Guide To Oliver’s Sailing Holidays

Managed to book Sea Breeze at short notice for a 4 day midweek break. The boat is excellent, traditional Broads gaff rigged two berth but with all mod cons, including near silent electric motor auxiliary drive. Perfect for ghosting the narrow channels when the wind is on the nose.

The quality of the little things, bed linens, galley equipment a welcome pack, all set Oliver’s apart from other yards. Handover was efficient, friendly and the very knowledgable staff are willing to help whether you need a brief refresher on Broads Sailing or more guidance. Thoroughly recommended.

Hired the 25ft Sea Breeze, beautiful boat and fully equipped. “Raising the roof” and using the cockpit tent was easy to master. Had an excellent introduction to handling her and the gaff rig from Lizzie. Wonderful attention to detail, service and support from Alison and Nick, and very friendly. The electric motor really allows you to enjoy the peace and the wildlife!

Would highly recommend.

Nick was very thorough with his explanation of all we needed to know and the hour sailing lesson we booked in was probably nearer to 2 hours which was great as we are complete broads sailing newbs.

A slight issue with the furling jib which I am sure can be easily addressed.

The complementary bag of goodies were top notch.

Nick makes a great cup of coffee ☕ also.

Thank you for a great stay on your beautiful sailing boat.

Just spent a week on Bright Spark the best broads yacht I have ever sailed. Fabulous boat extremely comfortable. Sarvice from Nick and Alison was second to none. Cannot wait until next time.

Oliver’s Sailing Holidays – just fantastic

The Broads has some of the most beautiful inland sailing available anywhere and Dreamtime is the yacht to experience it on. The staff at the yard are lovely and very helpful and Lizzie gives a great intro to the boat with a couple of hours of sailing and instruction. It is needed as a gaff rigged boat with a lowering mast is pretty different.

The boat comes fully equipped for a crew of 4 with comfortable bedding, a sea-going toilet, 2 basins, a shower area, cooker, fridge, central heating and loads of storage. The game little diesel engine gets you to destinations when the wind has different ideas. What a perfect way to explore this unique environment and wind down from the madness of everyday life.
