Simply stunning ❤
Thank you Sheila ❤
Holy smokes - you two might have made the most practical and beautiful narrow boat I’ve ever seen
😊. It is more like a floating apartment for us. Glad you like her. ❤️
An enormous amount of careful thought and planning went into making your new boat. Everyone - you two, the team at Oakums, and those with helpful suggestions - is to be heartily congratulated!
Thanks so much Paul. They really have done us proud. We love our new boat. Have a good weekend ❤
It’s so fabulous 🫶
I’m just looking at his c&@k
Wow Oakham’s have taken NB design to the next level, what a team they are!
They have done an amazing job Stuart. They are a great team too. Have a good weekend ❤
Breathtaking! Superlatives fail me. So deserved. Enjoy every second on your beautiful home. 💚💚💚
Thank you so much Kath. We absolutely love her. Hope you have a nice weekend ❤
I thought the same thing about the white covers. Thanks for addressing so I no longer worry 🤣
Yeah, was definitely a concern but they do make the stern and bow so much brighter Shannon. ❤
Lovely boat and lovely people. And of course, it's good to see Dexter looks so at home too.
Thank you Raymond. We absolutely love our new home and even more because of the space Dexter has. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤
I wow best canal boat ever, I really love the comfortable modern light and airy design stunning. 😘
Thank you. That is definitely the best bit about the boat. So much brighter. Hope you have a lovely weekend❤
She’s absolutely beautiful. A shining example of how a boat aught to be. Comfortable, airy, light, electric, with tech to boot. I couldn’t be more chuffed for you both. I caught myself smiling over how beautiful Morning Star is.
Aww thank you. We definitely feel that this is the future of boating. We love how she just feels like a floating apartment. Glad you like her. Hope you have a lovely week ❤
Most beautiful canal boat I have seen. Love the detailed info on all systems.
Thank you Angie. We love her. Have a good weekend ❤
What a privilege to get such a lovely tour of your new home! You even thought of Dexter NEEDING to get to the foot of HIS bed! It's truly brilliant, and I can't wait for more adventures on it! Thank you for letting us see it in such detail.
Thanks Deb. There were definitely features we incorporated to make it easier for Dexter. Can’t wait for our next chapter aboard. Have a good week and take care ❤
Love the boat
Cheers Jason. Have a lovely weekend ❤
Amazing new boat! Thank you so much for inviting us in for a tour of your new home. I know you'll enjoy it for many years to come: love to you all!
💚💚💚
Thank you for coming along with us. Glad you like her. She feels like home now all our things are aboard. Have a lovely weekend ❤
You must have noticed the difference financially with no coal gas or diesel to buy 😊 your boat is anmazing … congratulations 🎉
Thank you so much. We will haven’t been on long enough I guess to compare price differences but this will be a potential vlog in 6 months say to compare. Have a lovely weekend ❤
Ingenious storage throughout your boat!
They have done a fab job Alison. Made up. Have a good week ❤
She's an absolute smasher I'm well jealous 😃👍
Thank you Mich. 😊
Looks brilliant
Thank you 👍
Wow! What a brilliant layout. You and the boat builders have put so much thought into everything for your boat. Not an inch of space has been wasted. I love it ❤. Well done. Now enjoy your new boat. 🤩
Thank you Edna. They really have thought through the design. We love her. Hope you have a good weekend ❤
Absolutely in love with you new boat, 1 question though was the interior inspired by cooking with the stars? Xx
@@vanessathrussell1714 thanks Vanessa. Glad you like her. Lol. Never seen cooking with the stars ❤️
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 we will definitely have to meet up when your back our way. You need to watch the new series of it there tiles and the copper green splash back is exactly the same lol xx
@@vanessathrussell1714 ❤️
Your boat is lovely!
