Nope .... Pix on MBM Facebook page and no doubt MBY soon.

Some nice Sealine owner gave them a fresh bottle of plonk when theirs ran out.

I saw the "Hot Tug" moored outside the hotel when I passed last weekend although, regrettably, it contained no eye candy of the MBM variety or otherwise. A "cute" little venture and will be interesting to see how it works out and survives.
Certainly the idea of filling a boat with warm water is thinking "outside the box" !

Ditto. Can't say it would be a safe investment but clearly it has impressed the easily impressed.

Yup, saw it delivered and maiden voyage. Though without maidens. £125 per hour I believe. A Regal on the plane is cheaper , but I do like the idea

Once the novelty reaction wears off I find myself wanting to know a little bit more.

What are the safety issues? Clearly no-one wearing lifejackets. Freeboard is just a few inches so what is risk of swamping? Will you get wet if it rains? Does it have positive buoyancy? Does it have a licence? Boat Safety Certificate? Speed capability only 5km/h = approx 2.7 knots - how much wash does it make?

How often do they change the water? Takes 2 hours to heat from ambient in summer so turn round times could be a problem.

Sure you can think of a few more …..

If you pay enough do they supply the totty too?

A short circuit could prove an interesting spectacle
