I recognise this boat. One of the most respected boat-tubers on youtube. Highly respected, highly knowledgeable and have been cruising the canals for decades. They recently did a tour of the interior which is how I recognised it. They never advertised the name of the boat for privacy reasons so at least now I know what they named her. Whoever grabs this narrowboat is very lucky.

Thanks for your reply,yes your right it’s a very impressive boat,but only 62 foot long, the mooring is a fantastic entertaining space with plenty of private area for the bbq and dining. The ever is actually the Trent and Mersey canal in the heart of the country near the junction of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal,an ideal location for touring the inland waterways Thanks Simon

The inside of this is stunning, exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't cope with all portholes. I wish I could find my perfect boat.
@simonboden23603 жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for your comments. We initially wanted windows as we had windows in our previous stoke on Trent boat. But after viewing a boat the same as ours, we would never go back to having windows. You really need to come and see it to appreciate the perspective of the portholes. For privacy and security and a more traditional look. Thanks Simon
@Charlienmeg3 жыл бұрын
@@simonboden2360 I tried. I hired a boat with all portholes. I really couldn't do it. I would need a hatch at the very least, but I need windows that open. I'm slightly claustrophobic so I really have to be careful. Thanks for the response though x
@LibbyRal3 жыл бұрын
@@Charlienmeg I'm with you. I'd want one almost all glass. Oh to be motoring along the canals and see all the beautiful scenery going by. Curtains would solve the privacy issue. I have the same complaint about RV's as well.

Why are selling such a nice boat?
@simonboden23603 жыл бұрын
Hi Rob,the reason for selling Alfred has been one of the hardest decisions l’ve hard to come to terms with.After boating for over 40 years ,having traveled virtually every mile of the inland waterways ,l’ve decided let Alfred go to another family who will benefit and get as much pleasure as myself and my family have had , it’s been a fabulous adventure but it’s time to follow a new path and a new adventures. That and my wife says so!!! Thanks Simon .
