Herbert Woods is widely acknowledged as one of the pioneers of boating on the Broads, to following in his footsteps, we continue to build our own cruisers here in Potter Heigham. This allows us to ensure that each cruiser is built to a unique design, to the highest possible standards and with the latest features and technology.