Thank you Faye 💕
I just absolutely love this boat and the ethos around it. You boys have done good! And Anthony, I remember in the early days when you weren’t that keen to be on camera and to see how confident you are now is a joy to watch 🥰 Have a love;y weekend ☺️
Thank you Lesley. Glad you like her. Aww I used to hate the camera. How things have changed. Have a lovely week ❤
Absolutely stunning .. Enjoy every minute .. Xerox
Thank you so much and thanks for watching xx
Of course the best tour is by the owners themselves, a very complete introduction to your new home and studio. ❤❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Hope you have a good weekend ❤
It’s an absolute cracker👍well done guys and enjoy it all
Thank you so much. Glad you liked. Have a good week ❤
As fellow liveaboarders (is that a word? Lol), we just want to say that your boat is absolutely stunning. Enjoy guys
It is indeed 😂 (or at least we use that word). Glad you like her. We love being aboard. Hope you are keeping well. Happy cruising ❤
Just found your vlog and have subscribed. What a beautiful and state of the art Boat. I was a former Royal Marine, then worked in Ship Repair, also doing Ship board maintenance at Sea, then owned a Sea Angling Boat. I love Ships, Boats and everything about them. You have one fantastic Boat and have certainly done your homework. I hope you both love and enjoy your life on board , have no mishaps and reap the benefits of your work. ❤❤
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching and it certainly sounds like you have had some adventure in your life. 👍
wow, thats an awesome narrow boat, love it! The fact that you've gone all electric & it's renewable at that, is perfect. Love the colours, design, layout & look, certainly a lot of thought has gone into it. Those under cupboard drawers are seriously good! Thanks for sharing fella's, it great! Enjoy!
Cheers Craig.
Oakums definitely put a lot of thought into the design and it makes it feel much more like an apartment than a boat. We absolutely love her. Have a good Sunday ❤
makes me wish we had canals like yours ,in the usa
Thanks David. We are very lucky to have this amazing network of canals. Love the lifestyle too. Greetings to you from across the pond ❤
By far the most beautiful boat home that I have seen! Thank you for allowing us to get a personal tour of your new home.
Thank you so much 😊. We love her and are so pleased with the end result. Have a fab week and take care ❤
Absolutely bloody marvellous. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching 👍
Your new boat is absolutely magnificent and the natural light, wow!
Thank you for the tour gents. Happy cruising!
Thanks Mike. Glad you like her. The skylights definitely make a massive difference. Have a lovely week ❤
A really good and close look at everything aboard. There was not one thing that I thought "They should have done this or that". Between you and Oakhams you really thought it all out perfectly. Please keep a log of electric use/how many times and hours you have to run the genny. I think most people will be eager to see that. When I say, you have a fantastic boat, I do not exaggerate one iota. It is modern in rather classic world of ploddiing narrow boats, but you will fit in the saying "That's the way to do it!" - Thanks very much for a most interesting video, I wish you both happiness, reliability and above all SAFE cruising. The dog will help you with the techy stuff I'm sure, he looks very clever!!! LOL Bye for now John
Hey John. Glad you enjoyed the tour. The Oakums team have definitely designed us a brillInt live aboard boat. We do plan to do a costing and solar to consumption vlog when we have enough data. We are interested to see this ourselves too.
Dexter is definitely a clever dog. 😊. Have a lovely week and take care ❤
Hi Anthony - Thanks for the info, I am following you chaps (not along the canal) !! All the best my friends!!
@@bindatek8801 thank you. Take care 😊
Oh she is just perfect! So happy for you guys, what a lovely life! Xxxx
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Xx
❤Love your boat
Thank you 😊
Ooooh my word how amazing is she. We walked through at Crick and thought how lovely, but now seeing all the little storage spaces and everything, Morning Star is amazing and I love her. I hadn't seen the dandelion on the bow - it's beautiful. You are so lucky to be able to call her your home. I know you will be just so happy living on her.
Thanks Liz. It wasn’t until we moved our stuff aboard that she felt like home. We love her. They have really put a lot of thought into her design. We are lucky to call her home. Have a great weekend and take care ❤
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful ❤ Your obvious delight and pride in your new home is palpable. Enjoy every well deserved second!
