Narrowboat holidays 50 years from now 8 Oct 2024 7:43 AM (6 months ago)
Since the introduction of AI into the mainstream media, companies are becoming ever more reliant on it. Creating posts, articles and automations to help streamline processes and quicken operations. But it can do so much more. Does it give an insight into what a boating holidays of the future might look like?
We asked ChatGPT and Gencraft, an AI Art Generator, what narrowboat holidays may look like in 50 years time. Let’s see how narrowboats will change and adapt to accommodate the customers of the future.
Are we that far away from these predictions?
Here is what Chat GPT had to say:
In 50 years, narrowboat holidays could be a delightful mix of tradition and advanced technology, creating a unique experience for travellers. Here’s a vision of what they might look like:
- Smart Navigation: Enhanced GPS and AI systems would assist with navigation, offering real-time updates on water levels, weather, and traffic. Boaters could plan routes more efficiently and safely.
- Eco-Friendly Power: Most holiday hire boats could be fully electric or hybrid, utilizing things such as solar panels, wind turbines, and possibly even biofuel. This would allow for longer journeys without environmental impact.
- Interactive Experiences: Augmented reality (AR) glasses could provide historical insights, local folklore, and information about wildlife as you pass through different areas and enriching the journey.
- Modular Interiors: Interiors might feature modular furniture that can be easily reconfigured. Thus allowing for flexible use of space, such as turning a living area into a workspace or a cozy sleeping area. Used to Working from home or WFH? How about Work from your boat?
- Connected Communities: A network of narrowboat enthusiasts might form online communities, sharing tips, itineraries, and even meeting up for organized events or festivals along the waterways.
- Personalized Services: Smart devices could allow for personalized holiday experiences, such as curated meal deliveries from local restaurants or arranging guided tours with local historians and naturalists.
- Health and Wellness Focus: Many narrowboat holidays could incorporate wellness activities like yoga on the deck, meditation sessions, or nature walks. This caters to travellers looking for relaxation and rejuvenation.
- Enhanced Comfort: Expect more luxurious amenities, such as climate control systems, high-speed internet, and entertainment systems, will all become the norm.
- Cultural Integration: Holidays might include immersive cultural experiences, like local craft workshops, music performances, or culinary classes, helping travellers connect deeply with the regions they explore.
- Community Engagement: Boaters could engage with local communities through volunteer opportunities or cultural exchange programs, enhancing the travel experience while supporting local initiatives.
Overall, future narrowboat holidays could beautifully blend adventure, sustainability, and technology, creating a unique way to explore the waterways.
What narrowboat photos did Gencraft produce?
What can we see from this?
Everything is centred around sustainability, “smart” technology and comfort. Travelling by boat will be better for the environment, easier to operate and to maintain. All this whilst still enjoying a relaxing and comfortable break on the water. The way it should always be.
Whilst the images produced by Gencraft show a more futuristic style of boat, we can’t help but wonder, will we miss the charming and classic nature of a traditional narrowboat?
We’ve already seen updates to fleets, such as on board wifi and hybrid cruisers now on the Norfolk Broads.
Rest assured, boat operators will always do everything to make sure the customers have the most stunning holiday, whether it be now, or in 50 years time!
Let’s enjoy the charming canal boats for now shall we! The future can wait.

The Norfolk Broads is the perfect destination for your next holiday. Known as ‘Britain’s magical waterland’, the Broads offers 125 miles of navigable waterways, and of course, the best way to discover it all is by boat! With picturesque towns and villages, waterside pubs and plenty of visitor attractions, the Broads is just waiting to be explored on your next boating holiday. All ages are catered for, making it a fantastic choice for a family holiday and with dogs welcome on most of our boats; you can even bring your four-legged friend. Read out guide to Norfolk Broads boat hire below or visit our website to find your perfect boating holiday. Al;ternatively, call our boating holidays team on 01252 796400 for help choosing your boat and start location.
1. Visitor attractions
You won’t be short of options on the Norfolk Broads! There are plenty to choose from for adults and for children. BeWilderwood, an award winning forest with tree-houses, zip wires and wooden bridges is great fun for a family day out. Thrigby Hall also comes highly recommended, take a tour of the gardens or go and visit the tigers and red pandas!
