HOW IT WORKS
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.
Custom Boat Competition 1
“Entering this competition was the best thing we have ever done! Mollie and Jason are just great, we love Marwood Makes! We can't believe we have won our own customised widebeam!”
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!”
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!"
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."
