Review of the Norfolk Broads boat Brinks Emperor

Positives: This fuss-free, budget-friendly cruiser offers comfortable, straightforward living-perfect for a laid-back and sociable boating break. The spacious saloon features a large opening canopy, flooding the area with natural light and creating a bright, open setting for group get-togethers. Brinks Emperor is easy to handle, thanks to its slightly raised helm position. Designed with larger groups in mind, it's an ideal choice for two families or single-sex parties looking to explore together.

Negatives: Some of the berths are more for children, being shorter. It won't work if all occupants are adults. Steps up to and down from the raised saloon could be a problem for those who are less mobile.

Brinks Emperor dimensions: 14.63m x 3.73m (48ft x 12ft 3in)
