Top tips to remember: • A full central heating system is provided in our standard price, therefore, whilst designing the layout think about the location of the radiators. On a 60ft boat we’ll normally install five radiators. • A cratch board and cover provides a covered outdoor space over the front deck – ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine in Spring and Autumn evenings, or hanging wet coats and dirty boots! • Most ‘double’ beds run the length ways along the boat and tend to be 4 feet wide. If you’re looking for more elbow room think about a bed extension or for maximum use of space consider a king size ‘cross’ bed (a bed that is situated across the width of the boat and that when folded down covers the walkway).

Getting married, buying a house, buying a car are but a few. Buying a new bespoke designed narrowboat does not rate with getting married (depends!!!), but it’s definitely up there with the house and far outweighs the car. Once we had decided that we were going to make that investment the next big and most important decision is, who is going to build it for us? There are many unpleasant stories of how things can go wrong. So, we needed a builder whose boats are admired on the cut, and most importantly, that we could work with, who has a team of people (both front office and crafts persons) that we knew have the skills and knowledge to be able to support us in building our dream. That’s where Justin and the team at Aqua Narrowboats fit the bill. It’s surprising how many decisions have to be made during the build process, from the size of shower which fixes the position of the porthole so that it sits in the middle of the panel (who would have thought!!!!!), to, do we have blinds or bungs and what colour material should they and the dinette be? Justin and the team were there to help guide us along the journey because that’s what it is, a journey that we had been thinking about for years and then, it all comes together in about 6 months. If there were to be a “Shuffle Hop Toe Two” then we would still choose Justin and the Aqua team to take us along that journey and we would not hesitate to recommend them to you. David and Sheila
