							We used Wroxham Launch Hire for a corporate boat hire booking and they were extremely helpful and accommodating.  They went out of their way to meet our company's special requirements and were very approachable, professional and friendly.  We would definitely use them again.

							Wonderfully presented and prepared boats. Perfectly decked out for the day out. Equipment spot on and such friendly staff, who explained in great detail the workings of the boat. We will be back again. Thanks for making a great day wonderful!

							Polite staff member explained everything we needed to know about our picnic boat and provided a map with suggestions of where to go. We had a lovely afternoon on the broads and the staff member helped us to moor up when we returned. Highly recommended.

							Beautiful day on the broads We arrived a bit late for our time slot due to traffic but it was not a problem and we still got our 3 hours.  

Pleasant staff supplied us with life jackets and then gave us easy to follow instructions to use the electric boat. We took two small dogs with us who also thoroughly enjoyed their trip on the river. 

We had fantastic weather and stopped to get an ice cream from the ice cream boat that sails along the broads , perfect. 

Would highly recommend.

							We had a great experience - 11 of us (colleagues) on the 12-seat electric boat. Guidance and admin at the start was pitched just right - not lengthy or overbearing. Helpful with tips for driving (we'd done it before anyway), and assistance dropping folks off and mooring at the end. I really can't fault them.

							Efficient and safety-conscious boat hire for a great day out. We were 11 colleagues, most of whom had been on hire boats before, hiring a 12-seater electric launch. Wroxham Launch Hire made it easy to book, and were responsive when queries were made by email (I didn't need to phone but suspect that would also be good). On the day they were flexible (we started about 09:45) and very helpful: the admin was quick and easy, and the guidance and (especially) safety advice was pitched just right - nothing unnecessary. We were on our way surprisingly quickly (for a large party), with some good advice/tips about where to go, etc. When we returned (there was also an earlier drop-off for one of us), they were attentive and ready to assist with parking etc.
