A 1-year Canal & River Trust boat licence is included with the prize. This means you can moor the boat for FREE (on a continuous cruising basis) along any public stretch of the canals & rivers that the CRT manages. We will offer our knowledge and guidance to the winner as we’ve cruised the majority of the UK waterways network! We firmly believe that continuous cruising is the most fulfilling and exciting way to experience the boating lifestyle! Alternatively, there are plenty of long-term residential moorings available across the country to suit a range of budgets (and are generally much cheaper than rent!). These can be found at marinas, boatyards and in towns/cities, should the winner wish to take up a more permanent location.

Yes, Dottie has been completely refitted by us at Marwood Makes! But that’s not all, the thoughtfully curated selection of soft furnishings, bedding, and crockery comes with the prize too! 

This prize is a guaranteed draw once!

So far in the last year we have given away over £500,000 worth of prizes without ever needing to cancel a competition! So there is absolutely no risk to you in taking part. 

We will attempt to call the winner via phone on the live draw on Instagram and Facebook, failing that we will contact you via email. The lucky winner will have 7 days to respond.

The total amount of tickets on sale for the competition is limited to 28,000.

The easiest way to enter the competition is to answer the simple competition question and buy tickets online. Entrants may also enter the competition using the free postal entry method.

The number of entries is limited to 60 per person.

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! And with a portion of the ticket proceeds going to charity, we’re together helping a few more people too.

The competition is open to all residents of United Kingdom and Ireland aged 18 and over.

Absolutely! Ensuring a fair and transparent competition is our top priority. As a UK-incorporated company, we adhere to strict competition terms and conditions, and our website has been reviewed by a solicitor to ensure full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. 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.

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 26 October 2024 @ 9pm!
