- A new boat show has launched in 2022, held at the NEC in Birmingham. Boat Life Live aims to be the "pre-season" (the organisers are clearly not liveaboards!) show for posh yachties but also includes a solid inland waterways contingent. Here's my record of my day there.
Videos mentioned:
Hiring a narrowboat: • 245. Narrowboat novice...
Wilderness Beavers: • 235. The tiniest canal...

Nothing better than a fantasy walk through at a lovely boat show. Like window shopping at a sport car dealership, with a couple of VW bugs thrown in to give the buyer hope. Thanks for the groovy tour Dave. Keep up the good work. Stay groovy and stay safe.
Literal LOL at “Mooring the Cut!” 😂
And yes, the models are fantastic.
It was a boat time we got a video - it looks like one hull of a fine show!
That is truly dreadful and well worth a like.🙂
The wonderful tradition of sales models continues in the UK. See the first floor model display at the national railway museum in York. Thank you for the great video.
That wide bean engine room would make an excellent garage for a folding Bicycle and some deck chairs, and maybe a great wood store to help dry out your wood maybe, Another excellent vlog, thanks for recording again.
Very interesting to see all at the boat show but you David are so the man to do the best job possible at videoing any event 👍 and then when my other legend Robbie appeared at the end, couldn't of been any better finish 🤣 x
Faaaaaaaaa, imagine taking a Wilderness Beaver up and down the Intercoastal. What a little beaut.
Wow, that Hermes Speedster boat just went straight on my lottery list! Gorgeous!
Just the very best..Your coverage is knowledgeable and your perspective interesting ..plus we get to enjoy your quirky sense of humor...Loved this vlog..thank you so much!😁🌹
Thank you
Haven't been to a boat show in ages, but I'm happy to see they're the same in the UK as on this side of the pond. Different products but the same flavor. Er, flavour.
The woodwork and crafting in those old classics looks so beautiful. Thanks for another wonderful video David.
Great that you acknowledge other TH-camrs and fellow boaters.
Thanks for sharing
Awww man! We had such a good laugh!! Let's definitely all get together again when it's a bit sunnier!! Big love! ♥️
Oh my gosh, The Beaver 🎉 hope to see you on your own one day! Not a fan of the double wide, however it is lovely if very limiting. Now if you owned the Princess, you could bus to France whenever you wanted ❤️
I think I would like to give your channel an unofficial award; "TH-cam channel award for humorous or at least moderately funny puns in a video title on a consistent basis."
Seriously, it must take some effort to keep coming up with these, don't stop! Great video as always.
Agreed!
I always enjoy the cross references to other vloggers. Somehow it makes it all the more real--actual community. I also see most of Robbie and Allan's posts, so that's a nice touch.
So much interesting stuff on offer, but alas, I'm on the other side of the planet where a canal system very nearly, but never happened.
Oh well, I can enjoy from a distance, though after watching so many episodes of Crusing the Cut (and others), I'm going to have to hop on a plane and become one of those dreaded narrowboat renters for a week--just to scratch that itch.
When other boaters yell, I'll say it was all your fault.
A great vlog David. Great for boating dreams of glory and lottery winnings with yachts based in the Bahamas. In a former life, here in Ontario, I had a client who ran the National Home Show, and I know the hours of hard work that go with putting on an event like this. Good luck to this show, and I’m sure it will be a great success for Birmingham - Birmingham? Who knew!
Thank you for sharing, another very interesting vlog🙏✝️🕊🙏
One of the best title puns yet. Coalfinger still my favourite I think.
Great video David, and it was lovely to bump into you at the show x
Another great vlog David. Eye-opener on whats available with lotto money lol. Keep up the good work. Take care .....Chris
I've always fancied those wide beams... just purchased a lottery ticket, wish me luck! ;) THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US ALONG! =)
WOW, That was a great Boat Show . Thanks for letting us look about with you.
I think walking around a show like that you are really living the dream !
Many thanks for the mention David, it was good to meet you there, all the best Alan.
Brilliant. Thank you for taking us with you. Would never have seen it if not for you..
Fantastic. Would have loved to be there !!
Great video I love how thought out they are! Voice over work is always on point and videography top notch!
