Houseboat is exactly what it means - a fully functionally house, where you have your main entrance, windows, bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen.
It doesn’t even look like a boat: from the outside it looks like a big raft with a house on top of it.
Nowadays, however, any yacht that is suitable for living in for some time without denying its owner the comfort of the regular home, can be call a “Houseboat”. Running water, plumbing, and electricity - all sorts of communications run here automatically. All an owner has to do is to refill the fresh water supply, dispose of the waste and fuel up the tank.
It is very common for a houseboat not to have an engine at all. It’s not like it even needs one: such a boat is used as a home, anchored down near the shore. If an owner should need to move it, it would be hooked up to another boat or a yacht. In case the houseboat comes with an engine installed, you would have more options, but those types of houseboats usually resemble a regular yacht.
A houseboat is a decent alternative for a permanent residence on the sea shore in warm climates. You can buy a houseboat from our site. Out yacht broker will help you with the selection of your potential extraordinary “home”, focusing on your needs and requirements.
