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm and offer morning (10am to 1pm) or afternoon (1.30pm to 4pm) sessions. We take regular bookings (weekly/fortnightly preferred) or one off visits. We can arrange weekend sessions with prior sufficient notice and can often more flexible in timings at weekends, so bring a picnic and enjoy a day out!
