Massive and exquisite. After seeing hundreds of narrow boat videos a wide beamed boat seems more like a house. The interior was very nicely done. The quality and workmanship is appearant. Beautiful boat and a very nice tour. Thanks
I think it's a bit unfair to criticise the filming and presenter - this was not a professional film crew, nor a professional presenter - bearing that in mind I think he did a good job.
It's not unfair, if you put a video out for especially on RUclips expect criticism. They did good. Camera could have done a better job showing bunk and features and not inputting blurry pics. But video served its purpose
@@jimbojet8728 Yes, in a free world people are allowed to be unfair. That doesn't change the fact that they are being unfair. That being said, the lousy sound quality _is_ pretty egregious considering how inexpensive wireless mics are these days.
Thanks for the overview of this lovely boat. The enthusiasm of the presenter was infectious. I absolutely loved this boat and think it would be great on the French canal system as well. I love barges but find narrow boats too cramped, but this is totally amazing. Well done Finesse. I'm sure it's outside my price bracket but I can dream.
Well , I had an appointment at Crick and went on board. I wouldnt swap if for my boat , the owner is never gonna know a minutes peace as all and sundry ask a 1000 questions the minute they pop their head outside. I was impressed though with the brought on shoe wrap machine for dirty feet going on board. Lets be honest its a floating marina apartment for Limehouse basin.
Stunning boat. I especially liked the steps up onto the roof. Why other wide beam builders do not do that always surprised me. The exposed wheel area seemed to be a sunny windless day sailing place only. It does just shows what you can do if you think out of the box.
Truly stunning and a very very refreshing take on the wide beam. The workmanship is outstanding and far more reminiscent of small yacht builds than the typical barge build. It would be interesting to see whether underfloor heating was available thus reducing the need for visible radiators and perhaps the use of incinerator toilets? I suppose this type of build would be bespoke in all senses so assume this could be done. All subject to the budget. Fantastic.
Absolutely lovely craft, pretty well thought out, and it does lend to the future of canal boating. I for one, would not use it on a canal, i would be more prone to trying the Norfolk Broads with it, and keep it moored there. As for design, well done, i would change two things if i were to buy one, first, the Helm area, i would have it enclosed with a slider mechanism that locks securely, to keep all the equipment dry and safe in winter months, and also have the actual controls panel able to rotate, so it stays out of view when parked up and locked up. Finally, in the master bedroom, three wardrobe doors to the front, i would take or use the middle one as a Front exit point with stairs behind going to the top deck. Alternative wardrobe space could probably be found to alleviate the loss of one wardrobe space.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful motorised longboat it’s so beautiful beautiful are I would love to go on a cruise someday through the canals of England in UK
This is a lovely lovely boat. Definitely things I would change in terms of the decor and functionality but it is a lovely space. I would really like to have seen how that bed came down and I would take that big puffy sectional out for that particular space. Thanks for the peek inside.
I find the interior looking like a cheap motel redecorated in high end (boring) features. Not a "natural" looking item in the place, even the "wood" looks fabricated and sterile.
Electric is perfect for canal boats. Smelly, noisy and polluting diesels are overdue for conversion, which I expect is a lot more straightforward than converting a car. Nice boat too!
I love the layout, but I'm not sure about the styling. It looks like an oil tanker to me. But I'm sure the owners are super happy with it, and good on them.
I dont know about oil tanker as they miles long this looks more like a brigantine style boat. Love it myself but as its over half a million not for me until I win the lottery 😂
A beautiful boat, but with a major flaw. There is only one way in/out of the vessel, and that's at the stern. It would have been a great idea to have had an exit to the bow, manly for safety reasons and of course for easier moorings. One other point,, is the weed hatch very low to get to, as the decking seems pretty high on the stern.
There is an exit at the bow (escape hatch). On a typical Widebeam there is a lowered deck area at the bow. This normally takes up around 9-10 feet, as well as steps into the boat. Giving a total loss at the bow of around 12 feet. To make the best use of space inside the boat we negated steps and kept the deck high. If the desire was there and the design could afford ~1200mm diameter we could incorporate a spiral staircase out of the master bedroom.
I don't think this boat is planning on having messy jobs like weed clearance - it's all too perfect for that. I was noticing the footprints already showing on that decking - it would be one of those things you have to continually run around cleaning up ! It's pretty gorgeous, but I distinctly get the feeling you will need 'staff' to use this happily !
I do like the idea and concepts of the design process, just a little bit curious is to why there isn't a second day head or ensuit bathroom in the master bedroom? Overall it looks beautifully laid out.
Magnificent boat for use, presumably, on Continental canals. I can’t quite see it on English Midland cuts where some of the berths have to be protected by steel, spear-tip fencing and locked gates or aground on a submerged pile of shopping trolleys around Kidderminster. I’m afraid that, whilst it looks very pretty it’s vulnerability to reality may be equally apparent. It would be great on the MIDI, though.
Very cool. I would enjoy more detail on the drive system. Boat is amazing, presentation is fun. All that’s missing is a wireless lav mic so we can hear you properly. Cheers all!
I do like the the overall build and details. Like a super yacht but on the inland water ways. Be interesting to see how she handles and what is the displacement fully loaded again an average barge. On a design point the owners cabin, would have like a forwards view while relaxing
Absolutely beautiful craftmanship. I'd love one, wouldn't take it anywhere as there is just me and would be terrified lol but would make a lovely permanent mooring home somewhere. Would have loved to know what this would set you back. Perhaps the owner didn't want us to know.
