Mark has created a truly stunning floating home on London’s canals. Drawing on his background in construction, he designed and built this beautiful wide-beam boat himself, shaping it into a modern minimalist home that’s made for full-time living on the water.
Inside, the space feels bright and calm with clean lines, clever storage and a timeless sense of style. The full-sized kitchen and washing machine make daily life easy and practical, while the large windows sit close to the water, filling the home with light and ever-changing views of the Thames.
Mark’s home reflects his love of good design and simple living. Every element has been carefully thought through to create a space that feels both peaceful and refined. Close to the city but surrounded by nature, life on the water has brought him a sense of calm and connection that’s hard to find in London.
Personally, I’ve long idealised life on the water, and living on a narrow boat exploring the English canals is a long standing dream of mine. After experiencing a small slice of Marks life on his canal boat, all I can say is that I’m even further enamoured with the idea!
Step aboard this incredible self-built floating home and see how Mark has combined craftsmanship, creativity and modern design to create a beautiful life on the water.
We hope you enjoy the tour!

Mark’s canal boat is just awesome. As I’m sure you can tell, we had an absolute blast filming this episode. Getting to experience a ride on the boat down the thames was such a treat. Needless to say, if one day we stop making tiny house YouTube videos and instead just move onto a narrow boat exploring the English canals, you can blame Mark. 😆 We hope you enjoy the tour! With love, Bryce & Rasa
Superb. Thanks for sharing, Mark. Thanks for your professionalism, B&R ❤
I just want one episode where you ask to come in and they refuse
Lovely clean layout, especially the slide along breakfast bar.
Very cold in winter. Scorching hot in summer. You’ll be dreaming of bricks.
Good one, thanks for sharing 🙂 While he was explaining how he went with design and build I was really curious how he can live without doing something else – and at the end he said he would sell this and build another 🙂 Lovely
If you hadn’t said “idear” I’d of watched your video. Nice boat.
Very clean and tidy boat ❤❤ Mark nice man with good skills.
I need his phone number to do some jobs on my boat as well 😂😂
Amazing man & an amazing design. I hope he gets to live his dream to the fullest.
They go inside at 07:30 – you’re welcome
What a couple of legends these two blokes did a right great video they did. How do y’all like my English accent? I am actually from Texas USA.
