Lovely..I am having a 45ft wide beam built but I lived on 26ft Narrow boat and went cruising for 10 years or so. I shed a little tear when I sold her. It was amazing I managed to get a bathroom, galley and bedroom in there, but it was really cosy. As much as I am looking forward to finishing this new boat I miss those days..she was my womb for a lot of years and never let me down..I have so many great memories..your boat brought back a lot of those times...a lovely space you have. Good luck :-)
A fabulous little home - with more emphasis on the 'home' than the 'little'. Ingenious use of every inch of space. Clearly some of the comments suggest that not everyone here would survive life on the cut.
I'm 70 years old....and although Life is terrific (!!!) I wanna be Young again and have a 'little' boat exactly like yours! Right down to that mirror frame! LOL You Two are absolutely fabulous ! (sorry, Ab/Fab...) You're both simply wonderful. You both say exacccctly what you mean...no silly 'frills'. ....rare these days! Kudos Y'all!!! You are the Hope of the World !!!! (along with all your friends et al ).........from San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico !!! lol
I got a little "message" that you had actually replied to My message !!! lol You're more than welcome.....It was only The Truth... very best to you Both. You deserve truly Good Thihgs....and they willlll come to You, as you are "living Right". Karma sometimes "takes a while"...but it does eventually present itself. xo
A brilliantly made and edited video. I am searching for a narrow boat at the moment. Yours, although fantastic, would be too small for me but for you it seems GREAT. You have given me some ideas and for that I thank you. Thanks for sharing and may you enjoy your cruising for as long as you wish. Best wishes. Michael
Very much enjoyed my narrow boat introduction from you. Crisply shot and immersive to watch. I've never been on a canal boat but would now love to, it looks like just my cup of tea.
I love that more and more people are thinking of inventive ways around the housing crisis. This is incredible! I would love to pick your brains over the setup as this is something I'm seriously considering myself. Such inspiration!
We are on the very cusp of buying our 45ft narrowboat and was looking for ideas to modify the setup. This video is truelly inspiring and makes me want the boat faster! Nice boat
I'm impressed how you've utilised as much space as possible, great layout, almost the same as mine, fixed bed across the front..I live on a 28ft narrowboat and people are always surprised how spacious and cosy it is inside :)
I love how cozy it looks inside, with the wood and the hanging items it makes me sleepy 😴 especially the lighting and the wood burner adds a rustic touch 😴
@@jaystill26 - It is a cassette toilet. What the body eliminates goes into a container (the cassette) which is emptied into a regular toilet or black water disposal unit. It is only the gray water from the sink and the shower that goes straight into the waterway.
This is magical! So very cozy! The canal is such an awesome place to have a boat. I wish we had little waterways like that in the US. We have shallow fast running rivers to do rafting on, and large rivers for barges and motor boats, but nothing like this. I would like to take a trip to this place one day!
Did I hear her say the sewage goes into the canal... was nothing learned in history class, or resent, Save our Planet, movement, or leave a smaller carbon footprint. The boat is great, but clutter and being sloppy, or filthy. Time for "hand- washing-101" class. The purpose of the Water-Protectors (?) Ringing any kind of bell for you two. Clean up your act, and have your tubes tied!
@@clairecolvin4077 it's too late I'm afraid. Haven't you heard? Liberal politicians have repeatedly told us the world will end in less than 12 years, no matter what we do. Not sure why they're still trying to eliminate all air travel and cows etc. I think we should probably all eat as much steak and take as many vacations as we can!
I just adore your little home. I am 54 and my husband will turn 60 this year. I have wanted to do something like you have for years and I am so glad you have chosen to be brave and do it now while you are young. Well done!
It looks fantastic! I guess it's a little easier for people to handle as well that you've got a 'home' and not just a van. I've not seen many 30ft ones but it looks like enough space to be comfortable.
to be fair the sufficiency of both shower and toilet is already nice for a tiny mobile home, i've been watching this kind of tours recently and many of them don't have both
Bear in mind this is a 30ft boat so space is at an absolute premium. I had this type of toilet in a Campervan some years ago and they aren't too bad. For a young couple like this it's not a problem.
I think I stepped on it when I was out for a run along the canal !

