I like their thinking. Hire a boat that would be substantially more expensive than just buying bedding and pots and pans. Love the old photos of the yard back in the day before all the flash stuff.

Interesting thread, I do like to see a good discussion on the Thames. Ive just come back this week from another trip from Kris cruisers and you can't fault them. I find the Thames as a whole a more interesting waterway to the broads, there isn't a part I've passed through that I find boring like I do on some stretches of the Broads, and with a young family places like Windsor, Marlow, etc have so much more to offer than places on the broads. Even my girlfriend who hates the broads said how much she enjoyed it, so much so we are going back in April and I can't see us going back to the broads for the foreseeable. Le boat however looked awful. The repairs and maintenance they carry out are shocking and the general state of them I'd be horrified if I turned up to my holiday to find that.

Yeah still on the broads, was built by the same yard as forth bridge 2 back in the early 90s. Lovely looking boat but perhaps a little dated I side now.

Brilliant little boat this, hired her back in 2007 I think and still one of my favourites that Ive had. Not a fan of bathtubs or anything not dual steer but this boat was a cracker wouldn't think twice to book her again.

I may have slight fondness for this design. Hard not to when they are this damn fine to look at. If only there was a syndicated one.

This video of Caribbean doesn't seem to be uploading. Neither boat blew me away but if I was to choose I'd probably got for astral over carabrean. 5799220679411706896.MOV 5799220679411706896.MOV

Really interesting thread this. https://m.apolloduck.com/boat/alpha-craft-42/598982 I assume this is most likely an ex french boat possibly one you ran. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

These look so much sleeker than the ones alpha craft ran on the broads. When you say very little had to be changed inside was the original layout the saloon in the centre as opposed to more popular layout of saloon in rear. I did see one of these for sale a while back in Ireland that had a home bar added seem to be popular live aboard a. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Not that I know much about sunken boats but how was this declared a right off a d the silverline boat that sank at chedgrave and looked just as submerged wasn't. Brilliant story though I've often fancied a trip on the river Lot. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Although I still miss Thunder from time time I have to say how relieved I was able to sell before this all happened. I feel for all the current owners paying out for something they can't use. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app
