Peace of mind with our credentials

It’s imperative to us that our competitions are fair and transparent. We’ve therefore taken the following measures to ensure our competitions are appropriately run:

  • SOLICITOR APPROVED: Our website and terms & conditions have been reviewed by a third party solicitor who has confirmed we are running the competition in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations (e.g. The Gambling Act 2005 and Advertising Standards).
  • SECURE PAYMENT METHODS: We only accept major payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay & PayPal) and we never see or store your card details.
  • REGISTERED UK COMPANY: We’re a UK incorporated limited company, available to view publicly on Companies House: Marwood Makes Limited (Company Number 14646168). Our Registered Office is 165 Holcombe Close, Bath, BA2 6UR.

Your Questions Answered

What are my odds of winning?

The odds of winning the boat with 1 entry is 1 in 50,000. This increases to 1 in 10,000 with 5 tickets, or 1 in 25,000 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?

The exterior images used for advertising come directly from COLECRAFT, while all the interior work is exclusively done by us at Marwood Makes! Since this prize is for a custom-built boat made to order, we’re showcasing our previous projects to give you a glimpse of what you can expect. But that’s not all—the prize also includes a thoughtfully curated selection of soft furnishings, bedding, and crockery!

Does the boat come with mooring?

YES! All of our boat prizes do come with a mooring with Lakeland Leisure Marina’s and you get one year FREE on us! Not only that but we will transport the boat to a Lakeland Leisure mooring of your choice  for FREE and we will pay for one years licence & insurance too. Not bad hey!? Find out more about the process and costs involved with licensing and mooring here! T&C’s apply.

What happens if you don’t sell enough tickets?

We will declare a guaranteed draw once we have reached our minimum sales target. We work out this by the trajectory of sales instead of a set minimum number of orders. This means like our other successful competitions, we have declared a “Guaranteed draw” once we are happy. So far in the last year we have given away over £600,000 worth of prizes. This includes 4 boats, 1 campervan and several bonus holiday experiences without ever needing to cancel a competition! In the unlikely event that we don’t sell enough entries to cover the cost of the boat build, then we may need to cancel the competition. If we decide to do this, we will refund all entry purchases (including payment fees) so there is absolutely no risk to you in taking part. We are however confident the competition will go ahead as planned, as we’ve had amazing feedback and support so far!

How many tickets are on sale?

The total amount of entries on sale for the boat competition is limited to 50,000.

How do I enter the competition?

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.

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

Who can enter the competition?

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

Is the competition legit?

It sure is! It’s imperative to us that we run a fair and transparent competition. We’re a UK incorporated company, have thorough competition terms & conditions, we’ll publish all entrants names on our website, and the prize draw will be conducted LIVE on Instagram. We’ve even had a solicitor review our website to make sure we adhere to all relevant laws and regulations. Plus we’re super friendly and kind people! See our credentials for more info.

Where is my order and name on the entry list?

To find your entries on the list, use your ticket numbers only, as searching by name or order number won’t work. If you’re having trouble, I’ve attached a screenshot that shows your name on the list, so you’ll know exactly what to look for. You might need to scroll down a bit to find your entries, but rest assured, they’re there! If you’re still unable to locate them, please check your spam folder before reaching out via email.

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. PLEASE NOTE by law we cannot extend a draw simply to sell more entries. 

 So see you for the LIVE draw on Instagram on 15th February 2025 @ 9pm!
