Review of the Norfolk Broads boat Elite Gem
Boat Name Elite Gem
Boatyard Richardsons Boats
Sleeps 5
Positives: Elite Gem is a budget forward drive boat with a full sliding canopy over the saloon, allowing open-air cruising and dining alfresco. There's two made up double cabins with ensuite shower rooms and one converting settee single berth in the saloon. The craft is all on one level, and the front and back access doors make this boat desireable for the less mobile.
Negatives: Elite gem is just an older budget boat with few bells and whistles. Be aware that your side view over the reed-fringed banks on forward drive cruisers is limited. This is the trade-off for more headroom at bridges across the Broads.
Elite Gem dimensions: 9.75m x 3.66m (32ft x 12ft)