Thanks Jill. We absolutely love her. Can’t believe she is ours to be honest. Hope you have a great weekend ❤
What a fantastic boat, congratulations!
Thanks George 👍
Okay if you're gonna live on a boat, this is the only way to go. Simply the Best! ❤
❤️
Raising the bar of what a narrowboat can be, just incredible. Well done, and thanks for the tour!
Thanks Jack. Oakums do like to push the boundaries. We are made up with what they have done. Have a good week ❤
Probably one of the best nb in the country
Thanks Nate. We love her. Have a good weekend ❤️
The new Morning Star is beautiful 💚 I’m loving everything about her, especially all of the storage space. Have a great week xxx
Thank you Angela. The storage is fab. Love the amount of natural lights the skylights give us. Hope you have a fab week ❤
"Too hot to clean" Brilliant lol 😂😂😂
Fabulous new home I absolutely love it. Could you not have blinds on the inside of the skylights? I remember my uncle having them on his boat, it also had fly screens. Mind you his roof hatches weren't as big as yours. Love all the added features. The outside shower is great, we used to use it after a swim, also good for those that go overboard lol.
😂. Any excuse Jay. We have been looking at an internal blind solution. I am sure you can get ones in suction cups that may do the trick. I think the size of the skylights makes it difficult. The outside shower is perfect for muddy boots, the bike and of course Dexter. Have a fab week and take care ❤
Let's all be honest with ourselves... There are many different boat builders. You can get a dozen on Google... But this is not a boat! It is an 'Oakums'... They're known for their luxury interiors and attention to detail. The pride in their work is 1st Class! I wouldn't be looking elsewhere if I was in the market for a boat. You two fortunate people are lucky to own such a boat!
Thanks Molly. We do feel very lucky to own an Oakums. They have done an amazing job incorporating some of our ideas too. Hope you have a lovely week ❤
What a brilliant boat. So well thought out. Happy cruising
Thank you so much. Glad you like her. Have a lovely week ❤️
Hi guys, we absolutely loved visiting your new home at the Crick Boat Show and hope that our little video did it justice in the limited time we had. We spent ages finding the right background music to reflect the sense of calm we felt that the boat has in abundance even though at the time the boat had a continuous flow of people going through it. The amount of light in the boat is genius. Steve and I wish you all the happiness on it. Take care guys. Alan x
Thanks guys. I loved your vlog of our boat. It definitely did it justice and nice of you to say you specifically went to look at her. Hope you guys are keeping well. Have a lovely week x❤
That’s the most beautiful narrow boat I’ve ever seen. The design and finish is outstanding, I hate to think what it cost but I sure am jealous.
Thank you so much. We love her. She is so light and airy inside too. Have a lovely week ❤️
What a joy to see your beautiful new home, and to see how much you’re enjoying it. The skylight and the tinted privacy windows are genius 🇦🇺👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks Kate. Those skylights just flood the interior with light. We love them. Have a good week ❤
brilliant build just lovely home..weed california u.s.a.
Thank you very much!
Anthony and Paul your new home Morning Star ⭐️ is just stunning.. and this vlog just so beautiful we have followed you both for awhile and wish you both and Dexter a future filled with Good Health and Happiness .. as they say Life is a Journey not a destination..Enjoy it !! and Thank-you so much for sharing it along the way ❤ Wendy and Steve .. xx
Thanks guys. We are so pleased with how she has turned out. So much lighter and airy than the last boat. Thanks for following our journey. Have a lovely week ❤
Beautiful bot guys i thought the last one was stunning, this is on another level.
