Houseboat Transport & Houseboat News

The lower USA States are best for Houseboat Living.

Thinking of doing the year round houseboat living thing, and wondering where are the best places to go in the USA states?

We are one to two years away from retirement. I can find a lot of houseboats for sale on the internet, but I am having trouble finding out about places to live on a houseboat?

I don't care much for cold weather and I would rather live some where the house boat would not have to be stationary. We would like to being able to enjoy the lake or river year-round.

Could you point me in some direction to look for places where people can live on houseboats?

Thanks for any help, Lisa.

Well Lisa, welcome to the houseboat forums, and congratulations on your decision to look into year round houseboat living.

I don't have any specific marina names for you, yet you could look at our houseboat marina directory to help you get the names and contact info of marinas to call in those warmer areas of interest.

Now Lisa, don't be discouraged since you're not alone, and I am sure other houseboaters in those suitable areas will share some valuable info and marinas with you.

Thanks again for sharing, IAN - from www.all-about-houseboats.com

Best Place to Live Aboard a Houseboat
by: Summerdai

There is no place like the great state of TEXAS! You won't have to deal with ice - we have 5-8 days of mid 40's in Dec/Jan and you would think the world was coming to an end. People actually wear parkas.

On the Gulf coast there are many many live aboard marinas and water front condo owners often rent the slip that is part of their condo. Live aboard slips come in every size, shape and level of eloquence you can imagine.

We live at The Warf marina, half way between Houston and Galveston. This location gives us access to Clear Lake, the Gulf of Mexico (great fishing), the Inland Waterway (north and south).

We are just 10 miles from the Johnson Space Center and all of its supporting contractors and services if you are looking for a job.

Come on down. Square dance classes start every month somewhere.

Marina for year round houseboat living.
by: Livaboard

Easy Question, Easy Answer, it would be the Joe Wheeler Marina, on the Tennessee River, Rogersville, Alabama between Florence and Huntsville. We were there 13 years and lived aboard for 7 years.

The Tennessee River is Gods Country for Houseboating Liveaboards. You have access to the Great Loop, Good jobs, the Arts, Entertainment, and weather mild enough for year around living.

GO FOR IT!!! Old Houseboater
