⚓ Totally Real and Not At All Made-Up Facts ⛵

- Boats only act up on public holidays. It’s their way of keeping things interesting.
- The universal sign for “I’m not 100% sure of what I’m doing” is a confident throttle and a nervous smile.
- Some boat problems can be solved with tools. Others require snacks and deep breaths.
- If your anchor chain clinks at 3am, it’s probably just the sea reminding you who’s boss.
- That unusual smell? Could be bilge. Could be adventure.
- Docking is just parallel parking… with more spectators and less predictability.
- “A bit of water in the bilge” is often code for “let’s keep an eye on that.”
- Dropping something overboard simply means it’s time for a new one.
- You don’t "own" your boat — you have a passionate, slightly dramatic relationship with it.

P.S. Not all of this is entirely true... But we clean boats 😎

🐣⚓ Easter Afloat? Here's Some Fun for the Whole Crew! ⚓🐣

Living on a boat this Easter weekend? Here are some egg-cellent ideas to make it magical for the whole family — rain or shine:

🌊 1. Boat Bunny Hunt: Hide chocolate eggs in clever nooks around the cabin — under hatches, in the galley, or tucked inside lifejackets. Bonus points for bunny ears on deck!

🎨 2. Nautical Egg Decorating: Use paints, stickers, or even waterproof markers to decorate eggs with anchors, fish, and boats. Display them proudly on the saloon table!

🍫 3. Chocolate Navigation Challenge: Plot a mini “treasure map” around the boat with clues to the final Easter treat. Great fun for kids (and adults pretending not to be excited).

🧁 4. Easter Baking Below Deck: Bake boat-friendly treats like hot cross bun muffins or Easter biscuits — and enjoy them with a sea view.

🌧️ 5. Cosy Movie Night: If the weather’s rough, snuggle up below with a good family movie and some marshmallow Easter snacks.

From our crew to yours — wishing you a safe, sweet, and sea-sational Easter 🐰💛

🛥️💭 What’s in a name?
Naming a boat is serious business. It’s got to have personality, maybe a pun, maybe a little bit of swagger... and it better be something you're proud to shout across the marina!

We’ve seen everything from the classics like Seas the Day and Aquaholic… to absolute gems like Ctrl+Alt+Del (for when it all goes wrong) and The Codfather 🐟

So tell us—
👉 What’s the best boat name you’ve ever seen?
👉 Or if you got a new boat tomorrow, what would you name it?

Bonus points for puns, inside jokes, and wildly specific references 😄

🌊⚓ Boats we’ve loved and boats we’ve rescued ⚓🌊
You know how every boat has a story? Some roll into the yard sun-faded and barnacle-covered… and others show up like they’ve just sailed out of a James Bond film. Either way, we love them all.

One of our favourite things is watching the quiet transformations... the way a hull comes back to life after a clean, or how a fresh wrap changes the whole mood of a vessel.

Every boat’s got its quirks, its personality. Some are stubborn. Some are surprisingly graceful. Some come with owners who swear that this time they’ll stay on top of maintenance 😅

Tell us... what’s your boat’s story? Name, type, how you found it, weird habits… we want to hear it!

🎣 The kids make the comp huge success!