Thank you so much. We are made up with what they have produced. Have a good week ❤
It looks fab guys..I Love it xxx
Thank you Ernest. Glad you like. Have a good weekend ❤
Love all the clever storage! Those stairs are amazing
Thanks Katherine. They have done a great job with the storage. Have a lovely week ❤
I think most people have said what we all think. It is an amazing, futuristic boat, with everything you need going forward. I’m sure you will have many happy years enjoying all the journeys you will be taking up and down the canal network. You both work so hard and deserve this new and beautiful home, even thinking of the steps for Dexter and both sets of elderly parents. See you next time.
Thank you Glynnis. We are over the moon with her. She is very high spec and I love a gadget too. Dexter loves the extra space and the steps are so much easier for him to get down. Hoping for many more years of adventures aboard. Have a lovely week and take care ❤
I love the new boat, the color is beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Congratulations on your new boat! It looks great - I especially like the quiet propulsion!🇨🇦
Thank you. The quiet cruising has been amazing. The sound of nature is so much more evident which is what we love about boat life. Have a lively weekend ❤
Just love you two, and your Vloging is so great.
Thank you Ainslie ❤️
Thank you both so much for showing us your beautiful home, we appreciated the work you put into your vlog, brilliant 🙏✝️🙏🇨🇦
Thanks James. Really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed. Have a good weekend ❤
Amazing 😊
Cheers Nick. Have a good weekend ❤
She will take you to new places and new adventures.....All the best, Tricia and Neil.
Thanks guys. We can’t wait to explore more of the network on the new boat. Have a lovely week ❤
Refreshing overview of the boat. It remines me of 5 stars accommodation nice clean lines with a colour pallet for a relaxing stay.
It definitely feels more like an apartment than a boat. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Have a good week❤
One word...WOW!
Absolutely stunning.. what an absolute gem of a Narrowboat. Hands down the most amazing boat I have seen to date. I'm in love ❤ You are such deserving owners Paul, Anthony & of course Dexter Dog.. Im waiting for that phone call from Oakhams now.. 😘🤣
Enjoy your beautiful new home..❤️❤️❤️
Thanks lovely. Glad you like her. We are over the moon. Excited to see your new home take shape too. So pleased for you both. Hope you guys are doing well. Give Millie a belly rub from us. ❤
Absolutely amazing narrowboat. You must just love it. I would.
We do Heidi. We are over the moon. Hope you have a lovely week ❤
How beautiful is your home! Thank you for showing us around, there isn't anything I don't love about it, good luck the three of you masses of health and happiness ❤
is really lovely boat, and i did love the explanation, so sweet people.
Aww thank you Esther. Glad you liked the tour. Have a lovely week ❤
I loved Anthony talking about the "sexy batteries"😊😊Really, the boat is like an elegant yet wonderfully geeky home!(It's too bad that there is not some kind of super-efficient air conditioning for the heat you guys have to put up with in peak summer.) All of Liam's little touches (like the dog wash) are really thoughtful. Thanks for letting us into you home!
You know me James. A little geeky. 😊. Agree, aircon would have been the icing on the cake. The team put a lot of thought into the boat design and we just love her: hope you have a good weekend ❤
Incredible... Thanks for sharing 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
This landlubber is as green with envy as your outer hull! Seriously, I am gobsmacked and so thrilled for all three of you; what a beautiful home...💚
😊. Thank you. We are made up. They have done a lovely job. Hope you have a good weekend ❤
This is a proper 21st century boat, lovely!
I'll be checking out how she works in winter, because this is very much what I want, just in a somewhat different layout.
Thank you. Glad you like her. We know we will be more reliant on the generator in winter but we do get some rather sunny winter days and we tend not to cruise as much. Good luck with your plans. Have a lovely week ❤
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 It'd be hard not to like her, she's a beauty, inside and outside! I hope she serves you well for many years.
How has she been on rainy days so far?
@@YaaLFH thank you. She has been good. No issues. If we know we aren’t going to have much solar we can make sure the batteries are topped before cruising.
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 Thanks.
It'd be great if you could do a review after winter.
