What equipment do you use to make your vlogs? We use very basic equipment whilst making our vlogs. An iPhone, a cheap 'GoPro' style camera, a gimble and iMovie, and Keynote for editing.

Are you restricted in terms of where you can travel on a Wide Beam? Having a wide beam does mean we face some restrictions, however, there is still a large network of inland waterways that we can explore. If we wanted to do the northern network, we would have to have our boat lifted out of the water and placed back in to travel the north.

Which composting toilet do you have? We have the build-your-own 'Floozy' from Strumpet and Trollop, we painted it ourselves to match the colour scheme in Vivere, and haven't looked back since buying it, It's a game changer!

How much does it cost to own a Wide Beam Boat? There are many different costs when owning a wide-beam boat. A lot can depend on where you keep her or if you are planning on being a continuous cruiser. We recorded a detailed vlog on this very subject, 'The cost of owning a widebeam boat'. Why not head over to our channel to check it out? Or see the link at the bottom of this page!

How can I get a shout-out? We always give a shout-out to anyone who buys us a coffee or gives us a super thanks on YouTube, to show our heartfelt gratitude. If you interact with us frequently on YouTube or our social media, we will often also give you a shout-out. You can go ahead and ask us and we can see what we can do!

How can I support Widebeam and Wellingtons? Firstly thank you for thinking about supporting us! Firstly just clicking the subscribe and like buttons on our videos shows YouTube you enjoy our videos and encourages the platform to help us reach more people. If you would like to support us further, at the moment you can support us through either 'Buy us a coffee' or by clicking the 'Super Thanks' button on YouTube, we are always hugely grateful to all of our supporters.

Who built your wide beam? Our boat was designed by West London Boat Brokerage and built by Collingwood. We love Vivere and are very happy with her. There are many different boat builders out there and we would always encourage you to do lots of research and go and view lots of boats before making any decision and parting with your well-earned cash!