Normally these sorts or review don't mention it because if it can vary widely - and if you are REALLY interested then you will contact them. If you are (like most of us) just passing by then it distracts from the conversation. This one is probably on the higher end of kitted out so would be on the higher end of pricing too.
Thank u. Very luxurious. I’d say more for uk rivers. Personally not sure why 8ft headroom. But very nice widebeam. Love the fact it’s a hybrid too. Best wishes
A Wonderful finish and fantastic design. I love the idea of being able to navigate the uk system but at the same time hop across to the french canals...esp the midi. I feel a rather large itch coming on.
A beautiful boat for it's designed market. Which is definitely NOT on the western shores of the Atlantic Ocean LOL. I do like that you've acknowledged that you may need to burn "stinky fuel" at times when the sun isn't shining.
It would be nice to see long boats in North America on the Great Lakes they would be and awesome fit and perfect for the great loop go cruising in style.
@@gordonchapman222 Maybe that Vanderbilt guy was right: "If you have to ask the cost, you can't afford it" 🤣 It is not just the boat ... It is the marina- slip fee, the in/out fees in (spring/fall) the over-winter storage fee, license, registration, insurance, lifejackets, in several sizes, for your guests (have to be replace periodically, after a few years because the material loses it's buoyancy). Gasoline, maintenance, repairs, etc.. ... It adds up fast, even for a small boat.
So to shake you out of dreamland and back into reality, how many times are you going to hit the lock gates and get hit by other boaters before you decide its best to sell it before you destroy it?
Wonderful boat. Just some things I would have made different. I would have used floor heating. Some sound dampening panels in the living room and a different heck. It just looks like the money run out especially when fully closed because of bad weather. I really like the size. The hight of the ceiling and the way to get on the deck. And of corse that is electric. Must be a stunning feeling to silently drive on the river. Also the guest room with the spare bed is a very good solution. And the interior indeed looks very luxurious.
I so want to live/travel on a boat like this good for the Earth/ppl + fun and safe also save money as you travel on things like gas/hotel/motel love you RUclips
Looks like a very efficient use of space. I'm guessing these primarily stay within canals and small bays. Looks like a luxury apartment, but on the water. What is the cost difference to live on the water across the pond?
In winter we find most users stop cruising so have access to shore power. If this isn't the case the backup generator can be used when solar isn't sufficient.
Gorgeous boat! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thx for sharing.😊 *NOW all you Brits have to do is to convince the UK government that one or two of the linking* (central area) *canals between* *the north and south* (i.e. north and south; where the wider canals exist) *have to be expanded/widened!* 😁 QUESTION: Why don't British boats have screens on the windows? (I know this model has AC) But ..... Is there an option of curtain-style screens for the doors?. (subscribed)
Lovely looking boat and superb quality, but its out of place on the UK network. Ideally it should be on the European networks where it would look more at home, and have the style and class to stand out amongst equals. Plus the solar system would really come into its own. Enjoyed the presentation and a peak at what can be done when money is not the main priority. Cheers
Great video and nice to see someone designing boat all electric now and that's the way to go I would say and no fuel costs at all but the question is qhats the cost of the boat but a very well idea and design
Stunning live aboard canal boat! The stuff of dreams! There is only one design issue, that would be a deal breaker to me. The separation and distance, between the dining table and the kitchen is no good. Seems this would be a fairly easy layout fix, though. I would rather have the kitchen area, between the dining and living room spaces.
Very nice looking boat, however the wiring for those DC2DC chargers and MPPT's is dreadful (15mins in) and probably dangerous. All those devices get hot, particularly the DC2DC Orion boxes, additionally they all have a minimun 10cm clearance requirement above and below for ventialtion. The connections look strained in some cases and in direct contact with the heat sinks. For the price, which is probaly high, one should expect very tidy wire management not something that looks like a teenager did it on a hangover. Not sure that would pass a boat electrical inspection sadly as its a fire risk. Does kinda make you wonder what the rest of the hidden wiring looks like…
Hi Nick, This was actually a substitute picture which was during the build rather than the finished article. (couldn't get a good picture once the cabinet doors were on) The DC to DC's would derate if they became hot, but they are running at 5-20% of there max capacity. The MPPT's run at 50% capacity in full sun. There temperature at rated capacity is 40c according to Victron, But when I thermal imaged them they were all within 5 degrees of ambient. From the Victron manual " Observe a minimum clearance of 10 cm optimise cooling" not dangerous, nor a requirement. Just something to optimise cooling if running at full capacity. It both would and has passed an electrical inspection.
Duncan McLeod lived on a barge on a Paris canal, it was one long room with a raised platform for a Japanese style bed at the bow. I've wanted to live on a barge ever since. I'd also settle for a Whisper catamaran or 20m schooner. Heck, a wee tugboat conversion would suit me just fine.
This is an awesome boat... I liked the design and looks!! But, trust me, you guys need a training on how to edit the video and present it to the public... My apologies for being so straight and open... You need to edit in such a way that there video should flow like continuous!! The shots too was not that good.. I am not sure, if the cameraman was allowed to shoot freely or he is new... But all in all, I liked the boat !! Good video guys.. Please do not mind my words, just trying to assist you for the next one..
The cameraman was me, the boat builder. We expected to post something on RUclips and get a couple of hundred views. Nearly quarter of a million later we realised our short comings. We will try to improve, if we do not, will hire in a professional. (likely the latter)
@@finesseboats6937 Don't worry, you can do better... Just observe others like Enes Plus, Aquaholic etc.. You will understand the technique... My apologies for saying it loudly.. It is surely an awesome boat.. Just need to present it well..
This is a free prestation on RUclips not an expensive presentation from the boat builder .you have a whinge then say " Good video guys " this is a weird post .

