Mooring

Well you have got your boat, fully stocked for your cruise, the itinerary is set but where to stop for the night? No worries as there are plenty of moorings available for the intrepid explorers of the Norfolk Broads rivers and waterways. There are quite a number of free 24 hour Broads Authority moorings throughout the Broads, we have listed them below and there are plenty of privately owned moorings and broads where if you tie up to the bank or drop a mud weight, you can expect to pay a fee. Some of the moorings are in the middle of a waterside village or close to one, some of the riverside pubs offer free mooring if you spend time enjoying a drink or a meal in their establishments and there are also yacht stations and marinas. Or you can go it alone and just stop, tie up to the riverbank amongst the marshes and reed beds, then sit back to enjoy the sights and sounds of the countryside

Visiting Great Yarmouth

The lively and vibrant seaside town of Great Yarmouth is alive with fantastic things to do, from visiting the beach to experiencing the unique water circus. With a great variety of places to eat, things to do, and places to see, make sure to pencil in a night or two for visiting Great Yarmouth if bright lights and excitement are what you’re after! This article will give you some helpful information when planning a trip to the seaside resort.

Mooring when Visiting Great Yarmouth

With its appeal to holidaymakers, the town has a yacht station where you can moor for a fee. With staff on hand to help and advise from 8:00am – 8:00pm, and there are toilet and shower facilities available as well as water.

Leisure when Visiting Great Yarmouth

There’s a wealth of leisure in the seaside town! For a unique experience, try the Hippodrome Circus when they have a show on – with impressive acrobatic feats and water displays, the kids will love this one. On the seafront is the Pleasure Beach, perfect for thrill seekers and kids alike, this a variety of gentle rides and thrill rides and all sorts in between to cater for most. There are also a couple of adventure mini golf courses to choose from, as well as the Merrivale Model Village, a world of miniature exploration! Over the summer holidays on Wednesdays there is live entertainment on the SEALIFE Centre Gardens from 8:00pm, with seafront attractions open late for the main event of a free fireworks display at 10:00pm! Closer to the Broads is Burgh Castle, which overlooks Burgh Castle – a great heritage site. There’s so much to do in the seaside town, so why not take a wander and see what you can find?

Eating Out when Visiting Great Yarmouth

As with leisure, there is  possibly even more places to eat out in Great Yarmouth ! The Burlington Palm hotel serves fresh and local fish, whereas Lek Thai on the Golden Mile pairs great customer service with the best that Thailand has to offer. For those after a more grown up eating experience, try Pamela’s Restaurant, which is praised for its high-class cuisine and excellent service. Good for families with pups is the Marnine Family Pub. Having been in business for over 30 years, the Marine Family Pub offers a warm atmosphere with a wide variety of drinks to pick from. They also serve traditional pub fare, and have even been known to whip up a dog’s dinner upon request!

Advice On A Trip To Great Yarmouth..... Help!

Recommended Posts

A few months ago I asked for advice on our first boat trip to the broads, I received so many helpful replies from you all.

As my trip approaches ( next week) I thought I would do the responsible thing and read my 'skippers manual.' 

We plan a trip from Potter Heigham to Great Yarmouth on the 16th June. The thing that has confused me is the timetable for the 'low tide' and when I should ideally look to arrive?

Also could anyone recommend a suitable mooring spot in Great Yarmouth? I am mindful that as novices' we should beware of the tide.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is not very easy to get to Yarmouth by train from Potter Heigham - for there is now train station - but there is at Wroxham... You seem to want to head to Yarmouth itself, not perhaps to go on

Yes there is, there is a height board before you get to the Yacht Station giving you plenty of chance to go about before reaching the bridges, where the river is wider and the flow not quite so fast.

Great advice. 

NorfolkNog

The advice about low tide is basically to ensure that you have clearance under the bridges. However if you moor at the yacht station this isn't an issue as its before the bridges. If you moor there around low tide, it runs quite fast, you would be better to go through the bridges, turn and come back against the tide. The only place to moor at GY is the yacht station, the old Marina Quays in not safe.

