Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every home is built on a custom marine-grade steel hull to coastal standards, engineered for stability in protected waters and inspected before delivery.

A turnkey build takes 3–4 months from first consultation to launch day. Because every houseboat is built on our proven layouts with your choice of finishes and colors, the timeline stays predictable — and we share a clear schedule before any work begins.

Every home is personalized through finishes and colors — flooring, cabinetry, countertops, paint, hardware, and textiles — curated on our proven layouts. Keeping the engineered structure standard protects quality, timeline, and safety on the water.

Homes connect to shore power and fresh water at the dock, with tankless water heaters and modern waste systems. Living aboard feels exactly like home — just with a better view.

Don't just live near the water. Live on it.