Lovely, beautifully fitted out, bespoke cabinetry, and even a traffic/collision avoidance system. Perfect combination of technology and comfort.

@@finesseboats6937 - can this thing travel on the ocean? Or is it restricted to inland canals, like most narrow boats?

What is the price though?

Holy crap! How beautiful and amazing is that? I have seen a gorgeous narrow boat on " Cruising the Cut". This modern take, places it alongside it.
One recommendation, raise the helm seat so the captain can see over the steering wheel.
Very observant Sir.
That was a temporary base until the hydraulic one came. It is now much higher. 😀

Went onboard today at Crick boatshow... Staggering but not for the canal network. The owners will live aboard on the Thames.
Interesting , Thank You . Looks Well designed and built . My congratulations to the owners .
Excellent design and finish, ideal if in London on shore power. A soxe suited to European canals. Good job
It needs a remote steering position from those seats on deck above the bow - perfect.

Sweet boat. Think that’s the nicest narrow boat I’ve seen. I just don’t get the all electric part. The uk isn’t know for its sunshine.
We haven't had to "plug it in" yet. Most boats in the UK sit in Marina's during winter, so can be plugged in.
Duncan McLeod lived on a barge on a Paris canal, it was one long room with a raised platform for a Japanese style bed at the bow. I've wanted to live on a barge ever since. I'd also settle for a Whisper catamaran or 20m schooner. Heck, a wee tugboat conversion would suit me just fine.
Would like to see more and probation
Wow!! does that bad boy fit through all the canals, tunnels & bridges?
Nope
Fridge freezer, that’s really cool. Lol.
Fantastic boat, desperately needs an “aquaholic” tour 🤞🤞🤞
Was just thinking that Nick would do a great tour of this boat with Maggie!
That would be great, I'll try to send him a message.
This is an awesome boat... I liked the design and looks!! But, trust me, you guys need a training on how to edit the video and present it to the public... My apologies for being so straight and open... You need to edit in such a way that there video should flow like continuous!! The shots too was not that good.. I am not sure, if the cameraman was allowed to shoot freely or he is new... But all in all, I liked the boat !! Good video guys.. Please do not mind my words, just trying to assist you for the next one..
The cameraman was me, the boat builder. We expected to post something on RUclips and get a couple of hundred views. Nearly quarter of a million later we realised our short comings. We will try to improve, if we do not, will hire in a professional. (likely the latter)
@@finesseboats6937 Don't worry, you can do better... Just observe others like Enes Plus, Aquaholic etc.. You will understand the technique... My apologies for saying it loudly.. It is surely an awesome boat.. Just need to present it well..
This is a free prestation on RUclips not an expensive presentation from the boat builder .you have a whinge then say " Good video guys " this is a weird post .
The guys will be interested in the steering info?? Sexist much? And what's with the big cross on the foredeck?
That boat is cool as hell. I just can’t imagine only being able to drive it in a canal having to worry about hitting a wall the whole trip
i often think how these boats could have more tricky extra options incorporated into them from watching how the Americans do their RV busses.
“There’s a fridge freezer, that’s pretty cool.”……………It’s just as well. 🤔🤣🤣🤣👍
Is it liveaboard? Canals only, or seaworthy too? Does it have some extra energy source, or only the roof pannels?
Love to know the price of the finished article.......
Beautiful boat
A very livable space !
