    Hired a Sandpiper cruiser from Blakes in Aug 2008, costing £1400 for 1 week! This "cruiser" had 4 star rating, like previous review, I wouldn't even give it 1/2 star! The interior was dark, dingy, outdated, scruffy. The 2 double beds had double duvets crammed into single covers! Pillows were like rocks, the toilet was a joke, the "shower" was even worse, warm for 10 seconds then icy for the rest! We took the boat back a day early, I think the boatyard employees were shocked. This boat needs sinking, if you are thinking of hiring it DON'T it was appalling. NEVER AGAIN.No wonder there were no interior pics in the brochure!

    Booked a 2 week holiday and abandoned after a week of hell with persistant trouble with boat breaking down. After 5 days cruising boat had to be fixed 5 times.

    The boat was disappointing to say the least. The cleanliness of the boat in general left a lot to be desired. The windows were filthy. The crockery needed washing before we could use it.

    The furniture and woodwork were tatty and battered. The outside of the boat was just as bad. It was the worst looking boat on th ...

    Spent a week on a 44 ft boot. This was our first ever time on a boat so as you can imagine it was quite a challenge. The instruction we got was minimal and did not really prepare us for the experience. However we had a great holiday, 5 adults and one child. Some of the waterways are extremely beautiful and peaceful even in August when we went. Cooking on board was brilliant, bacon sandwiches each morning whilst cruising down the broads - brilliant. Our only gripe or struggle was parking th ...