2. Norwich
The beautiful city of Norwich can be easily reached from the Norfolk Broads. Norwich is the most complete medieval city in the UK and hosts an abundance of restaurants, pubs, bars and shops. It is in the top 10 UK shopping destinations, with four department stores, independent and boutique shops, and not one, but two shopping centres.
3. Food and Drink
Let’s just say you’re not going to go hungry or thirsty! Many pubs and eateries include locally sourced produce on their menus, giving you a real taste of Norfolk. There are many independent, unique places to choose from, including some lovely quaint tearooms and coffee shops.
4. Fishing
There is an incredible variety of fish to catch, making it one of the best known angling locations in the UK. No matter how experienced an angler you are, fishing on the Broads can be a rewarding experience. There are free fishing platforms located on the Broads, or alternatively, why not fish off the back of your very own hire boat!
5. Spectacular Scenery
The views on the Broads are like no other, with wide open skies, day and night you’ll be surprised by the breathtaking scenery. It truly is an area of natural beauty, with the lakes, streams and waterways surrounded by rolling countryside. It’s a great location for budding photographers so don’t forget to take your camera!
6. The Coast
The seaside town of Great Yarmouth is accessible from the Norfolk Broads. We recommend mooring at Acle and jumping in a taxi. For a fun day out pop down to the pleasure beach and visit the arcades near the sea front or just have a day sunbathing with an ice-cream or two! If you’re more of a sports enthusiast, pop to Greater Yarmouth and try out some water sports or go cycling or horse riding.
7. Rest and Relaxation
They say that boating is the fastest way to slow down, so if you feel the need to get away from it all, the Norfolk Broads could be just the place! Travelling between just 3-6 miles per hour you’ll experience a completely different pace of life. Hire a boat with a sundeck and make the most of the sunbathing opportunities in the summer months.
8. Pubs
As expected, there is a great deal of choice when it comes to pubs! Some are set in stunning locations, offering great views of the Broads while enjoying a drink or a pub meal. The pubs on the waterfront give you a great opportunity to sit and watch other boaters cruising past, or maybe even to spot some wildlife. Many of the pubs are dog-friendly so you can bring them along with you!
9. Shopping
As mentioned before, Norwich is somewhat of a must to visit for shopping fans. Gift shops and farm shops are aplenty on the Norfolk Broads, giving you a chance to sample some of that local produce, and get some presents for those back home. A visit to the Broads wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the infamous ‘Roys of Wroxham’ department store, where you can find anything from gardening tools to toiletries.
10. Wildlife
The Broads are well-known for its wildlife, no matter what time of year you decide to visit. Home to a selection of birds and mammals, including otters, hares, bats, deer and even seals! It’s a haven for keen bird-watchers, being home to kingfishers, owls, grebes, marsh harriers and if you’re very lucky you might even spot the super-rare bittern!
No previous experience is necessary to hire a cruiser on the Broads; full tuition is provided as are buoyancy aids for both adults and children.

Norfolk Broads Boat Hire – Frequently Asked Questions 31 May 2023 7:41 AM (last year)
We thought it would be useful to put together some of our most frequently asked questions for those of you considering your first boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads!
ooo 1. Do I need previous boat hire experience?
No previous boating experience is necessary as full training will be given on arrival.
2. How many people do the boats sleep?
Our cruisers sleep between 2 and 12 people. If you are a larger group of more than 12, you will need to hire two boats (there are no boats for self-drive hire permitted on any of the UK waterways).
3. Can I take my pet?
Yes- pets are welcome on the majority of our cruisers. Usually a maximum of 2 pets are allowed on board. If you have more than 2 pets coming with you, please check with us as we may still be able to help. Some of our boats are kept pet-free for people will allergies etc.
4. Is a Norfolk Broads boating holiday suitable for young families?
Yes! There is plenty to keep young children occupied on a boating holiday. Children of all ages love the Norfolk Broads. Being outside in the fresh air, watching all of the other boats go by, keeping an eye out for birds and animals along the banks is usually entertainment enough! There are many family friendly attractions to visit on the Norfolk Broads including Bewilderwood, Wroxham Barns, Wroxham Miniature Worlds, Bure Valley Railway and Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens.
