![]() This channel is good for a totally different reason. They are still new on YouTube, and I am sure they will see big success in the long run. As well as discussing the usual narrow boat issues, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the canal race trials (with Tim’s brother) and the stove cook off episodes (Tim’s food was definitely best!).Ĭhugging along are also very open and honest with how they earn money whilst continuously cruising on their narrow boat, so this is very helpful if you are wondering how you might support yourself in boat life too!Īs you can see from their chart, Chugging Along had a massive growth spurt in views followed by a bit of a decline. Tim and Sam are an entertaining duo who have provided me with hours of viewing fun. This is useful, as the hundreds of other people contemplating this lifestyle change can see what it entails! This has been a great channel to follow the journey of a couple new to the world of narrow boating. At first, they were thinking of buying a small house or flat until the narrow boat bug bit. This is a channel run by Tim and Sam, a couple that have travelled the world as teachers but now want to resettle in the UK. Yet another narrow boat vlog that has burst onto the scene is Chugging Along. His channel growth hasn’t been as explosive as Boating Beyond’s, but that’s because he has been around way longer and is already sitting on around 24000 subscribers at the time of writing. Robbie seems to have taken some of that BBC level production value and rubbed it into his YouTube offering, as his videos are usually well put together and presented. Some recent highlights from Robbie were when he had an epic search to get coal and cooked up some of the weirdest looking chicken ever in the history of man □ I always find myself engrossed in all of his videos and never find myself counting down the minutes until the end! ![]() I can see why Robbie was selected for such a series, as he really does come across as a likeable and fun kinda guy! Somehow he makes the most mundane tasks on a boat seem fun and interesting. So far it has run for two series on BBC4, impressive stuff for anything narrow boat related. Robbie Cumming has been a major member of the ‘famous’ narrow boat celebrity scene for quite a while, thanks to him being behind the Canal boat Diaries series on the BBC. I just hope all this early success doesn’t go to their head and they keep doing what they are doing! Because this really is turning into a great narrowboat vlog! This is good going for such a new Youtube channel on narrowboating. Even after the channel was only four months old they were already up to over 7000 subscribers and getting 15000 views or more per video. And Ben is a Jeremy Irons lookalike, which doesn’t exactly hurt □Īnd it seems that I am not the only one liking their narrowboat vlogs. Ben and Emily engage in some very natural and unforced banter that just adds to the whole experience. Couple this with some brilliant editing and these Ben and Emily boating vlogs have become some of my favourite. With so many well-known narrowboat vloggers either hanging up their Youtube boots or going onto other subject matters, this new channel Ben and Emily have come along to save the day!īen is a musician, so their vlogs feature a lot of his music. ![]() If you are more interested in my favourite narrow boat blogs, I have another article on that too!!Īnyway, lets cut the chit-shat! Here are my favourite… 1. Most simply put a Patreon or Buy me a Coffee link in the video description and occasionally mention supporting the channel. A day doesn’t go past without me discovering a new and interesting narrow boat based Youtube channel.Īnd what I love about the Narrowboat Vloggers in this list is that they haven’t turned into aggressive E-Beggers, something that was a bit of an issue with some van lifers in America. The crazy rise in YouTube narrow boat Vloggers has shown me how big this current trend is for the narrow boat life! As I keep saying, it reminds me of the explosion in van life vloggers in America a few years back. ![]()