Your new home is beautiful! Every detail speaks of all the planning and love you have poured into it. Your builders certainly knew the two of you. It’s warm and inviting. Cozy and comfortable . Love it. I hope the new boat gives you years of happy sailing the waterways. You both are deserving of this wonderful dream. Cheers and hugs for Dexter ❤
Thank you Mary. Glad you like her. She does feel more like a floating apartment. Can’t wait for the future adventures aboard. Have a lovely weekend ❤
I think this has got to be the best boat I have ever seen. Take care guys and enjoy.
Thanks Davvid. Have a good week ❤
Congratulations on that beautiful boat, well deserved and hope you both stay healthy and enjoy her for years to come.
Thank you Malcom. We can’t wait for the adventures to come. Have a good weekend ❤
Hi Gents. It’s been quit a long time since I had the time to view a video. I’ve been so busy. I am so happy this one popped up in my TH-cam stream. She is absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about her. The color, the interior, the gadgets. Everything. You both look amazing as well. So fit and happy. I love it. My love to you both and of course to Dexter. Til next time
Hey Carolyn. Glad this popped up. So pleased you like her. They really have done an amazing job, we just love her. Hope you are keeping well and taking time out for yourself too. Take care and have a lovely week ❤

So beautiful! And it seems so peaceful and calm. It must be amazing to watch the stars through the skylights.
Hey Kat. We are loving being onboard. The nights are the best. Hope you have a good weekend ❤
Greetings from “New” England! Your new boat is just lovely and wow the color really pops in the sunshine. Just a lovely iridescent green that looks like lily pads. Good choices all around.
Greetings to you too. Thank you. Glad you like her. We love how she blends in with her natural surroundings. Hope you have a great week ❤️
Thank you for the guided tour of your home, beautiful.

Thank you Catherine. She is beautiful and are made up. Have a lovely week and take care ❤
But does it fly !?!?!??
Seriously, it's one of the best luxurious well thought of Narrowboat I've ever seen. Looks like a hotel room even. Well done! 🙂
🤣🤣 We love the look of the boat and although we had a few teething problems we feel very lucky 👍
Kenneth that would be awesome 😂. Glad you like her. We do feel like we are living in a small apartment. Hope you have a lovely week ❤
Awww love you guys! Taking Dexter into account whilst designing your new boat is everything xx
Thank you Jules. He may be getting older but he is still out baby dog and we love him with all our hearts. Hope you have had a good week ❤
I am in love with your new home! It is luxurious and really looks modern, and it pampers you doesn’t it? I’m glad Dex is able to be on board the new digs!,,,,,,, CONGRATS GUYS,, 🎉

Love the new boat it's fab. Love Anthonys haircut . Xxx
Cheers Simon 😊. Hope you have a good weekend ❤
Love it! So much more storage in this boat. I've watched from the beginning of the build and it just seems so surreal to see it all finished. I love all the features for Dexter and your parents, so much thought into things. It's just beautiful! Wonderful new memories to be had. 🥰
Thank you Alli. Definitely feels surreal for us too to think that she is our new home. The team did a fabulous job and good to have an input in the design too. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤
Beautiful.
Thank you Pamela. ❤️
I'm so pleased for the three of you, to live on such a wonderful boat must be a delight. Thank you for the tour, I'm really impressed at how neat you are unlike myself. All the best. Love Stephen ❤
Hey Stephen. Thank you so much. We love our new home and how light and airy it is. We did tidy for the vlog 😂. Hope you are keeping well. Take care ❤
I believe u both have a beautiful home ❤thank u for allowing us to be apart of your world
Thank you and thanks for watching 💕
Your new home is exquisite. Beautifully designed, light-filled, and so comfortable and cozy. I know you’re going to spend many happy years there. Congratulations again. 😘🙌🐶
Thanks Michael. We love the amount of light that floods through. She definitely feels like home. Hope you are enjoying the weekend and have settled in. Take care ❤
doesn't look cluttered like most i've seen, good job
Thank you. Plenty of storage. 😊
Gonna be roughing it then? 😉
You guys sure know how to "present"!...never watched "BETTER"! Thank you. If there is a Narrowboat category above "Rolls Royce", you have produced it!
