COMMODORE from Richardsons Boating Holidays of Stalham

First and foremost - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE The third boat review of Easter 2019 and a personal take of this very popular type of craft as hired by friends of ours. I nearly hired one myself but as an old hand at hiring on the Norfolk Broads, thought better of it. For me, the lack of a rear view when using the main helm was an issue. Yes, there is a flying bridge, but as our friends found, at the start of the week it was way too cold to use it and by the end of the week they were all burnt from the sun...so didn't want to use it as there is no shade. Another drawback on this type of craft that I failed to mention, it won't go under a number of bridges and therefore you will miss out on some very scenic parts of the Broads. Also, one of the crew became very sea sick although had never experienced this on previous outings on a boat. She discovered that if she stood up in the main saloon she could see out and that prevented the sickness but if she sat down, the windows are so high that she could not see out very well and that kicked off the sea sickness. The lounge was also small and cannot seat and full crew and there is very little work surface in what is a very small kitchen, so preparing food onboard was difficult. Other than that, the crew had a great holiday and why not...its the Norfolk Broads after all :)
