Our Boatyard

Our cruisers are all designed and custom built by our highly-skilled boat builders at Porter & Haylett, based in Wroxham, Norfolk.

They have been producing both Connoisseur and Crown Blue Line boats for more than 30 years, and are reknown for their attention to detail, extremely high product quality and unique, leading-edge designs. They were the first company to introduce the sleek and stylish look of the Classique model, which has proved to be one of our most successful boats ever and remains very popular today.

They are also responsible for the production of our new 'Dancing' range of cruisers - the Tango, Calypso and Salsa - all of which are unique models specially designed by Porter & Haylett for us and introduced in 2006. These new additions are the flagships of our fleet; there's nothing else quite like these craft on the waterways. This high standard of cruiser production maintains our reputation as the leading inland waterways cruising holiday company.
