Questions about Primrose
Do I need sailing experience to hire Primrose?
Please talk to us about your sailing experience and crew before booking. If you are new to sailing or would like a refresher, we can discuss tuition options with you.

From our yard on the Upper Thurne you can sail to Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere and West Somerton without going through the bridge.

Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, subject to our conditions of hire, and a pet charge applies.