There are buses or the train. You could catch a bus or train from Acle although the village is quite a walk from the river.

PS agree with others, bus or train good idea - even a cab if your feeling a bit flush although it shouldn't be a fortune.

It is not very easy to get to Yarmouth by train from Potter Heigham - for there is now train station - but there is at Wroxham...

You seem to want to head to Yarmouth itself, not perhaps to go on to the southern rivers after crossing Breydon Water - so, if I am correct in that assumption my advice is leave Potter Heigham and head to Wroxham - depending on your boat choice you may get under Worxham Bridge to some handy moorings, or since you are in a hire boat you might find space in one of the boatyards in Worxham.

It is then a short walk to the train station, and easy to get to Norwich and on to Yarmouth. If you do go by boat though you really should not see such as being a scary of challenging trip. I'll use Thursday as an example - low water will be 1t 10:26am so if you wanted maximum clearance under the bridges, or were heading south over Breydon Water between half ten and half eleven in the morning would be ideal times to pass through Yarmouth - if you were leaving Potter Heigham therefore you should leave at about 7:30am - for it takes about four and a half hours to get from Potter Heigham to Great Yarmouth.

Now let us presume you did this, you would find there would still be some 'ebbing current' that is to say the tide is flowing out slowly and so as NorfolkNog above said, you should turn and come into moor against this current - to be extra safe do such a turn having passed under both bridges and passed the yellow post - then come back through the bridges and moor up.

Don't forget the Yacht Station staff are really helpful and you can give them a call on 0 1493 842 794 between 8am and 8pm and they will give you a some good advice.

The staff are always on hand during the day at the YS.Best to arrive at slack water or moor against the tide.I have not been to Yarmouth for a number of years.Gone past it many times prefer Lowerstoft to visit,mooring at Oulton and jump on a train to Lowerstoft. 

Another alternative if you are arriving by car is to visit on the last day after you hand the boat back.

Thanks everyone for the above comments. Would anyone recommend Stokesby as a stop off. I was thinking of getting transport from there.

potter may not have a station but buses run from lathams to yarmouth town centre,yarmouth station is 15 mins walk from town

Camel train, wagon train!!!   it's a Railway Station.  Potter Heigham's RAILWAY station's last day  of services was 27th September 1958.

It's possible certainly although you might be better mooring at Stracey Arms and getting a cab as you would then be on the right side of the river for the main road.

Personally I would rather visit Cromer than Gt Yarmouth any day. In which case, catch the train from Wroxham.

We do that frequently, excellent train service, love Cromer. 

I suppose GY is a bit Marmite, each to their own!!

Just to throw another option I would go for Acle, and in from there. The X1/X11 from the Kings Head which is a fifteen minute walk from the bridge run every half hour or so, non stop and take fifteen minutes. They offer a High5 ticket which allows unlimited travel for up to five people all day, I think it's £10 but check with First. That's quite handy as when you arrive at the Market Gates in Yarmouth you can jump on a Number 2 which takes you to the southern end of the pleasure beach, all on the same ticket. 

grendel

the other point to remember is that any transport into Great yarmouth on the 16th will be very busy as it is one of the airshow days, so unless you are going specifically for the airshow, it might be a day to avoid Great Yarmouth.

MauriceMynah

Hi Jmorris. There are many questions I'd like to ask, mainly...

Would you be wanting to head across Breydon water to the southern waters after visiting Yarmouth or heading back towards the northern waters?

First I shall treat it as that you will be heading back north. …   The journey from Stracey Arms to Yarmouth is in my opinion the most boring part of the Norfolk Broads. It's two hours of nothingness with no safe moorings available. For that reason if for no other I'd go along with those who recommend you use public transport. Alternatively go to Yarmouth before picking up your boat at the beginning of your holiday or go after handing it back at the end.

If you really want to make the trip by boat, then time it so you arrive at Yarmouth on the incoming tide. Ideally, you want to make the return trip on an incoming tide as well. Pushing that tide is very wasteful on fuel.

I strongly recommend you do NOT go through the bridges and turn at the bottom end of Breydon. The water there is turbulent to say the least.