Thank you so much, thanks for watching and have a good weekend.
I love your boat take care
It’s honestly my dream to own a Narrowboat .. 👏🏽🥰
She is beautiful by the way 😚👌🏽
We love it. Can’t imagine being in a house again. Glad you like her ❤️
Ah, Paul and Anthony. .... I watched on our big screen TV and your tour of Morning Star brought a huge smile to my face 😊. My husband kept asking what was I watching ...." All I hear from you is Aah, Beautiful," he said 😊. Wish we could bump into you one day. You're such a wonderful couple and have a wonderful floating home, not to mention wonderful Dexter dog. Wishing you many happy sailings. Take care. Keep safe and well xx
Thank you so much Catherine. Glad you enjoyed the tour. We still have to pinch ourselves sometimes. Would be lovely if we bumped into you. Hope you are enjoying your weekend ❤
We're way up in the North West Highlands so it could be a long time before we ever have an opportunity to bump into you, but, if ever you take a road trip to the Isle of Skye, let us know 😊❤
lovely job, hope you have many years of happy cruising in her.
Thank you. Can’t wait to create more adventures. Have a lovely week ❤
Faboulous guys. One of the most enjoyable and professional boat tours I have watched. So much thought in planning her layout, materials for build along with cutting edge technology for propulsion Absolutely stunning and a joy to live aboard.
Thanks so much Scott.
Glad you enjoyed. They have definitely put a lot of thought into the boat and we absolutely love her. Hope you ate having a good week ❤
Your welcome Anthony. Credit where credits due. I’m currently in Bansko in Bulgaria enjoying a chill in the mountains whilst also trying to arrange the sale of my apartment that I have had here since 2008. The proceeds I intend to put towards my first narrow boat. Looking forward to your next vlog. Have a good week 👍
@@scottbrookfield6813 good luck with your plans 😊
beautiful boat (home)!
Thank you so much ❤
wozzers 🎉u have another lovely home. Good luck on your adventures ❤
Thank you Julie. We absolutely love her. Have a lovely weekend ❤
What a lovely home! Very jealous. Love the fact it's a techie and green boat. Awesome!
Thank you. We are really pleased with the boat, a few teeth if f problems but all seems well now 👍
Such a stunning boat and I love all your eco features. I’m fascinated by the flexible solar panels that curve over each side. If I was prime minister I would pass a law that every new build house has to have solar panels. Wishing you lots of happiness on board Morning Star 2. Thank you for sharing. ⭐⭐
Thanks Marilyn. We love her. The flexible panels are brilliant. Means we can have more on the roof too. I agree re new builds. Whilst not going to replace the main power in homes here in the U.K. due to lack of very sunny days, they definitely would help make the homes more eco friendly. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤
Hi you three. Congrats on your new home. To be fair, I can see it is very (very) expensive - heading for a conventional wide-beam price. However, what you have secured is almost certainly the best narrowboat I have ever seen. From basic considerations - the structure allowing much under-gunwale storage; the propulsion method and whole-boat fuel considerations; the almost 2kw of solar provision; the massive skylights; the utility / boot room; the Pullman dinette; the wide bed, etc etc. Then there's the life-style aspects - all that light, great in Summer but even better on dull winter days. If I were moving onto the canals and funds were not a major limitation, then I can think of no better blueprint to go to your boat-builder with and ask for almost a carbon copy (I might ask for that couch-shelf to be installed as part of the build and, err, err, that's about it. (From my perspective, good to support a Derbyshire firm, too). Thanks for showing us round - best wishes to Dexter - and yourselves.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tour. We are over the moon with the boat and Oakums have done a fabulous job turning what we had in mind into reality. Hope you have a lovely week ❤
@@anthonysmith-storey9247 Cheers! All the best - and have a great time yourselves, too. Bye.
