Own a floating vacation home!
Whether you use your vacation home down south in the winter or up north in the summer, East Coast Houseboats is the only builder providing boats that can be utilized any time of the year in any climate.
While our boats are very reminiscent of a floating home, each boat that East Coast Houseboats designs and builds is built to be registered, insured, and financed as a boat.
What makes our boats unique? It’s simple really. While being lifelong boaters, we’ve also been lifelong builders. We know that the average boat is only used 12 times a year. There are marinas where the boats never leave the slips. 
Maybe the marina is the destination, maybe the amenities that the marina includes is the reason boaters go there?
Maybe it’s all of the above, but having a boat that can maximize the owners experience is what we’re all about
With the price and limited availability of waterfront property in popular areas continuing to impact the possibilities, marinas as destinations are growing.
Maybe your idea of a great vacation spot is a lake in the mountains. 0ur boats can be located on any waterfront. Minimal infrastructure is required.
Maybe you have a large piece of property with a pond, again remember these are boats, and typically aren’t taxed as real property.
What about property that can’t sustain a conventional home, such as property located in a flood zone or wetlands. These are boats!
