Review of the Norfolk Broads boat Bella Donna

Positives: A beautiful, well fitted out boat that will be the envy of many other cruisers. She features elegant accommodation with a spacious permanently made-up walk around double bed and a private en-suite with separate toilet and shower cubicles. Driving is from the front of the boat in the saloon with a split sliding canopy over. There's good all around vision for the skipper, making this craft popular with first timers. Fitted with both bow and stern thrusters, and a reversing camera, you'll feel confident handling this cruiser. Forward and stern safety handrails complete the specification.

Negatives: Very few. Those used to the higher level viewpoints you get on dual steer and centre cockpit boats, will notice the lack of view over the reeds. Disappointing that at the time of writing, a microwave is not provided.

Bella Donna dimensions: 9.44m x 3.69m (31ft x 12ft 1in)
