Londonlad1985 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Less than a week to go before I'm back out and afloat! My sister organised this week long jaunt and we take Broadland Breeze out on Monday the 5th. After a hectic few weeks at work I cannot wait!! Any comments/ thoughts would be welcome! I hired San Rafeal last year with some mates for the weekend so I'm expecting similar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi Londonlad, I've not hired it but I have been aboard. I think they're good value for money boats. They're narrow and less spacious than the forward steers for the same money (eg Gold Gem, San Carlos) but you're getting a centre cockpit boat with its benefits of open air helming and visibility.

Londonlad1985 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 It's definitely what I'd call a budget boat for price. San Moritz (not San Rafael) was comfortable for 5 lads - and I'm hoping for the weather so we can get the roof down! I'll do a bit of a blog and let you know how I get on! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 We had Broadland Mercury a couple of years ago & think it was the cheapest boat on hire but it was fantastic, old yes but well maintained and had everything we needed so I'm sure you'll be fine on Breeze Have a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonlad1985 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Currently sitting outside the Lord Nelson in Reedham. Been out for 4 nights and Impressions of Broadland Breeze are great! I'll do a full blog when I'm back. Thanks for all your input. Back up north later give me a wave if anyone is out and about. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Is it Broadland Breeze 3 as we have it this Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real negative Is there are no windscreen wipers. It's an old boat but Richardson's keep it in good nick. If anyone is sleeping in the saloon it can be a bit drafty a night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
