Connoisseur One-way

[webntweb]

Looking through a 1997 Connoisseur brochure I noticed they were doing one-way holidays between Wroxham and Brundall.

I had in the back of my mind that they had hired between Wroxham and Somerleyton, perhaps that was another company.

Also I seem to remember one-way holidays from Hearts in Thorpe to a northern boatyard.

Does anybody remember any of these or other one-way hires?

Yeah, they did and it was (relatively) recently. I don't think it was popular and they dropped it fairly quickly because I guess it was too much hassle.

Shame, as only doing the Breydon run once in a holiday would be quite handy.

I remember briefly in the mid 80s there was a one way option between Hearts at Thorpe and Herbert Woods. I think there was a small number of boats involved, possibly including the identical Knave of Hearts and Delight which were the Broom 30 variant with the different shaped windows.

I think Le Boat operated a one-way between Horning and Somerleyton in 2008/2009. At the time, as far as I remember, it rented part (maybe all) of the basin from Lord Somerleyton and workshops (was this Crown Blue Line at one time)?  Anyway, there were various issues and the service lasted only one season I think.

The earlier 90's one way was indeed Brundall, and was to Harbour Cruisers

Think this only lasted a year or two as well!
