A look back at our time at Crick 2026 — what a weekend 🚤

We met so many fantastic people, talked boats non-stop, and loved seeing the industry come together once again.
It reminded us exactly why we’re passionate about what we do at Midway Boats Group.
From brokerage boats to bespoke new builds and Ross’s incredible paintwork, we’re excited for what’s ahead.
If you met us at Crick — thank you for stopping by 👋

Beautiful 51ft SeaOtter narrowboat built from durable marine-grade BS5083 aluminium, offering lightweight cruising, excellent longevity and reduced maintenance compared to traditional steel boats. Due to age and ill health, the owners have reluctantly decided to sell this much-loved boat.

“Our Serendipity” features a bright and spacious layout with a fixed double bed at the stern, convertible lounge seating, dinette area, fitted galley kitchen, pump-out toilet, separate shower cubicle and extensive storage throughout. The boat comfortably sleeps up to 4 people.

Powered by a reliable Kubota / Nanni N40 diesel engine with annual servicing history and last full service completed in 2025. Equipped with Webasto diesel central heating, Victron inverter, 4 leisure batteries, double glazing upgrades, integrated radio, fridge with freezer compartment and self pump-out macerator system.

The boat benefits from a Boat Safety Certificate valid until August 2029 and a full out-of-water survey completed in 2023.

While structurally solid and mechanically sound, there are a few minor cosmetic TLC jobs remaining, reflected in the asking price. A fantastic opportunity to own a highly regarded SeaOtter narrowboat with many years of cruising life ahead.

£67,000 ONO.
