Day Cruiser & Canoe Hire

No Broadland holiday is complete without a trip on the river to explore the famous Norfolk & Suffolk Broads.

Whether you are resident on-site or visiting for the day, Waveney River Centre is an ideal departure point for a day on the river. 

If you prefer the more tranquil waters of the southern broads then Waveney River Centre at Burgh St Peter is an ideal starting point, with the pretty market town of Beccles just 1.5 hours upstream and Oulton Broad with its large children's park about 20 minutes downstream. Somerleyton with its famous stately home and maze, and the riverside village of Reedham are other popular destinations within an hour's cruise.

We have a range of vessels to suit most budgets and requirements, from rowing boats and canoes to luxury day cruisers with galley, WC and cabin - many of which have been built on-site by our craftsmen here at Waveney River Centre. Buoyancy aids and fuel or paddles are included in the price and you will be given tuition before setting off on your adventure.

The Broads Authority have produced an excellent video guide to boating on the broads, covering an overview of the Broads as a boating holiday destination through to detailed instruction and guidance on boat handling. The guide is available for viewing here.
