What's the Worst Thing About Boat Life? 10 Things you Need to Know!

Here are our top ten reasons why you SHOULDN'T buy a narrowboat. If you can cope with these... then maybe boat life is right for you! We're Jack & Gabby. We've been living in our narrowboat home since 2019. If you're considering taking up a life on the water, hopefully, we can help you weigh up the pros and cons of this lifestyle. For us, the positives to living on a narrowboat far outweigh the negatives - but these are our ten biggest downsides to living this alternative life on the water. We've written an article outlining our positives as well as the negatives on our website - you can read that here: https://thistiny.life/is-boat-life-ri... If you're new to the channel, this is our original boat, Flora. But, we are soon moving off her! We've just bought a brand new sailaway, an empty shell, which we are turning into our off-grid, fully electric, floating eco home.
