Whale-Inspired Boat Homes

The Orca Narrowboat is Both Roomy and Luxurious

The Orca Narrowboat from Daniel Blackband has an innovative narrowboat design targeted at today's youth. As a member of this generation group, I can safely say that Daniel Blackband has absolutely hit his target.

The Orca Narrowboat looks a lot sexier than the existing narrowboats that dot the British canals. Designed for young men and women who want to cruise the canals in style and luxury, the Orca is something I'm sure many wouldn't mind taking for a spin.