This young couple appear to have grasped and are enjoying the luxury of simplicity, and economy, and they are in step with each other. Refreshing & wonderful to behold. GOD bless them
So as someone that's lives on the canal. You've got to pay water licences, insurances and mooring fees, then there is the boat on top! A decent 30ft narrowboat is around £15-£25,000 depending on age and toilet. I have a 55ft narrowboat and my licence is around £580 per year. £200 for insurance. I have a residential mooring which costs about £2,300 a year and I waited 2 years for it. I was paying £4,000 before that in a horrible place. But I love my new place as I have an electric hook up, farm shop, showers and somewhere to get tools, coal and other maintenance bits. Electric depends on how much you use. I spend about 50p a day, it's cheaper than others because I use coal for heating for me. It's about £10 a week in winter. But I also use dry sticks or whatever I can find. Diesel can range from 30p per litre - if I'm crushing it's about 10 litres a day. Less if I'm moored up. Maintenance should be done every week otherwise cost implications can put you out of water. I'm pretty good with it so it's normally around £600 a year for engine etc etc. I have an old boat that needs blackening in the wintertime so that adds. Pumping the toilet is about £80 a year. My boat is 1985 semi refurbished 55ft boat - it cost me £29,000. So cheaper than a house, cheaper than renting but you need the money in the first place. If you don't moor at place allocated for moorings , you can just pick anywhere on the side of the canal - you'll need keep cruising - which I don't recommend because it will cost more in maintenance and you will get stuck and freeze in our beautiful British winters.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I am happy it brings them joy even though the lay out or decor does not appeal to me...too much clutter. It’s was lovely of them to share their home, thank-you!
What a gorgeous boat. We have a house with the canal 10ft away, and always admire the boats and dream of what the life must be like. You are wonderfully lucky x
Delightful! I'd love to experience canal living. A tip, if I may: Don't block that door behind your bed with bicycles. In an emergency, you would need to use that door to get out.
Every project you take on turns out to be a beautiful success. Can’t wait to see your finished old barn-to-home in Portugal. You both work so hard to create a little paradise. This boat is a fine example❤️👵🏻❤️
You've done such a great job on your narrowboat home, and you both explained it all so well in a very nice video. Thank you for taking the time to create the video to share your home with us.
I neen watching you van life for well over a year, can't believe this popped up. Have never been suggested one of your boat vids? Looking forward to a good boat binge
Really love the boat. I have been a motorhome traveller for a long time and started off with a 30 foot Bedford bus that had been converted. One of the first differences I noticed was the ability in a boat due to its stability to leave all your ornaments out on shelves. We either had to put them away each time we moved or stick them to the shelves.
Lovely boat! Sorry to hear you lost a solar panel in storm Doris. We were sailing a hire boat up the Shropshire Union during the storm & it was 'challenging' to say the least!
Beautiful work on the narrow boat. So cozy and lovely. And Gingy Bear has a crazy aunt... well, actually, she's a stranger and she lives in America, so on the off chance you visit these here parts, you have a cat sitter at your beck and call. Lol. Couldn't help it... I call myself Auntie to all the cute pets of the world :-) Happy travels.... great vid as always!
Really loved your boat you’ve made great use of the space. My only concern is letting shower and sink water straight into the canal/waterways I was thinking more from a pollution point of view with detergents and shower gels.
Great video guys. We lived on the canals for years but eventually the difficulties of being near where we worked and being frozen in for three winters running, meant we moved into a house ( which was a very tiny stone cottage ) Enjoy your boaters life for as long as you can!! Bless ya
Guys you have already tempted me into buying a T4 and now I want a narrowboat! You are so bad for my bank balance haha! Wouldn't have it any other way though. Bertha looks so cosy!
Love it! Having this boat house, it gives you more chances to survive in first days of zombie apocalypse :D But honestly, this house make me feel comfortable and it definitely looks cozy. I'd love to live in it for a week :)
Wow! you two are so resourceful with your space. I love the tip on having a stain-glass window (what a find). It does look so serene. We used to live near a canal and always faniced living on one, but perhaps we could split our time between boat and van. Thanks for another lovely video.
Love those chairs. Do you remember the Ikea name for them? I didn't see them on the website, maybe they are from a different year. Great home and looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing!
@@Kim_gs1206 I know, having a separated bathroom area would be far more hygienic. My points still valid regardless whether they chose to get rid of the walls or it was already like that
Hello, you are a lovely couple I spent around six years living on a narrow boat there is nothing like it, glad I did when I was young like you. I love your boat the lay out is very similar to ours was. But your is much more groovy have fun,
What a lovely, cosy home - I love all the little touches that make it uniquely yours. All that gorgeous wood reminds me of my grandmum's tiny house.....
I’ve not long bought a small narrow boat and it’s really interesting to hear your experiences. 🙏🏼. I will definitely put in walls for the bathroom, but the rest is awesome. Also interesting to hear about the 12V and boiler etc. Ours is currently not back here yet for the refurb, as I bought it from around 70 miles away and it’s taking a while to get it moved. .....storms, heavy rain and ice have hampered the efforts, but she’s around half way so far and the refurb will happen in the spring. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate it. 💕
Very nice, warm, cozy and inviting. Well thought out placement of everything. Thank you for inviting....... the whole world to your humble aboat! Thank you.
Love how you reconfigured the boat. Is the shower floor lower than the rest of the floor or have a raised edge around so water doesn't flow to the rest of the floor under the curtain?
@@susanlinville3136 it looks like a compost toilet, so they would have to empty. It's illegal to have the toilet drain into the canal. They just let their grey water drain into the canal.
Hallo, chaps! So thrilled to have found you😊 Bertha is really gorgeous, especially after all the TLC that you've put into her! A real 'labour of love', and absolutely fabulous☺😊 Am now a 60 year old English gran, living in Berlin, with 2 sons and wives, and 2 grandchildren, dogs and cats! The dream never goes away, even now! My 'for always wish', so many years ago, was to live on a narrow boat, on the canals (my aunt lived by the Grand Union Canal)😊 I was really drawn to the 'companionship' of the 'barge people'! What a wonderful community! Have a wonderful 'community' here in Berlin, but it's not quite the same! We stay in one spot😂 All love , and best wishes to you, keep going, and enjoying! Take my hat off to you both! Love, Claire, Berlin, Germany 😊

