This is not your average boat competition

This summer, one person will win £100,000 to spend on the floating home of their choice.

You’ll be able to choose from boats listed on the Marwood Makes Marketplace, already full of beautifully kept Narrowboats, Widebeams, and Dutch barges. And here’s the best part—whatever you don’t spend, you pocket in cash!

Yes, we really do give away boats and not just any boats.

This prize comes with the option of a full Marwood Makes makeover—our signature soft tones, simple materials, and clever design, all brought together with care.

Step 1 – Choose your dream boat. Traditional or modern, it’s entirely up to you.
Step 2 – We’ll restore her with love and attention to detail. It’s what we do best, and we’ve built our name on it.
Step 3 – Or, if you’d rather keep her as she is, that’s absolutely fine too. The choice is yours.

This isn’t just a giveaway. It’s a complete lifestyle shift, and a rare chance to start fresh on the water, in a way that truly feels like yours.

Who Are We?

About Marwood Makes

We’re a small, family-run business with a big belief—that life doesn’t have to follow the usual path.

At Marwood Makes, we design and restore floating and rolling homes that feel calm, beautiful, and completely personal. Whether it’s a full boat transformation, a campervan conversion, or helping someone find their first off-grid home, our work is always about more than just interiors. It’s about building a way of life.

Over the past five years, we’ve lived on boats, travelled in vans, raised our children on the move, and put everything we’ve learned into the spaces we create. Every competition we run helps us continue this work—restoring beautiful old boats, supporting our small team, and sharing a slower, more intentional lifestyle with others.

This isn't just a business. It’s our way of life. And we’re so glad you’re here to be part of it.

A New Way To Begin, Afloat.

This prize offers more than just the chance to win £100,000—it opens the door to a slower, simpler life on the water.

Whether you're drawn to the charm of a traditional boat or inspired by the clean, quiet style of a Marwood Makes restoration, you'll have the freedom to choose what suits you best.

And we’re not new to this—this is the 6th boat we’ve given away.

Over the past few years, we’ve become known for creating custom prizes that reflect each winner’s personal style and story. No two are ever the same.

You choose the boat.

We’ll help shape the life that comes with it.

We’re here to support your next chapter, whatever shape it takes!

Entries are now open.

Louisa & Mike

Summer Bee The Narrowboat

“Winning Summer Bee has been the most exciting and unbelievable experience. For over 2 years I have dreamt of a narrowboat life for me and my lovely family. Mollie and Jason are genuinely the most lovely couple who have completely changed our lives. Thank you, you’re amazing!”

Zoe Jeffery

Dottie The Narrowboat

"From the initial phone call telling me I had won, to delivery of the boat last month, the whole experience has been amazing. Jason & Mollie are lovely, genuine people who have been incredibly supportive and delivered everything they promised!"

Alison Bentley

Custom Boat Competition 2

"Happily stunned when I received the call. I had only bought the tickets on a whim the previous day. I have always thought of buying a canal boat after having a few boating holidays and now my dreams have come true thanks to Marwood Makes."

John Pitcher

Luella Campervan Competition

“I couldn’t believe it was actually me. Thank you, Jason, Mollie, the kids, and the team for this amazing gift that our whole family will enjoy!”

Your Questions Answered

What are my odds of winning?

The odds of winning the boat with 1 entry is 1 in 30,000. This increases to 1 in 6,000 with 5 tickets, or 1 in 15,000 if you have 2 tickets. To put this into perspective, the chances of winning with a single entry is 1000 times better than the lottery.

Is it the boat in the photos that I’ll be winning?

Not necessarily. The photos on the site are there to show the kind of boats we love and the style we're known for. The actual boat will be chosen by the winner from our Marketplace listings, with up to £100,000 to spend.

If the winner prefers, we can also give the boat a full Marwood Makes makeover—bringing in our signature design and details to make it feel like home. So while it may not be the boat in the photos, it could absolutely look and feel just like it.

Does the boat come with mooring?

Yes, the prize comes with access to a mooring at one of the stunning Lakeland Leisure Marinas. We’ll help connect you with a location that suits you and guide you through the process of securing a space.

Please note: mooring fees and boat delivery are not included as part of the prize. The winner will be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of transport and mooring.

We do, however, cover the first year of licence and insurance—so once the boat is in place, you’re ready to go.


T&Cs apply.

How many tickets can I buy?

Each person is limited to 60 entries in this competition. We want to keep the competition fair for everyone taking part and believe it’s responsible to have a reasonable limit in place

Why are you running this competition?

Having lived on boats for years, we have experienced the magic and freedom that liveaboard boating brings. We want more people to experience this magic, and we are running this competition so that one lucky winner can have a life-changing prize. Not only do they win their dream adventure home, but they will also experience the boating lifestyle that we are so passionate about!

Who can enter the competition?

The competition is open to all residents of the UK and Republic of Ireland aged 18 and over.

Is the competition legit?

It sure is! We've now given away five boats, with this being our sixth competition—and every single one has gone ahead exactly as promised.

Running a fair and transparent competition is incredibly important to us. We're a UK-incorporated company, we have clear and thorough terms & conditions, and we publish all entrants' names on our website for full transparency.

The prize draw is conducted LIVE on Instagram, and we’ve even had a solicitor review our entire website to ensure it complies with all relevant laws and regulations.

And most importantly? We're real people—kind, honest, and genuinely here to help.

Will the closing date or draw be postponed?

The closing date or draw date will only be postponed in exceptional circumstances (as per our terms & conditions), but we are confident that the competition will take place on the current closing date.

So see you for the LIVE draw on Instagram on 7th June 2025 @ 9pm!
