For those of you just joining us, welcome! We're Vic and Jo and we've been narrowboating around the UK for the last few years on our 54ft narrowboat Zero. Last year we decided to give up our jobs in the city and add another boat to our fleet in hope of turning it into a travelling cafe and becoming full time boating baristas.
Follow us as we learn the ins and outs of business on the water whilst cruising around the UK.

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

Congratulations, well deserved. You have done an excellent job. Good work Vic, Jo, David and of course William!

[@onefunnyoldman]

Little late in commenting this time, due to having a holiday on......a narrowboat! We had a week long cruise on the Leeds, Liverpool canal. Brilliant news on your 5 stars award, well deserved in my opinion. Lovely to see William taking so much interest and making his thoughts known. Best wishes

[@briancjohnson]

I genuinely shouted "YES!" and pumped my fist. That (5) rating is definitely something to show off when you're cruising this year! And maybe gloat about. A bit. Well-earned!

[@sca6769]

Congratulations! Your hard work has paid off.

[@assassinlexx1993]

It was great to have Thomas the train to make appearance on inspection day. We too are so excited about the big 5🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅☕🥮🫖🍥 Holly looks outstanding. The perfect cheerful coffee cafe.

[@Tass...]

You are an adorable family to watch and the videos you share with us are a joy. Thank you for your incredible hard work.

[@kathyschwendeman2563]

This is Harold on my wifes Facebook account, because I'm just "barely" computer literate and normally don't do Facebook. Jo and Vic, during COVID and because our old ages (in our 80's now) we've watched a lot of Narrowboat vlogs, and Jo & Vic (...and William) I have to say that you have become my favorite! I was just watching Narrowboat Girls latest, and she mentioned that on a side trip to the Bancroft Basin, Strtatford-On-Avon, there are several little narrowboat businesses that cater to tourists and such,...a restaurant boat, a pizza boat, and a couple ice cream boats. Made me think of you guys and Holly The Cafe Boat. Might be an area to work your way toward and see how your business goes there, huh? If nothing else, as personable a young couple are, and with William that anybody and everybody is sure to fall in love with, you'd at least be sure to make some narrowboat friends that you all could "campare notes with". Just a thought,.....anyway,....love your vlogs,.....keep up the good work and wonderful vlogs,.....Harold & Kathy

[@karlasabineweber]

That train shot at the end, a thing of beauty! Congratulations on five stars! The boat looks stunning and you so happy. Well done…

[@davewelsh911]

All the best.

[@simon-nb-Betsyray]

Well done you guys for a great job on Holly, hopefully we will see David again doing more professional work on both of your boats in the near future. Can't wait for you to start your travels again.

[@HollyTheCafeBoat]

He was really nice!! And really helpful too!We kinda understand it when people don't want to be filmed doing their job, I'm sure we would've been in that camp before we started this vlog 😂😂😂

[@gloriafurrer7400]

Congrats on the 5! Beautiful family!

[@gordonmcillroy455]

Congratulations. A real team effort. You two for making it happen. Dave and his dads fantastic carpentry and of course William for his project management without which nothing would have happened. Here's to a very successful cruising and trading season. Great result team Holy.

[@ashleyausten5471]

Well done a 5 is not easy to get, but having watched what you guys did I’m not surprised. Make sure you let people know where you are cruising, would love to buy a coffee and piece of cake. Both look delicious. Also would like to say hi to your little man.

[@AuntieMame361]

Well done! Makes me happy to see you’re ready to roll with the cafe. And William! Let’s face it, all babies are beautiful but he is magnificent. Hope you have a great summer selling your wares. 😊. I see some other narrowboaters selling crafts and things from their boats and have often thought a cafe boat mixed in with them would attract even more trade.

[@michaelcoker3197]

What a lovely family! I am proud of ya.

[@HollyTheCafeBoat]

😊 Thanks Michael

[@sandihandi7831]

Congrats on the inspection and #5 . Well done. Good luck this year on the cafe. Travel safe out there.
