A houseboat (different from boathouse, which is a shed for storing boats) is a boat that has been designed or modified to be used primarily as a home. Some houseboats are not motorized, because they are usually moored, kept stationary at a fixed point and often tethered to land to provide utilities. However, many are capable of operation under their own power. Float house is a Canadian and U.S. term for a house on a float (raft), a rough house may be called a shanty boat.
In Zimbabwe, specifically on Lake Kariba houseboats have been in use since the creation of the lake in the late 1950s/early 1960s. This is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious ways to experience the Zambezi basin and all the associated wildlife, as it is possible to view a lot of game as they come down to the water for drinking, and to cool themselves down.
There is a houseboat and fishing community on the southern side of Hong Kong Island known as Aberdeen floating village. There was also one such community in the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter.
In this video, we meet Bonnie from Wakefield, Québec, Canada who is living on a gorgeous tiny house boat that is full of character and charm. The River Den (or La Tannière) has custom-made asymmetrical windows, a classic ship's wheel, antique fireplace, and hand-built furniture — all of which give the boat a warm and cozy feel that makes you feel at home as soon as you step on board. The boat is docked on the shore of the Gatineau River and Bonnie lives in it as often as she can when she's not renting it out on Airbnb (https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/9678942?guests=1&s;=vNzQNzuG). The tiny houseboat was designed by Bonnie and her boatbuilding friend, Denis Tremblay, who is known locally as the Wakefield Pirate. Denis and a few of his friends built the boat by hand, including the aluminum ...

http://www.phenomenalplace.com Alleppey Houseboats are very popular and preferred by tourists who visit Kerala. Tourists from all over the world come here to spend a day or two relaxing at these house boats. Alleppey aka Alappuzha is perfect for backwater cruise as it is filled with lagoons, beaches, bridges and beautiful coconut & banana trees. The video shows many Kerala houseboats while sailing and in docked positions and I have also shown you the inside of the house boat. Most houseboats are comfortable, but lack the luxury of a typical star hotel. However, it is a different and exciting experience to spend a day in these houseboats. I will post a vlog on how to do an Alleppey houseboat trip soon, so you can learn from my mistakes :) Thanks to free music from http://www.music4your...

"The biggest thing you have to get used to is that the boat constantly moves," says Darryl Madden, a cybersecurity consultant and houseboat owner. Other than that, the houseboat life is the good life. Much cheaper than paying rent anywhere in the city, a group of houseboat owners save money and space at the Gangplank Marina in Washington D.C.—the largest liveaboard houseboat community on the East Coast. In this Atlantic original documentary, we delve into the houseboat lifestyle to discover the pros and cons of living on the water.

Hello beautiful people! Here is Day 1 of my houseboat trip with my family. This is a trip we take every year and it is so much fun. I can tell you that even though i love what I do for a living. I have NEVER measured my life by my possessions, belongings or career. I measure it in people and experiences. If i died tomorrow it would be with a filled heart. I always say family over everything but family isn’t just blood or marriage. Its the people who are are closest to you and sometimes those people are closer to you and you love them more than your actual family. Life to me isn’t what you do for a living, how much money you make or what type of car you drive. Its about spending time with and building with those who really matter to you. IF you love someone show it. Don’t spend the rest o...
Took a trip on a houseboat
It was fun, you and me
I know you're really in love with him
Are you up to your knees?
Oh I'm always in decline
Always changing my lines
Always changing my mind
To be a friend is fine
I won't go sinking this houseboat
It's so hard to believe
He made you smile so easy
So make a smile for me
Will I always be denied
I thought about it last night
Could we baby, honey try
To put it right this time?
Oh how I've wanted to change
Let you take me home, let you rearrange
To find opportunity you should give yourself to me
You should give yourself to me
Oh how I've wanted to change
Let you take me home, let you rearrange
To find opportunity you should give yourself to me
