Welcome Aboard The Southern Comfort

Join our crew for a memorable river experience

The Southern Comfort is a double-deck paddle boat purpose built for the Broads with a capacity of 100 passengers for public trips or private hire. Our boat is a luxury river cruiser which runs regular trips from the beautiful village of Horning, along the River Bure through the village and out to Ranworth Broad and back, passing lovely old thatched houses, windmills and Norfolk reed beds. Throughout the trip there is excellent commentary and continual pointing out of all the wildlife around at the time. There is the ever present bustle of river traffic with cruisers, yachts and the occasional wherry.