What good fun! Looked like a great show. 💕😎💕😎💕
One of the best reviews I’ve seen.
Nice to see the marine industry thriving. I’m with you at The Rose and Crown being the best stand.
Loved the Aquaholic reference 😂 Passerelle indeed!
Thanks for taking us to see a fine show with a wide range of product!
I’ve never had a spontaneous purchase of a rubber dinghy 🤣Great program thank you healthy and safe travels
Really?! 🤣
That looked like fun, Thanks for taking us along!
David, I love the eclectic mix of your recent vlogs. I would thank you for the hard work but I think attending a boat show would be more pleasure than work. In either case, thank you.
Seriously, you make the best vlogs. Well done.
Thank you
Great video on the event! Was good to hear from the event director too. And you got to meet Rosie the dog! Amazing! 🐶
We feel like celebs appearing in this! ( 1:54 ) haha Was so lovely to chat to you! 👋🏻
Dang, forgot I had you in that clip, sorry. I'll add you to the links
@@CruisingTheCut aw no worries! We were just excited haha! 😊 thank you
🤤 the poshiness of the poshness of the poshy "boats" to be had was quite posh. Albeit for me, it's almost impossible to beat the charm and statelyness of a beautifully crafted wooden sailboat. A great looking show, indeed, a candyshop for the mariner!
(Please excuse the excessive use of made up words 😁)
They weren't that posh! No bridge will have to taken apart for any of them.
@@lenabreijer1311 🤣🤣 I think thats going over a few heads here.
Again, the title on the thumbnail alone is worth a like 🙂
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And Always look on the bright side of life
Thanks for taking us to the boat show, that was fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful vlog. The widebeam is a dream. Family of 4 friendly. I can't believe it only has 60hp motor. Was shocked to see the ski boat. Don't know why. Glad to see all the improvements in electric propulsion. I can see the benefits of it in the canal long term. Yes you would still need generators to constantly cruise. The floating homes are very much a possibility. We have a sheltered marine on a river, for them where I live. I enjoyed this vlog, very cool to see all the different boats and accessories. See you next time. P.S. NO You can't have twin 300 on the canal, lol.
Always a good time when TH-camrs unite.
This is one of my favorite titles you’ve done so far!! Very creative.
You are such a delightful person, love your verbal antics. Thank you for entertainment of such wonderful events. It is really enjoyable, be safe. Maranatha
You are doing a sterling job for the canals and canal folk.
They're called water gypsies
Birminghams perfectly placed for all those bullseye winners
Ah David, that was great! Really enjoyed that one. The ending was like a warm hug!
Thanks for uploading.
That ultra wide "narrow boat" would fit nicely on the mainland europe canals and rivers like the Rhine or Danube, with 60 HP it could go anywhere in style...
Lottery win dreams...
:-D
Thx for taking us with you!
:-D
It was a beaut. Perfectly styled.
Great video and it was good to meet you and your fellow narrowboating friends.
as ever, heartwarming to watch. :)
All so shiny! Great touring of what you saw, love hearing your take on things.
Loved the nick from Aquaholic bit. Brilliant.
Pleased to see that shoutout as well. 😀
Punny title from a Monty Python favorite. Thanks for showing us the ropes.
Always good to see you David 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
The perfect tonic for a grim dank day...thank you.
Great glimpse into the narrowboat universe CTC! It would be interesting to know the economic return for the participants that purchased display space. I'm struck by the growth of this narrowboat universe in the past several years, as evidenced by this show you've highlighted. Seems as though the sleepy little town all you enthusiasts grew up in there on the canals, has suddenly been discovered. Hopefully the quaintness of the beloved experience will not be diluted. We viewers are very fortunate that a consummate media pro such as you, David, is there to document the ongoing story. Cheers.
Great video, yes you probably would tear up the canals with those outboard engines! Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
Great to hear from you again, David... It's a wonder you weren't salivating as you wandered round the exhibition !!
I don't remember him saying he never did? Maybe that is why he bought a t-towel? 🤔
Very happily mindful of your play on words "life of brine", being a diehard MPFC fanatic here (and Fawlty T's, too, Cleese is beyond the pale). Lucky us.
