Due to adverse weather conditions and high spring tides which can occur early/late
season we list below ‘tips’ which may prove of assistance to you.

1. We strongly advise you to moor your boat at a public staithe or a public house, near roads or at boatyards (do not wild moor) so in the unlikely event of a problem with your boat you will be easily accessible for assistance.
2. We strongly advise you not to cruise further south on the River Bure than Stokesby. This is an area of very strong tides and lack of facilities. Please note that the yacht stations at Great Yarmouth and Norwich will not be open until the 28th March 2026.
3. For your safety, and the safety of others, it is strictly prohibited to attempt passage under Potter Heigham Bridge due to height restrictions and tidal waters, and doing so may result in serious damage or injury. Compliance with this requirement is a mandatory part of your hire agreement. 
4. For safe passage under Wroxham Bridge, all hire boat guests must use our exclusive pilotage service. This service is mandatory and must be prebooked by contacting us on 07535 673 170. Our expert team will ensure your safe passage under the bridge. Due to height restrictions and tidal waters, attempting passage without our pilotage service is strictly prohibited and may result in serious damage or injury. Compliance with this requirement is a mandatory part of your hire agreement. Please note that the final decision to pass under Wroxham Bridge rests solely with our expert team, who will assess prevailing conditions to ensure the utmost safety for all.
5. Always run your engine either in or out of gear for at least four hours a day to charge the batteries and be sparing with domestic light and power.

We hope these ‘tips’ are of assistance to you.
Please refer to your boat manual for detailed information and boatyard contact numbers if required.

Please do not hesitate to ask for advice or extras before your journey, i.e. bedding etc.
We will only be too pleased to assist you.
