Acionna Narrowboat

Our Home for 12 Years

2013 - 2025

Acionna was a Liverpool boats 58-foot Kingfisher cruiser stern narrowboat built in 2003.
Acionna was a Celtic Gallic water goddess who had the power to control the movement of the water and was the goddess of springs. 
Hannah and I have lived aboard for twelve very happy years. 

We had many adventures together, but it was time to move on. 

The boat has now been sold. Thank you for your interest.
