Favourite Boats in Show - sponsored by
The Favourite Boat in Show award is a tradition of Crick Boat Show. The competition is sponsored by insurance company Haven Knox-Johnston. Two trophies are awarded - one for the most admired narrowboat and one for the most admired wide-beam.
The winners are determined by a public vote, which takes place during the show at the Haven Knox-Johnston marquee on the Quayside and an expert judging panel.
Voting takes place during the Show at the Haven Knox-Johnston marquee on the Quayside. All voters are entered into a draw to win £100 M&S vouchers and voters can choose to also enter a draw to win a year's free boat insurance from Haven Knox-Johnston (T&C apply)
The winning boat is announced at Crick Boat Show in the afternoon of Monday 26 May and the prize draw takes place on 4 June 2025.
