It's Strictly Come Dancing final time this weekend and this time we have a horse in the race (or boat in the fleet as it were!), with former guest JB Gill battling it out to lift the coveted Glitterball Trophy.

As his surname suggests, JB took to the Mon & Brec like a duck to water while trying out a Beacon Park Boat as part of an edition of Holiday Homes In The Sun broadcast on Channel 5 a few years ago.

JB was kind enough to give our boat a whopping 9 out of 10 and we're hoping for a similar result for him and his professional partner Lauren Oakley on Saturday from Craig, Shirley and Motsi.

Take a look at the video below for a clip from the episode of Holiday Homes In The Sun which featured Beacon Park Boats and hear what JB plus fellow presenters Amanda Lamb and Sam Pinkham had to say about our canal boat Grouse.

Appointment of Administrators 5 June 2026

Paul Williams and Oliver Collinge were appointed Joint Administrators of Beacon Park Boats Limited (“the Company”) on 5 June 2026. The affairs, business and property of the Company are managed by the Joint Administrators. The Joint Administrators act as agents of the Companies and contract without personal liability. Paul Williams and Oliver Collinge are authorised to act as insolvency practitioners by the Insolvency Practitioners Association and are bound by the Insolvency Code of Ethics.

The administrators are continuing to trade the business with a view to a sale as a going concern. We are still accepting and fulfilling all holiday bookings as well as day boat hires. Any deposits paid to the administrators will be ring fenced.