I sometimes wonder if you ever saw Prunella Scales with her hubby on Great Canal Journeys Episode 1 (and subsequent). Cheers.
Yes, watched that
Yes, we rode along with Alan to the show and spotted you walking by. He did not take us around to see as many things so THANKS! I always read about virtual reality being similar to what Robbie Cummings was doing but I have never seen it. Thanks for the glimpse of that! When you were talking about the dinghies, I was looking at the display for the rechargeable motors and wondered if you saw them. :::::rolling my eyes:::::::
As you filmed them, making sure they description was centered in the frame AND you edited the video, you were quite aware. I used to have a good mind and a large head to go with it. Situations like that remind me of how tiny it has become. Well done with the effect. I am going to hit the caffeine and see if I can jump start this pea brain.
I'm surprised you didn't get a shot of a floral display and declare you had found the shrubbery!
Always good to hear from you.. you brighten the world
That wide boat you toured was amazing! Eye-popping space. I think that bath is larger than the ensuite we have! That boat would be amazing for full time living.
Loved the Aquaholic references, you both have excellent channels! 👍
Those houseboats looked really nice. Don't know if I'd ever be able to get one, but always look on the bright side of life, right?
Thank you for the break and distraction. What a place for a rave, loved it.
David thinks: I can paint that bilge forest green without even removing the engine. Luxury!
Excellent video, as always! Some of those boats looked really luscious - and I also liked the models.
A virtual Plethora Dave a virtual Plethora ! , excellent video as always.
I was just thinking about you David " was hoping you were cracking through this last part of winter ok. Thank you for the new video Sir. 😊
Thanks 👍
Very enjoyable tour. You brought back many found memories for me, much appreciated.
The price of that widebeam is less expensive than buying a condo where I rent my apartment. Those house barges look awesome!
Thanks for the boat show tour. Haven't been to a boat show in many years. So much fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pootling is the word of the day.
Always pootling
As usual a magnificent presentation!
Thanks David..it’s been awhile for me..i haven’t been watching lately, so it’s nice to be back
Dang, you missed loads of great stuff! ;-)
Thank you. Enjoyed the video very much! Glad to see things returning to normal.
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your videos David!
Wow! Pip Hare opened the show! She’s a Vendee Globe solo around-the-world star!
That was lovely David. really enjoyed looking at all on offer, Thank you and of course, best wishes
Once again a wonderful video! Thank you!
I love a good Boat Show and this was a great on in no small part to Cruising The Cut
Went to London show in 1990...drooled at new Prout catamaran @ 100k...2017 finally bought a 40 ft cat ! Hi from KL
Ah, back in the days when it was at Earl's Court, I suspect. I used to enjoy going there.
What an absolutely smashing boat show! I wanted one of everything! So much fun to see all the different boats.
Well done David.
i spy Amy and Wes from Boat time in the queue for the widebeam :)
Like yours, Nick's channel is completely addicting...
No wide load for me. Who would want to limit their available options on the canals? And the cost! Also from my experience with different size campers, there is something satisfying about Over coming limitations, and more incentive to get outside when at all possible. Thank you, interesting video👍
Always enjoy the boat shows you attend.
Just thinking about Nick being there as you said it. A fine fellow from Torquay as well. Like me. 😆
I love those kind of trade shows, I'm like a kid in a candy store! Another well done video sir.
I love a wooden boat but that clockwork toy boat was my favourite! 😁 Thanks for sharing.
Thx for taking us to the show💜
Thank you for that. We had the Seattle boat show a couple of weeks ago. I did not go. I would love to have another sailboat.
Great to see you………boat shows are a lot of fun…..all fantasy
This tour of the boat show was fun, I would want that model of the houseboat, too. And you've got Aquaholic Nick down!
Thank you David.
I have the best time when you and I go out David LOL this was fantastic !!! Boats are so pretty.
Fully with you on your shipchandler addiction! They exercice an attraction like the sirens on Ulysses. Never left a chandlery empty handed🤣
Great video, cheers,
2:37 I would never have imagined it’s simply the lack of space that keeps you from the rave lifestyle. 😂 9:40 Total retro Bond villain vibes. With the right suit and sunglasses you could take over the canals in that thing. 😎
