REDUCED to encourage a quick sale, the very competitvely priced BETSY. Now £54,995

Betsy is a 62ft 7in cruiser stern narrowboat built by Black Prince in 2013 on a Pro Build shell.

A standout feature is her recently repainted superstructure, completed just before coming to market, giving her a clean and refreshed external appearance.

Originally built for the hire fleet, Betsy offers a practical and adaptable layout suited to extended cruising or liveaboard use. The aft cabin has been configured with a four-seater bench area, ideal for dining or use as a workspace, while the layout allows access to two shower rooms without passing through sleeping areas.

She sleeps up to four and is powered by a Canaline 42hp engine with PRM 150 hydraulic gearbox, and an Aquadrive coupling to help reduce noise and vibration. Heating is via Eberspacher diesel central heating, with hot water from the engine and boiler. A 2kW inverter/charger provides 230V power when off-grid.

Located at North Kilworth Marina, please give us a call to arrange a viewing on 01788 822 115 or email [email protected]

What a fantastic weekend we had at Crick Boat Show, despite the scorching weather!

It was such a pleasure to catch up with past customers and hear how much they are still enjoying life on the water.

We also had the opportunity to speak with many people just beginning their boating journey, and we hope to have the chance to play a part in helping some of them find the right boat.

As always, it was great to network and catch up with other professionals. There is something invaluable about taking the time to chat with fellow brokers and industry colleagues, discussing how things are evolving within the inland waterways world.

We took part in a British Marine Inland masterclass, where we were proud to offer guidance on the top ten things to look for when buying a boat.

Tim got to meet Amy and Wes which made his weekend!

Finally, as a family run business, it was especially lovely to welcome my parents, and Dan’s grandparents to the stand.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us, we had a great weekend, and we wish Ian from Waterways World a very happy retirement.

Today I (Emma) did something that pushed me well outside my comfort zone. I co-presented a masterclass at Crick Boat Show.

As part of a British Marine Inland presentation, we delivered a session on The Top 10 Things to Look for When Buying a Boat—sharing practical advice to help buyers navigate what can often feel like an overwhelming process.

Public speaking isn’t something that comes naturally to me, so stepping up in front of a full room was definitely a challenge.

A huge thank you to Nick from Aqueduct Marina, Church Minshull, who was a brilliant co-presenter. His knowledge, professionalism, and calm delivery made it a pleasure to present alongside him, and I think together we delivered a session that was informative and useful ☺️
