A holiday in Norfolk is not a glamorous break. While the Norfolk Broads of East Anglia are a beautiful part of the UK, they represent a relaxing rural getaway rather than a high-powered city-break. Although its reputation is mostly rural, with people associating the county mostly with the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, there are also towns such as Norwich and King's Lynn to visit, both of which provide shopping opportunities, nightlife and entertainment. Norfolk also contains a large stretch of coastline, and seaside destinations such as Cromer and Great Yearmouth mean there are great beaches to be found as well. Many areas of the Norfolk Broads and the coastal region are sites of outstanding natural beauty, and are also protected as bird reserves, so take a pair of binoculars on holiday. There are also popular wildlife attractions such as Banham Zoo, with a great collection of big cats, and Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the country, complete with tropical sharks and conger eels. And of course, if any of your family are interested in boating, you'll need to rent a boat and explore the waterways of the Broads themselves!

I bet you won't get a review as old as this! My family hired a boat from your yard in the early 60's (Sparkle 3 was the name of the boat) when I was about 11 years old. and I well remember it was one of my best holidays ever! Thank you! David Cutler

Norfolketc is a family-run, high-quality, recognised, watersports provider operating in the tidal wildlife haven of Blakeney Harbour, North Norfolk, England. Offering RYA Sailing and Powerboating courses,Sailing charters to the seals, Stand-Up Paddleboard and Bike hire, there is something for everyone! It was in the autumn of 2005 that we (James & Victoria Cowan) started our business, the aim; to create the most personal, approachable and finest sailing and powerboating centre you can find, offering professional yet relaxed tuition and boat charter. Sailing and being afloat in general is all about the elements; wind, water, tides and our natural environment. Although the technical developments in water craft have changed over the years it is the proximity to nature and that feeling of distancing oneself from the madding crowd that makes being in Blakeney Harbour so special. By using local and traditional boats, as well as those with a more modern design, we have created a business that complements the area we sail in and caters for a wide variety of sailing desires. The time you spend with us will be safe, fun, relaxing and tailored to your needs to create safe, enjoyable & unique sailing and powerboating experiences & qualifications.

Cycle Hire for all the family
We contacted the lovely team and were told to be there as close we could to 10am. They were brilliant, got us setup with 2 adult bikes and 1 junior. Provided helmets, locks, puncture repair kit. Gave us a map for a local ride. 15miles and we went up to Colitshall and had cake! And then on to Buxton. Unfortunately I had 2 punctures but all we needed was in the pack provided. Thank you! Great family friendly duo.

Absolutely excellent service. Recommend without hesitation. Robert was kind, considerate and very helpful. Went through the boat operation in detail ensuring we understood what to do especially if there was an emergency. Life jackets supplied and fitted. Couldn’t of done enough to ensure we were happy. First time on Norfolk Broads, definitely coming back to holiday again in the area and will without any doubt be seeing Robert and his team for another great day boating on the Broads using one of their fantastic boats. My thanks to all for a great day.
