Le Koroc Houseboat

Built by Quebec’s Daigno, Le Koroc is the ultimate houseboat for adventurous fishermen. The floating tiny house measures only 26 x 8.6 ft but it’s full-packed with clever features, providing everything you need (sans the fish) for a happy life on the water.

Mostly constructed from sustainably-sourced cedar and plywood, the 5,640 lb houseboat floats atop three aluminum pontoons. It’s powered by a 90-hp Honda BF90 VTEC outboard, while roof-mounted solar panels connected to batteries provide electricity.

The deck area features three swivel seats, sonar system, dashboard with instrument panel, and even a fish tank that lets you store the day’s catch before you throw it on the barbeque.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find a dining with a seating area that transforms into a double bed, as well as a kitchenette with a two-burner propane stove, sink, fridge, and plenty of storage space. There’s also a gray water recycling system and a tiny bathroom with shower, sink, and your choice of either composting or chemical toilet. Optional features for Le Koroc include an electric anchor & motor, fishing gear, a propane heating system, and more.

Nautic Living Electric HouseBoats

Nautic Living is a German manufacturer specializing in floating houses that use electric engines and solar energy. Using hulls that create very little drag, which means less energy required to power the boats, they have made it their strong point to build houseboats that are both economical and efficient. Even better, the durable hulls are constructed to withstand ice formation, allowing you to leave your boat in the water even in winter.

The boats come with a variety of installations that you’d normally find in a modern home, such as a bathroom with shower, large bedroom and living space, fully equipped kitchen, nautical equipment, electric heating, and a roof terrace with solar panels. Prices start from 98,000 EUR for boats from the RELAX series, which measure 10m x 4,20m and go up to 15m long. For those looking for a larger floating home, the 20m Harmony or Deluxe would be more suitable.

Luxury features such as saunas, jacuzzis, and rooftop fireplaces can be installed as per client request and make these houseboats a true experience for anyone who sets foot on them.

Modul GO Houseboat Concept

It’s just a concept for now but if it comes to market, the Modul GO Houseboat could be a game-changing and inexpensive (kinda) solution for life on the water.

Envisioned by designer Max Zhivov, the houseboat could easily be modified according to customer needs. 10 types of sections would be available, each measuring either 2,4 m or 3,5 m tall x 2,3 m wide, with different types of windows or walls without any openings, plus other options. The sections would be placed on a floating platform with dimensions of 9 x 4.5 m or 13 x 6.5 m, while roof-mounted solar panels would provide the energy needed to run the boat’s electric motors.

The Modul GO could be configured to satisfy specific requirements, serving as a home, cafe, equipment rental point, base for hydroplanes, boat refueling module, cargo variant for transporting of goods and small cars, or even a houseboat vacation village.
