About us

Welcome to Bank Boats

Our family run business has been based at the top of the beautiful River Ant since 1982, providing everything you need to make your experience the best it can be, either by canoe, kayak or all-weather self-drive motor launch.


And if you have your own boat, or run a hire business, owner Tony is a registered Gas Safe Engineer & Boat Safety Examiner, fully qualified to offer Boat Safety inspections, Gas Safe tests and to issue Landlords certificates, working on both privately owned boats and hire craft; while his wife Angie combines looking after customers with running our beautiful holiday homes next door – Wayford Bridge Granaries.

Day Boat & Canoe Hire

Motor or Paddle – You Decide

We’re available to help customers get the most out of their time the Norfolk Broads. You can choose to explore from either a self-drive day boat or in one of our kayaks or canoes. We have lots of local knowledge so can help you plan your route depending on what you would like to do; perhaps a leisurely cruise or paddle to spot local wildlife such as kingfishers and otters with a pretty place to have a picnic, or maybe you fancy a pub lunch somewhere with space for the children (and/or dog!) to run around and let off steam. The choice is yours, but we are happy to help make it happen.

Make sure your Boat is safe and legal!

We can carry out the regulatory Boat Safety and Gas Safe inspections, and issue Landlords Certificates to meet your insurance requirements, and enable you to toll your craft – all essential for you to use your boat on the Broads, and for your peace of mind.
