FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
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!