There may be some here who will disagree with me, and I can only emphasise that I am only giving you my OPINION.

Now, if you are heading to Yarmouth with the intention of going onwards to the southern waters afterwards then I would repeat, try to get there on the end of the rising tide, do the "Yarmouth bit" as the tide is going out, then proceed through the bridges and up Breydon on the start of the next rising tide. The Rangers will advise you better than I can on tide times.

Overall, I join those who recommend the use of public transport. It removes all the headaches.

However, if you can make your general intentions known to us perhaps we might be able to better tailor our advice to you.

Whatever you do, have a good time and chill.

Agreed, Yarmouth's heydays are well behind it now. Cromer is a delightful seaside town. 

Stokesby I do like, small but well formed so to speak.

First one here. Under no circumstances should you ever try to turn in front of the bridges on an outgoing tide. Even an experienced skipper can get into trouble very easily. Once you are beam on to the tide it is very difficult to get the bow around into the stream. Always go through the bridges and turn past the yellow post, or better still go under the lift bridge, have a look at Breydon and then turn back to the Bure. 

If you do decide to take the boat down to Yarmouth the best plan is to go down on the last of the ebb tide, moor at Stracey Arms and wait there until the tide stops. That way, by the time you get to Yarmouth the tide will be running in and you can moor up against the incoming tide with no need to turn. The staff at the Yacht Station will help you tie up and cast off once you are ready to leave. 

I'd still support the Acle option though, and if you've not spent out on the fun fair or Regent Road's tat shops then you can always stop at the Bridge Inn on the way back for a pint or two and a bite to eat. One of the finest pubs on the river.

If a boat was to arrive at Yarmouth "early" on an ebbing tide and had to wait for the tide to drop before there is clearance for the bridges, there is no option but to turn before the bridges and moor.

Of course, if you are stupid enough to ignore it and reach the bridges without sufficient clearance on a fast ebb you do, as you say have no choice but to try and turn before them. I have seen two people try down the years, both ended up with superstructure damage.

So you turn before you get to the yacht station... then what?

No, Sorry Paul, I am not in agreement with you. I think we shall have to agree to disagree.

And then reverse to the Yacht station to moor?

RNLI 'committed' to putting new lifeboat in service

The RNLI has said it is committed to bringing a Norfolk lifeboat into service, more than two years after it was named.

The George and Frances Phelon was named at a ceremony in Dorset in April 2022, but has yet to be used.

The Shannon-class boat was delivered to Great Yarmouth and Gorleston Lifeboat Station in August, but because of unsuitable moorings has not yet entered operational service.

But the RNLI said it was in talks to acquire a new berth in the River Yare to "provide a safe and suitable home for the lifeboat and our volunteer crew".

Delays in bringing the vessel into service has meant the station's Trent-class lifeboat - which entered service in 1996, remains operational.

But in a statement, the charity said: "The RNLI can confirm that it remains committed to ensuring that the Shannon class all-weather lifeboat George and Frances Phelon can go on service at the station as soon as possible.

"The Shannon class will make a significant contribution to the charity’s mission of saving lives at sea – it has already been used extensively so that volunteers serving Norfolk and other parts of the coast have the skills they need to crew a Shannon to optimum effect.

"Negotiations remain under way to acquire an alternative berth for the Shannon class lifeboat to provide a safe and suitable home for the lifeboat and our volunteer crew."

Earlier in the year, the mooring for the Trent-class all-weather lifeboat Samarbeta was prohibited from being used owing to safety concerns.

However, the RNLI said it was being used again.

"Samarbeta is operating from the mooring pen," the statement said.

"In particularly adverse weather conditions, alternative arrangements that follow well-practised plans, can be put in place to ensure that this lifesaving asset can continue operating."

The charity conducted a "coast review" on 11 June, a standard procedure affecting all 238 of its lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland every five years.

The statement added: "The information [gathered] is in the process of being collated following this process.

"Coast Reviews focus on every element of the charity’s lifesaving service, from lifeboats, lifeguards to water safety and local fundraising by engaging with each group and listening to their views on how they and the communities they serve can be best supported by the RNLI."
