🚤 BIG NEWS from Cunliffe Bespoke Boats! 🚤

We're absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new range of fully glass-bottom narrowboats for 2026!
That's right — after years of development, we've created the ultimate way to enjoy the British canals: Cunliffe CrystalClear®️ Narrowboats.

Imagine cruising along the Grand Union or the Leeds & Liverpool while relaxing in the saloon... with an uninterrupted panoramic view of the canal bed right beneath your feet! Spot every pike, perch, and yes... the occasional shopping trolley in stunning high definition. No more guessing what's down there — now you can see it all in crystal clarity!

Features include:
Toughened, marine-grade laminated glass floor (strong enough for a herd of narrowboat enthusiasts... or at least a few heavy cruisers)

Built-in underwater LED lighting for those magical evening cruises

Optional "fish cam" integration so you can livestream the underwater action to your friends.

Perfect for wildlife lovers, photographers, or anyone who's ever wondered exactly how many bikes are at the bottom of Lock 42

Early orders are already flooding in (we've had to install extra phone lines!). Deliveries start this summer.

Who’s ready to trade their solid hull for total transparency?

Comment below with “I’m in!” if you want to be one of the first to experience canal life from a whole new perspective... literally.



(Just kidding... or are we? 😉 Happy April 1st from the team at Cunliffe!)

🚨 Big News from the Boat Shed! 🚨

We’ve just taken delivery of something very special here at Cunliffe Bespoke Boats… The first ever Beta Marine Hybrid engine has arrived! ⚡🚤

This cutting-edge piece of engineering is destined for one of our current bespoke builds, marking a bold step into the future of sustainable cruising. Quiet, efficient, and eco-conscious, the Beta Marine Hybrid system blends traditional diesel reliability with electric propulsion—perfect for those who want to glide through the waterways with minimal impact and maximum serenity.

It’s a proud moment for our team, and a milestone in our mission to craft narrowboats that are as forward-thinking as they are beautifully built.

Stay tuned as we bring this hybrid dream to life—updates (and sneak peeks 👀) coming soon!
