Is a Luxury Houseboat Worth Investing £1 Million?

Our idea of a houseboat is often associated with a vacation and adventure. The sailing provides restless feet with the chance to comfortably travel with all the basic amenities of home like a crude kitchen and basic toilet. A houseboat is ideal for short-term stay because despite the comforts, it still could not offer you all the creature comforts of a real home. There is not much space to move around in a houseboat for one thing. However, some folks actually prefer to live in houseboats for various reasons. Some do it for lack of adequate funds to get a proper house while others love the unique accommodation it offers. They easily adapt to the crammed space and the constant stooping to get below deck.

Houseboats, nowadays, are becoming popular. They provide a much needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Many houseboats are becoming so luxurious, with additional features like jacuzzis and spas. Perhaps the most famous and the most expensive is the luxury houseboat called Ocean.  It is being sold at a whopping £1 Million.

The Ocean is like your dream house in the form of a boat. If you like travelling in style, what better way to do it but to bring your entire home with you. This luxury houseboat has three bedrooms that look like first-class suites in a hotel.  It also has a swimming pool. Moreover, it is situated near a first-class community where a traditional home will cost you more than six times the amount you will pay for the Ocean. You will also have a spectacular view of the sea compared to a riverside property, where you will just have a bunch of houseboats for a view.

However, there’s clearly a disadvantage in paying such a big amount because the fact remains, that you will be spending for a boat. A boat can lose its value through the years for it is much more prone to wear and tear. You could not also resell it at a good price.
