Nidelv 24

I was at Sutton Staithe today.....2 minutes from home. The boat building tradition at Sutton Staithe Boatyard dates back to 1808, when the Norfolk trading wherries were built here. They now build boats to your exacting specifications, ranging from 6ft pram dinghies to luxury cruisers. With their highly skilled team and an excellent boatshed, they can offer a complete range of services.

Todays Survey on this Nidelv 24. I have seen a few of these boats on the Broads. For a small family this is a practical and comfortable weekender. A roomy and light cabin with a cosy u-shaped sofa aft makes meals and sleepovers enjoyable. A large bathing platform and safe bathing ladders make it easy to enjoy a refreshing swim from the boat. The Nidelv 24 has a time-tested and sturdy hull that moves nicely through the water.

They have a good hoist at Sutton Staithe.....quick and simple to get the boats out for inspection

The first Nidelv boat was launched as early as 1929. It was built by Nils Nilsen who at the time already had 18 years experience as a boat builder. A genuine love of his trade and a desire to develop more and better boats led to the foundation of The Nidelv Yard.

In the beginning Nidelv found its customers especially among the many ships officers in the Arendal area. The pleasure boat became a popular means of recreation during long holidays. The boat also raised their status in the maritime community of Arendal. The Nidelv boats were in a class of their own in terms of craftsmanship and quality, and soon customers from all over Southern Norway were arriving.
