The purpose of houseboat - new world accommodation trends
These crafts provide a lot of benefits. You can take them with you on holiday, have your friends over for dinner, or just enjoy the views from your backyard. But there are some things you might want to consider before buying a houseboat. The main questions are:
- Do you need a mobile or stationary house?
For those who need a stationary home and have:
a) an adequate budget it is worth to consider home on the water;
b) lower budget: floating house boat (mobile version also possible). - What is the purpose of your water bungalow: rental, private use or maybe commercial use as a floating restaurant or office on the water?
If commercial for:
a) big restaurant then maybe Barge House?
b) urban office or luxury hotel then of course Modern 15. - Do you need a year-round home or just for the summer?
The best year-round is well insulated Floating, Barge, Liveaboard (big modern houseboats). - How is your mooring place equipped? Are there: shore water / shore power? What about waste?
No matter what your goal is - just ask us about a new houseboat price and we will advise you on which model to choose. You can be invited to our boatyard, where we will discuss your needs and propose the best solutions at a reasonable price (all costs will be provided).

No high costs are expected as floats don't require cleaning or painting, so houseboat doesn't need to be lifted every year. Regular house maintenance is enough. Nevertheless the future boat owner should be prepared for:
- Annual Port Fee: This is a fixed cost for docking your homeboat at the marina or port. It varies based on location and facility.
- Utilities:
- Power Bills: Typically covers electricity used for appliances, lights, and any other electrical needs.
- Water Bills: Expenses for fresh water use; this can vary based on your consumption.
- Heating Costs: Depending on the type of heating system used (e.g., electric heaters, propane), costs can vary. Consider the efficiency and prices of fuel or electricity in your area.
- Maintenance: Regular checks on plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances, along with seasonal maintenance (e.g., inspecting water lines for freezing in winter).
- Cleaning Supplies: Even with minimal cleaning required, basic supplies (e.g., for a bathroom and kitchen) might be needed.
- Waste Disposal: Fees for pump-out services for sewage disposal if the boat has a holding tank.
- Repairs & Replacement: Setting aside a small budget for occasional repairs or replacements of fixtures and systems (e.g., water heaters, pumps).
By budgeting for these expenses, you can better manage the overall cost of maintaining your houseboat while enjoying your time on the water.
The newest projects of boat houses for sale are made in Poland and other countries in Europe like the Netherlands, Germany (Hausboot Masuren) and the UK. The biggest houseboat builders are Polish, so we will now focus on their designs.

For customizable modern houseboat design, we provide flexibility in the interior layout, allowing you to choose from a variety of wall types, including wood, laminate, and vinyl, to create the aesthetic you desire. Additionally, you can select window styles, with options for both vertical and horizontal designs, accommodating different lighting and ventilation preferences. We also offer a range of window sizes, enabling you to maximize views or fit specific design requirements. This approach allows for a personalized living space of standard houseboat price that reflects your individual style and meets your functional needs.
Boathouse living is a lifestyle that provides the perfect escape from the world. Designed to be mobile, cabins are able to leave the dock under power and can always find a new location to anchor. They are even able to stay on a pond or mooring for extended periods of time. You can take your family on vacation for weeks without worrying about airport security lines, baggage limits, or cargo limits. A yacht is not an option if you want space and simplicity; it’s necessary if you want modern, luxury life and extravagance. Cottages on the water provide the perfect balance of both worlds: easy living and luxury at your fingertips.
Living on the water has been around for centuries and has always been seen as an efficient way of living with minimalist tendencies, but now these types of cabins are equipped with all the amenities of today's modern life. One of the first things that catch your attention is the combination of an attractive style with obvious comfort. This kind of boat is not quick – it should be equipped with strong sustainable primary engines (high thrust outboard engines are an additional cost of houseboats) and additional motors: bow and stern thrusters.
There are two types of boat houses with different prices:
- Pontoon boats, which are built on special pontoons and
- Self-built boats, which are built on a steel frame and come with plans for everyone to follow.
Pontoon boats are more popular because they’re cheaper than self-built boats.
