Life aboard a large boat has many benefits, and can provide an idyllic existence, where you control your own environment and your speed of life. In the limited space provided it is possible to create a cosy, yet minimalist setting, while having all the modern amenities available. One of the biggest benefits of living afloat is the ability to travel. Many of the most beautiful and natural areas in the UK include waterways that can be traversed by narrow boats and yachts, allowing an unusual and deeply immersing experience. Gorgeous countryside scenes and river towns, as well as plenty of canal side pubs are hidden in the mazes of the British waterways.
This lifestyle can be practical too, saving money over renting or paying a mortgage. Keeping fit is also easy, when you have locks to open and close, ropes to tie, and general boat maintenance to take care of.
