We are pleased to let you all know that we have recently got the keys to the former alpha craft site in Brundall, with a big thanks going to James and all at Norfolk yacht agency for working with us.

We are looking for a new team of boat builders to work alongside our small team, great rates of pay and benefits are available for the right applicants, if you or you know anyone interested please drop us a quick email with a brief description of capabilities to broadsboating@outlook.com to arrange a chat!

NeilB Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Nice to see another yard down south and building new boats. Wonder what will happen with Acle now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Possible option of one-way cruises ? Brundall to Acle or vice versa not far by road!! Jeff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davydine Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Nice to see a new yard and a new builder on the southern rivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham47 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I was under the impression from previous information that the NYA were going to develop the moorings to suit their boat brokerage business and that a third party would would be sought to use the buildings for other suitable uses. I am not sure from information available so far that there will be an active boat hire business operating from the yard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatingman Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 There statements says maintenance and building not hire NYA have a planning application in to incorporate the moorings in the basin into there adjacent site I would assume they have let the sheds and dyke moorings to Broads Boating Co 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm also hoping that perhaps there will eventually be a new hire business on the southern side although it doesn't mention that. My impression from what I have read of their first season running out of Acle has been that they care about good customer service. So it will be nice to see if they can grow and I am interested to see what their new builds turn out to be like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 May be wrong but I thought Brinks,had the moulds.As someone based in Brundall I am pleased the yard and moorings will come back to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 This is good news for all. Hope they sell fuel and do pump outs, sometimes the pump at Brooms gets crowded with big boats who take ages to fill up. Another fuel retailer would make life easier and provided competition for lower prices. (maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 well hopefully there will be a big boat in there today filling up (Independence) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meantime Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 For those with big tanks based in the Brundall area there is also the NYA fuel club. You pay an annual membership fee and get issued with a fob. You can then fill up 24hrs a day using the fob and get a highly reduced rate. The pump is linked to the office for automatic billing and it is assumed that you will be declaring the 60/40 split. The membership fee is £250 per year, and I don't know the current discounted price, so have no idea how much you need to purchase to save money, but the 24hr availability is convenient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 That Might be a good solution for Robin, I would imagine you would have to be using hundreds of litres a year to recoup the cost of the membership though, mind you, that could just be a day trip for Robin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they also have a cruise in company club that does trips to places such as Southwold. Not sure if that is only open to people who have, or are thinking of buying from them, but again Louise is the person to contact. https://www.nya.co.uk/fuel-club/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
