Brinks Rhapsody - The Review

I think I will leave it to the video review to let you decide what your impressions are of this new cruiser on the Norfolk Broads, but I for one have been one over by it's sheer luxury and innovation.

Yes it is a premium boat, attracting a premium price but unlike other boats for hire, this is a boat without compromise.  There is no need to worry about brining a high powered appliances with you because it has the capacity to run them - and of course the power generation onboard to keep them going.

A domestic electric induction hob cooker, fan assisted oven, electric kettle, toaster and domestic sized fridge and separate 24 bottle wine chiller - then there is the thermostatically controlled individual heating to every cabin - heated toilet/shower compartments with heated towel rails, premium flat screen televisions in each cabin with the ability to play DVDs, CD's and play Movies saved to USB drives coupled with a Radio/CD player with an MP3 input option and a premium speaker system.

The list goes on and on.  Then there is the all electric drive system which means you can cruise in near silence and really enjoy the sounds of the Broads - from birds to the simple rustle of Reeds, or the water lapping at the banks as you pass. 

Three more of these boats will be built, before Barnes Brinkcraft turn their attention to producing much the same system to smaller boats - perhaps using lithium cells in years to come to create a light weight yet powerful battery system for them.
