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.

We will publish the names of all entrants on our website, and the prize draw will be conducted live on Instagram. It’s important to note that by law, we are obligated to award the advertised prize in full; under no circumstances can we offer a reduced cash amount or a percentage of sales, as that would violate trading standards.
