Found the company really friendly on the phone. Helped in sorting the perfect boat for us. Booked on phone with quick conformation email. Arrived and greeted by smiles and on the boat within 20mins after safety talk etc. Had rocket 1 for 7hrs. Time went so quickly and loved every minute. Elec boat was so peaceful as well.

Booked for my sons birthday treat. It was 5 hours on a cruiser boat. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We had lots of fun. It had a toilet on it. A kettle. The boat was full electric and it was easy to drive. Lots of birds to see lots of waterways to discover. We had very nice time. The staff were so helpful and we thoroughly had a great day. I highly recommend a great day out

Great experience with super helpful staff . Our boat was lovely clean and well equipped. Booked as a last minute thing and really enjoyed our 3 hour hire enough to get up to hickling broad and potter heighham (aswell as mooring up twice) thank you

Phenomenal day, we had the Rocket1 for 4hr hire. Managed to go everywhere we wanted. Enjoyed an amazing afternoon on The Norfolk Broads. Saw some amazing wildlife, only missing was the sunshine. One word of advice - try to ensure you have 2 people capable of mooring 😅 makes life so much easier !!!

We really enjoyed our boat hire, staff were friendly, the place was easy to find and there was free parking. There is a little coffee stand and toilet facilities at the reception although I didn't use these.
The hire price was pretty reasonable at about £75 for 2 hours for the Lady Jean.
The boat was clean and had bench seating, two more comfortable seats up front, and you could also perch on the back of the boat.
You can open or close the roof depending on weather.
It was very easy to drive.

Did a half day hire in one of the rocket boats with our 5 small dogs. Thoroughly enjoyed driving the boat, it was very quiet, had a little hob, kettle, toilet, dogs were kitted out with life jackets and so much wildlife to see. We didn't moor anywhere on this trip but next time would do a day's hire and stop off for lunch somewhere.
Really friendly staff, great communication, highly recommend them.

Well, what can I say? If you’re looking for a top-notch boating experience on the Norfolk Broads, look no further than Martham Ferry Boat Hire. These folks have absolutely nailed it. Clear directions on their website, prompt email communication and parking on site!

First off, let’s talk about the boats—clean as a whistle and unquestionably reliable. Ours even had a toilet on board, which, let’s be honest, is a bit of a game-changer when you’re out on the water. No awkward pit stops or frantic paddling back to shore.

The service? Professional to the core, yet wonderfully accommodating. The team there gave us the most thorough and comprehensive instructions I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving. They’ve clearly got the whole “setting you up for success” thing down to an art form. And if you’re worried about getting lost, don’t be! They provide excellent maps and even throw in some stellar recommendations to boot.

Now, navigating the boat? A doddle. Seriously, even if you’ve never set foot on a boat before, you’ll be cruising along with confidence in no time. The folks at Martham seem to be very proud of their boats and their service—and rightly so. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into what they do.

We had a 7 hour experience in the apologies, 8of us with our dog and 3 pub stops on the way. Mooring is tricky but we welcomed the challenge after all that easy sailing.

All very reasonably priced for the quality of the experience. So, if you’re in the mood for a bit of nautical adventure or a broad based therapeutic experience then this is the one 👍🏽

We turned up having booked a small dayboat, they kindly upgraded us to a picnic boat as it was raining which was very thoughtful. Great service, nice clean boat with a clear handover and lots information to help us navigate safely. Highly recommended
