Established in 1926, the Herbert Woods boat yard in Potter Heigham, has always been synonymous with quality and affordable holidays on the Norfolk Broads. To this day we pride ourselves in the quality of our boats, the skill of our craftsmen and level of customer service you will receive on arrival.

Today the boat yard is managed and operated by a professional team who are passionate about boating. They each treasure their own childhood memories of holidays spent on the broads and wish to preserve this experience for future generations.

CRUISERS

Enjoy the freedom and tranquillity aboard one of our cruisers exploring some of the 125 miles of waterways with extensive wildlife and ever changing scenery.  With a hire fleet of over 120 cruisers we can provide a boat to suit every budget, and with boats sleeping from 2 up to 12, we can cater for everything from a romantic break to a holiday with family or friends. We are continually striving to improve our current fleet and our team of boat builder’s work tirelessly to ensure every vessel provides a comfortable and well equipped environment from which you can begin your Broads adventure.
