About
We are a traditional 'family oriented' boatyard on the beautiful Norfolk Broads with over 80 years experience in this field. Our services are, 2 hour skippered sailing for up to 4 people per boat, so you can 'have a go' or hone existing skills - RYA Sailing Tuition for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels, which also includes Learn to Sail Holidays - Cabin Yacht hire, some with 'electric quants' (see our website for more info on those) are available as 2, 3 or 4 berth boats - Half Decker (day boat) hire for solo sailors on our single sail balanced lugs. If you need something a little larger why not try some our gunter rigs with mainsail and jibs like Sundew or Buff tip. Perhaps you're a more experienced skipper who is looking for something a little faster? We have the only 2 Rebels on the Norfolk Broads for hire. These girls are high performance boats and in the 'right hands' can give an exhilarating sail.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I enjoyed a very nice 2hr skippered sail yesterday, and would highly recommend. The boat was one of the lovely Rebel class that Hunter's Yard operate, which as a long term dinghy sailor I found fast and fun but also relaxed to sail. Ezra looked after me, trusting me to helm, and very helpful sharing his knowledge and with the transition to keel boats. A friendly welcoming boatyard, with a fleet of well maintained historic boats. I am already looking forward to going back next year.

Thank you to all the friendly staff at Hunters Yard who made our trip so enjoyable.
The boats and equipment are kept in excellent condition.
Steve our skipper was brilliant, so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We had 2 hours experiencing the wonderful sailing of these traditional boats on the broads.
We will definitely be back again.

Just been on a weekend Friday to Sunday night trip with my wife and loved it, highly recommended to all

The rigging looks daunting, but just pay attention and rig it yourself, the guys in the yard are great, the sailing looks challenging (I'm a sea sailor) but loved it after an hour, great pubs and places to stay

Beautiful countryside, give it a try! And Dan super helpful in the office

Our 2023 midweek cruise on the Broads on Hustler 3 again a great success: The Hunters Yard team take great care of their boats and their customers -faultless, the atmospherics of sailing the Broads has to be experienced first hand and no better way to do it. We experienced in a day everything from full breeze sailing to picking out the zephyrs between the trees from Potter Heigham to Malthouse Broad to Barton Turf - another great trip.
We love the Hustlers for their agility and liveliness, being very well behaved and predictable, and as quick as any, great tacking up narrow waterways, recent addition of auxiliary electric drive means sticky situations and low bridges become very manageable literally at the press of a button, taking away anxiety some might otherwise feel. Thank you Hunter's Yard!

Booked the 2 hour skippered sail for my family (2 adults, 2 children 10 & 6) as my eldest had been reading the Swallows and Amazons series and wanted to sail. Our skipper Steve was fantastic, taught us what we needed to know, let the children have a go on the tiller, engaged with them in their endless chatter etc. Steve was very knowledgeable and also friendly. We really enjoyed our trip.
The staff in the yard were friendly and helpful too, easy to park and toilets on site too. A collection of information and boats to view inside too

Our trip around the extraordinarily beautiful broads on a traditional wooden sailing boat was fabulous. The boat was well prepared for us with a welcome pack and comfortable bedding. The electronic quant was a great addition, allowing us to easiliy keep moving when the wind was against us.

Thank you so much for the memorable day you put on for The Arthur Ransome Society on Wednesday. We sailed two lovely open sailing boats and Titmouse from the films of the Broads books. You couldn't have made us more welcome and were discretely helpful when we couldn't get back through a crowd of Hullabaloos. We also looked round a Teasel lookalike.
