Welcome to Narrowboat Life Unlocked!
We are Paul & Anthony, a magician turned artist and a NHS worker living in the U.K. Some major life-changing events and a chance meeting with a liveaboard boater on the canals got us thinking there is more to life than work and a mortgage.
We decided to quit the norm and move onto a narrowboat with our dog Dexter, so we sold our house and now live aboard our 60′ narrowboat Morning Star.
Our brand new boat for 2023 is a hybrid electric propulsion boat with 1.8kw of solar, lithium batteries and an Engiro Motor.
Our aim is to live a more fulfilled and creative life, creating videos, photos and art and enjoying the beautiful canals of the United Kingdom
