DAY BOAT HIRE

SUP – Stand Up Paddle boardingStand Up Paddle boarding is an invigorating and widely diverse activity, which, like many other paddle sports, can form part of a healthy lifestyle and a means to meeting like-minded people.

Here at Martham Boats we run a SUP school to introduce people to the sport with fully qualified instructors. If you would like more information on our courses or would like to come and have a go, please give us a call at the office on 01493 740249, or send us an email to www.marthamboats.com.

Canoeing Canoeing / Kayaking on the rivers of the Norfolk Broads is a wonderfully fun and safe experience for both intermediate and novice canoeists alike. There is ample opportunity to explore the marvels of the River Thurne which leads you to both Horsey and Hickling Broad.

Whether you are a family, group of friends, an individual or even a corporate event, we can cater for your every need. All our canoes are designed to carry either 2/3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children and our kayaks are for 1 person. On arrival you will be issued with buoyancy aids and given a briefing on both safety and paddling techniques. Our canoes / kayaks can be hired from anything from 1/2 day to a week or more.

About happy days

features

Founded in 1946 and set in the very heart of the Norfolk Broads, Martham Boats is a traditional boat yard that hires traditional wooden cruisers, sailing yachts, half-deckers, bungalows, motor cruisers, canoes and day launches on the River Thurne.

Set in idyllic Norfolk Broads countryside,we offer a wide range of self catering accommodation from cosy riverside bungalows to the hire of traditional hand crafted timber and GRP Norfok Broads Cruisers and Sailing Yachts. Some of our traditional wooden boats were designed and built here at Martham by our dedicated team of Boat Builders back in the 1940’s/1950’s, and they have been constructed in a way that harmonises with the romantic views of the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk Broads and their wildlife.

Our boat hire fleet not only includes Norfolk Broads traditional wooden cruisers and sailing yachts, there is also a selection of electric launches/day boats, half deckers (day sailers) and canoes, which are available for hire for those who wish to spend a quiet day exploring our beautiful and safe rivers here on the Norfolk Broads.

Martham is on one of the quietest stretches of the River Thurne between Potter Heigham and Hickling. Our newly refurbished Quay Heading and river bank is a magnificent place for those who wish to moor their boat whether it be a day boat, sailing boat or broads cruiser. Along with moorings we have various facilities at our River Side Office which include showers, toilets, water, diesel, pump out facilties and car parking as well as our own slip way for those of you who wish to use it.

The Norfolk Broads are also world famous for fishing. From monster pike to perch and roach, many catch records have been set here. Our bungalows are particularly appealing to those that wish to fish from their own private area on the River Thurne whilst having all the comforts of home just a few yards away.

Fishing is not the only thing that the Norfolk Broads is world famous for. The nature reserves in the Norfolk Broads are spectacular for those who enjoy walking, rambling and hiking. Here you will find miles of country lanes to explore which lead you to hidden villages and plenty of pubs. Whilst walking you will have ample opportunity to carry out lots of bird watching and butterfly spotting. Over the last few years, many rare species of both birds and butterflies have been seen.

We occasionally email our newsletter which is full of great offers out to our customers. To sign up please email us.