5. How far can I travel?
This does depend on how many cruising hours a day you would like to do. If you are on a short break, starting on the Northern Broads then generally we recommend sticking to the Northern side and exploring all of the Broads and villages there. Same on the Southern Broads, if you start there it is best to stay south on a short break, you could still reach the City of Norwich easily. On a weekly holiday both sides of the Broads can be explored if willing to cruise for longer hours and spend less time off the boat. It is always best to check cruising times between each place and if travelling from North – South or vice versa, check the crossing times for Breydon Water. Check out our boating holiday routes guide here
6. Can I fish on the Norfolk Broads?
Yes you can – as long as it is not closed season. Closed season is between March 15th and June 16th each year. During open season you will need to purchase a licence from the local Post Office. No live maggots are allowed onboard and you must only fish whilst the boat is stationary.
7. Can I go on my own?
Yes, solo experienced boaters are accepted at a couple of our boatyards. At our other boatyards they will only accept a minimum of 2 adults due to their insurance requirements.
8. What is the speed limit?
The speed limits vary between 3-6mph on the Norfolk Broads. There are very clear round signs that will tell you the speed limit for each area.
9. Where do I moor?
The Broads Authority provides free 24 hour moorings at a number of locations on the Norfolk Broads, see the list here: http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/boating/facilities/moorings. You are also able to moor at any British Hire Boat Federation Boat Yard. Other moorings are privately owned so there will be a charge to moor there, typically between £10-£20 per night. Some pubs have their own moorings, sometimes there is a small charge to moor there but this is usually redeemable in the pub.
10. Will I need to do locks?
No! The Norfolk Broads offers 125 miles of lock-free cruising.
11. What are the bridge restrictions?
There are several low bridges on the Norfolk Broads, meaning that passage under them is not always possible in a hire boat. Potter Heigham Bridge, Wroxham Bridge and Beccles Bridge are very low and cruisers may not be able to pass under these bridges depending on the height of the boat and the tide. Bridges are clearly marked and it is recommended to use the bridge pilot to take your boat through. Luckily, each of these bridges are on the edge of the Broads so you will not miss out on too much cruising if you can’t get under!
12. Are the Norfolk Broads tidal?
Yes, the Norfolk Broads are tidal. The tide strengthens the closer you get to Great Yarmouth so extra care must be taken. The Southern Broads (South of Great Yarmouth) are more tidal than the Northern Broads and we recommend that for a first boating experience, you choose to start from one of the bases North of Great Yarmouth, including Wroxham, Horning, Martham and Potter Heigham.
13. What is the difference between the Northern and Southern Broads?
The north side of the Norfolk Broads has more villages, shops and boatyards. The northern side tends to be busier than the south, especially in peak times. The southern Broads are more tidal than the north & it is a lot quieter and more rural, with less competition for moorings.
14. What will I see on my boating holiday?
The Broads is a well known haven for wildlife, so the chances of spotting a rare bird or catching a glimpse of an otter are fairly high! There are several attractions on the Norfolk Broads, including St Benet’s Abbey, Thurne Mill, How Hill, St Helen’s Church and several nature reserves that are worth mooring up and visiting.
15. Where do I park my car?
You are welcome to park your car at the boatyard. Each of our boatyards have their own car park. Most of our boatyards include parking in the cost of the holiday; however some do charge a small fee.
16. What are the extra costs?
Usually, on top of the hire charge for the boat, there is a fuel deposit and a non-refundable damage waiver to pay. The fuel deposit varies between £50 – £200. You always set off with a full tank of fuel, on return the boatyard refuels and works out the exact amount that you have used. If you haven’t used all of your deposit you will get a refund for the difference, if you have gone over you will pay the extra. The damage waiver is usually between £50 – £75 and is a non-refundable payment that protects you against any accidental damage made to the boat. Some of our boatyards have all-inclusive pricing, meaning the fuel & damage waiver is built into the cost of your holiday already.
17. Do you supply lifejackets?
Yes! Each person is fitted with a lifejacket on arrival. We recommend purchasing a doggy lifejacket if you are bring your pet along with you.
18. Do you supply bedding and towels?
Bedding is always provided for our motor cruisers, however towels usually are not always provided. If you are travelling from overseas towels can be provided for you.
19. Can I charge my phone?
Yes you can! On each of our cruisers there will either be a 12v charging point or a 240v plug sockets on board.
20. Can I cook on board?
Absolutely, all of our cruisers have a kitchen on board. This usually includes a fridge, oven, hob, kettle and sometimes a microwave. All of the cutlery and crockery is provided for you.
