About

Norfolk Broads Direct is one of the Broads National Park's leading premium charter boat holiday operators, offering luxury self-drive holidays aboard a fleet of 59 modern cruisers from our marina at Wroxham, the capital of the Norfolk Broads.

Our story began in 1878 when local boatbuilder John Loynes established the business on the banks of the River Bure. More than 145 years later, while our boats and facilities have evolved significantly, our commitment to exceptional customer service, quality craftsmanship and memorable holidays remains unchanged.

Today, our fleet is among the most modern and highly specified on the Norfolk Broads, with luxury cruisers accommodating between 2 and 11 guests. Continuous investment ensures our boats deliver the comfort, reliability and contemporary features expected by guests, whether they are first-time visitors or experienced boaters.

From spacious saloons and fully equipped galleys to bow and stern thrusters, warm air heating and onboard entertainment systems, our cruisers are designed to provide a relaxed and enjoyable experience on the water throughout the boating season.

A boating holiday offers a unique way to discover the Broads National Park, allowing guests to explore peaceful waterways, abundant wildlife, picturesque riverside villages and welcoming waterside pubs. 

Norfolk Broads Direct also offers a selection of waterside holiday homes overlooking the River Bure in Wroxham.
