Explore the Norfolk Broads’ Hidden Corners – Far from the Crowds
Start your Norfolk Broads adventure from our family-run boatyard on the Upper Thurne. Explore Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere and West Somerton without needing to pass through Potter Heigham Bridge.
Choose a traditional motor cruiser, sailing yacht or day boat and enjoy reed-lined waterways, wildlife and wide Norfolk skies at your own pace.
For holidays exploring further afield, bridge passage depends on your boat, water levels and available clearance. Our staff take our hired motor cruisers and sailing yachts through Potter Heigham Bridge when conditions allow, and can help you plan your route.
Our family has welcomed visitors to Martham Boats since 1946, sharing a love of traditional boats and this quieter corner of the Broads.
