Richardson's Cruisers at Stalham Marina

About

If you’re looking for something truly unique, why not consider a boating holiday along the beautiful Norfolk Broads? The unique sights, rare wildlife and exciting attractions make for the perfect family-friendly holiday. 

Richardson's has been offering boating holidays on the Norfolk Broads for 80 years, and in that time we’ve gathered plenty of expertise to help you plan your perfect Broads getaway. 

Our fleet of more than 210 boats is the largest on the Norfolk Broads and has something to suit everybody. They all come equipped with a fridge, cooker, TV, shower, toilet, bedding, warm air heating, Wi-Fi and hot and cold water. We have many dog-friendly options too! 

If you’ve never sailed before, you’ll be pleased to know you don’t need a licence to drive a boat and no experience is necessary. When you arrive at Stalham Marina, you will be given a full demonstration and a trial run to ensure you are comfortable driving and mooring the boat. You’ll also be given a manual with safety reminders, useful information and instructions on operating your cruiser. 

As our holidays are self-catering, you’ll need food, drink and cleaning materials (unless you are planning to stop off at some of the fantastic broadside restaurants, cafés, pubs, shops and delis).  

Our visitor information app will help you get the most out of your boating holiday, with information on attractions, events, places to eat, local shopping, wildlife and more. You can download it from our website.

 

The Norfolk Broads are a truly unforgettable holiday destination – whether you’re interested in visiting some of the area’s top attractions, spotting rare wildlife or learning about the Broads’ rich heritage. 

You can travel about 30 miles per day aboard your cruiser, so during a break of one week or longer any point on the navigable Broads is within reach. 

You could explore our founder Robert Richardson’s original Broads boating route down to Beccles, or take the seven-night Town and City Route and explore the Broad’s surrounding towns, villages and the fine city of Norwich. There are also several dog-friendly routes. All these and more can be found on our website. 

There are plenty of wonderful stops to visit on your holiday, but our top moorings include Wroxham, known as the capital of the Broads, and the town’s sister village Hoveton where there are lots of shops and attractions to be found. 

Nearby Horning also has some wonderful shops, restaurants and tea rooms, and the lively Pleasure Beach at Great Yarmouth is always worth a visit. There is even a public mooring just 30 minutes’ walk from the beach at Great Yarmouth Yacht Station.
