- We are Marina and Myles. In January 2019 we bought a 62-foot narrowboat in Great Haywood, brought it down to London and became official liveaboards a couple of months later. We didn’t know what we were doing at first, but after the first winter aboard we felt like we graduated as boaters. In this episode we show you the full tour of our narrowboat.
Thank you for watching our first ever vlog, we hope you enjoyed it.

Top tip living on a canal boat is not classed as living off grid
from Vancouver Canada. What an adventure you two are having. I told my wife that if we were 50 years younger, I'd want to live on a narrow boat cruising the British canals. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
You've created a really cute, comfortable home on your boat.
Elspeth Awake thank you so much!
This boat is certainly well designed with the courage to be different.
Norm G Thank you so much!
@@CruisingAlba wheres the TV
That is probably the best narrowboat layout I’ve seen, windows letting light in at all the right places, spacious, cute bath, really great vibe about it. You must be so chuffed. 🙏🏻🥰 Will be taking a look at your other videos and subscribe. Blessings and harmony on your adventures x
Clare Rowell thank you Clare! Yes we are so happy with Alba!
What a beautiful space! I've watched many other narrowboat tours, and I must say, this is my favorite of all! The space is so well laid out, and it's full of character, but evokes a really peaceful feeling as well :) Looking forward to your next episode!
Emily Galvin you are very kind! 🙏
Cozy Home ! I Love your colors you chose.
Many Thanks 🥰👍!
I've decided to watch every one of your videos, so I want to your channel and i'll be watching them in order of posting! Great channel!!

I live in New Zealand and my lady friend lives in Essex. we are now looking for our own boat and hitting the cut before this year is out... (I hope) John in NZ and Ruth in the uk. Kaiora mai..
Your boat is awesome! Great use of space xx
Just love the layout and space in your boat❤️
Hi, just found your channel and I love your home. Going to be binge watching your videos 😁
What a great first vlog and a lovely laid out boat looks so comfortable, the space you have is amazing so much room for canal living. Simon
Simon Howells thank you Simon. This means a lot!
I adore the layout of your boat Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing. I just found you on CZcams and love your life adventure. It's so much fun to see how you live on a boat. Will be watching lots more!!
Hi Robbyn, firstly, we’re so thrilled to hear that you’ve found us on here and that you have enjoyed our video - we always love hearing from our new subscribers so WELCOME!! We are excited to show you whats to come 🥰 💜 xx
What an honest and comprehensive tour.
I've watched a few boat tours and think your layout is by far the best.
Subscribed. I love it when CZcams throws a new channel at me that I like. Both of you have lovely, calming voices that are great to listen to.
Trevor Nelmes thank you! That’s so kind of you! Welcome 😬
Looks fabulous loads of room. Thanks for sending the link.
Our pleasure! Hope you found it useful!
Love this narrowboat!
Fantastic video guys love it. Going to follow you good look
What a lovely narrowboat you have. I love it. 💕
Really lovely decor and I love the way you have laid it out. One of the nicest narrow-boats I've seen. It's such a shame about the theft of your plants.
GOOD LUCK YOU TWO ON GETTING THE BOAT AND THE WAY YOU HAVE DONE IT UP. And your new life. And also joining a large family of boaters. Just check out all the others like I do. I don't own one myself but would have loved to...Keep Safe. 😷.
ha! this was a boat I looked at when I was shopping, and then saw it again at Knowle Hall Wharf getting some work... I thought it looked familiar, and then when you said Alba, well... small world! :-)
how fun, small world indeed!
Hey, how cool! A vintage second-millenium washing machine that still works! And a proper bath! And a good-sized bedroom! And the little seat on the 'upper deck'. This is not typical narrowboat living in any way.
I’ve been watching and enjoying your “cruising Alba vlogs” for some time now, but today I accidentally or by chance came across your 1st video!! Can see how you’ve progressed.
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful boat. Great layout. Love the seating on the 'top deck'. I'm still searching for my first, hoping after the world calms down a bit..stay safe peeps
Wonderful lifestyle, so exciting!
Beautiful use of space ! Thanks for sharing ! I’m amazed at that clothes washing machine!
Thank you Alison 😊
What a fantastic vidio. Really enjoyed watching it. Many thanks from Chris
Just found you! Love your channel, right up my street, big love from Cornwall ❤️🐚
I think its PERFECT!!!!!
Melissa Twitchell Thank you!
I love Marinas accent. For a while I was convinced it was South African, Until I saw her comment below that she is Russian. All the best from South Africa!
Thanks Mike 🙂 South Africa sounds dreamy, we were going to go to Zim this May but obv couldn't... One day! Have a lovely weekend 💜
Thanks for the tour of your boat, it looks particularly spacious for it's size, and homely. Happy Christmas and lets hope for a much better 2021. All the best.
Thanks you so much David, big hugs xx
Great first vlog. Your bedroom is massive!
Tim S thank you Tim! Alba is 62 foot
WoW! Surprised at the size of your bed. Guess if you didn’t want a walk through boat then the queen size bed is definitely the way to go! Thanks for sharing! Hugs from Texas, USA
Thank you!
New subscriber here! I look forward to catching up on all of your videos!
The reason the beds so high guys, not for storage but does help, it’s because the boat floor is under water by a foot or more so very cold, heat rises from your multi burner. You will love it guys as I do, remember one rule preparation is key. And safety first guys, never rush a lock never get complacent ❤️
I've been on that boooat!! Great video guys very professional :D Loving the new bench!
Cult of Melkor thanks Matt!! Can’t wait to have you back 😊
Wow I love your floating home so much! You have more worktop space in your kitchen than I have in my flat.
251 st subscriber congratulations hope for more great videos
Layout is beautifully random and cos of that seems more spacious and comfortable, nice boat, good first video
Thank you, you are very kind!

Thank you Janet!

Glad you enjoyed it! Marina 💜
Fabulous ❤️
Lovely home. Love the white and teal colour scheme.
Thank you 😊❤️
Well done. Put a ring on her Myles!
That's really nice .always interesting to see other boaters ideas . I thought the loose non fitted furniture worked really well and a great colour scheme . My wife would kill for bathroom and bedroom of that size.
Jason Brant thank you! Yep we are really lucky with the boat this size!
I always love seeing how other people set up their boats, lovely long boat!
I just have enough room for Yoga myself, so totally understand where you are coming from there xx
At last a narrow boat thats not like a caravan. Loved it. Good luck.
East Stander thank you 😊

Taysky!!! Aww you are too kind! Glad you like our films 😀💜
This is lovely, I would live in it in a heartbeat, very homely and comfortable and some good ideas, but I would need a long curtain in the bathroom entrance, maybe a cheap shower curtain, a longer one, which will be good for moisture as they dry in seconds, well done on this
Thank you!
plenty of beach between there an london. gatta look at the video again. It is a nice narrow boat.
You're Video production skills has improved immensely over the two years! I'm an avid fan!!
Such a very nice boat!
