							Loved every minute! 4hr self drive went really quickly. My dad, bf and I all had a go at steering and loved it. Very helpful and honest guide talked us through what we needed to know before launching. Highly recommend this company and the four hour trip.

							Great day out, highly recommend Wroxham Launch Hire We had a great time on the Norfolk Broads. We had a nice boat, well kept and clean.  Everything was explained clearly to us.  We have used Wroxham Launch Hire several times and always had a great experience.  It is such a fun day out. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you x

							Great family day out We hired a boat for 4 hours for 7 of us, including 3 young children. Customer service was excellent- easy to book online at a time that suited us, friendly helpful service when we arrived. The boat was clean and well maintained and easy to use.

							A great experience From booking to leaving the boat after the adventure, everything was very smooth. On arrival the guys were very friendly and reassuring. Everything was ready and after a simple, but comprehensive, briefing we were let loose with the boat. We hired a 9 seater picnic boat and did use the onboard facilities whilst we wended our way along the river. Saw plenty of wildlife and moored up at Horning for a quick walk through the village, really pleasant. Overall a great experience made special by the seamless process at the yard.

							Wonderful broads experience Great company. Swiftly organised paperwork, life jackets and safety briefing. Suggested route worked well. We saw 4 grebe, 5 herons and many ducks geese and swans. One duck joined us on board much to the shock of our dog!

							Brilliant company and staff! I phoned this company with a very bespoke request to help with a birthday surprise for my husband! They couldn’t have been more helpful and willing, going above and beyond to assist me with making the birthday mission a success! The team were super helpful, amazingly kind and I will definitely be using them again and recommending to others! Thank you Wroxham Launch Hire!

							Excellent customer service From booking to returning the day hire boat we were very impressed . Friendly efficient and flexible - they advised on the easiest  9 person picnic boat for my elderly parents to get on and off . Boat was very clean and well maintained  and staff gave useful local info in addition to usual boat instructions. Good value and they thought of everything - water for kettle, matches , nice crockery etc 

Will definitely use them again over the bigger boat  hire companies because of the excellent customer service .