Why do you ask this question? It seems quite odd.....
It's amazing! You can sit on the toilet and at the same time cook the pasta in the kitchen.

Wow, I love your boat. Small, usable, and cozy. Better than boats twice its size!
All the people we know that live on canals have 70ft monsters; yours looks so much nicer and easier to use. Love all your vids, thanks!
hey thanks :)

Most beautiful sentence in the whole video, "Left to me by my nan."
She was a wonderful woman, it's lovely to have something of hers with us :)
Really love the boat. I have been a motorhome traveller for a long time and started off with a 30 foot Bedford bus that had been converted. One of the first differences I noticed was the ability in a boat due to its stability to leave all your ornaments out on shelves. We either had to put them away each time we moved or stick them to the shelves.

Sorry to hear you lost a solar panel in storm Doris. We were sailing a hire boat up the Shropshire Union during the storm & it was 'challenging' to say the least!

Lovely little narrow boat, good to see you have made the most out of the space you have, must be great compared to living in a van.
'My nan left me this antique, I use it for snacks' lmao
That looks so cosy. A fantastic use of all the available space as well. Well done you guys. Keep the videos coming.
A Van With A View thank you!
Love how you reconfigured the boat. Is the shower floor lower than the rest of the floor or have a raised edge around so water doesn't flow to the rest of the floor under the curtain?
yeah it has a raised edge all the way around to stop it flowing over :)
Brilliant. Absolutely love what you did with your boat spaces.
So does the toilet actually drain into the canal?! I am in USA. I have never heard of this.
I love your boat!
@@susanlinville3136 it looks like a compost toilet, so they would have to empty. It's illegal to have the toilet drain into the canal. They just let their grey water drain into the canal.
Love the tour. I am so envious for you two. Wish you the best.
love it all apart from having your loo in the lounge, what do guests do when youre all in the lounge area??eeww
Do you really think anyone besides those two and their cat can even fit in there? What “guests”?
That's so cool! I love my little cottage, but dang! Can't get much better than a little place that you can drive around in canals whenever you want!
Yea …and dump your waste water straight into the canal… very selfish…..I’m sure you’re not allowed to do this…you’re not on the open sea….
this is so amazingly awesome
thank you!
Apart from the open plan bathroom, what a lovely place to live.
The bathroom though 😳
Hallo, chaps!
So thrilled to have found you😊
Bertha is really gorgeous, especially after all the TLC that you've put into her!
A real 'labour of love', and absolutely fabulous☺😊
Am now a 60 year old English gran, living in Berlin, with 2 sons and wives, and 2 grandchildren, dogs and cats!
The dream never goes away, even now!
My 'for always wish', so many years ago, was to live on a narrow boat, on the canals (my aunt lived by the Grand Union Canal)😊
I was really drawn to the 'companionship' of the 'barge people'!
What a wonderful community!
Have a wonderful 'community' here in Berlin, but it's not quite the same!
We stay in one spot😂
All love , and best wishes to you, keep going, and enjoying!
Take my hat off to you both!
Love, Claire, Berlin, Germany 😊
