Questions about Josie 1
Do I need any boating experience?
No. Life jackets and a handover explaining the boat and its controls are included, and our first-timer guide shows exactly what happens on the day.
How far can we go in a day?
Our boatyard sits at the entrance to Candle Dyke. Hickling Broad and Horsey Mere are both about 45 minutes away by day boat, depending on your speed, leaving plenty of time to stop at the Pleasure Boat Inn or Horsey Windpump and be back by 4pm. These routes do not pass through Potter Heigham Bridge.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on our day boats free of charge. Please bring a dog buoyancy aid, as we can't supply them.
What should we bring?
Bring a picnic to enjoy on board, or plan a stop at a suitable visitor mooring. Our team can help you choose a route to suit your hire time and the conditions on the day.
