Author Gary Cookson interviewed the owners of a variety of floating homes to find out why they chose to live afloat, what decisions they made to achieve their dream and discussed the pros and cons of the liveaboard lifestyle.
This book lets you take a peek through the portholes of some great floating homes. From permanently moored houseboats, to liveaboards that are permanently travelling and everything in between. And just like their skippers and crew they come in all shapes and sizes with budgets large and small. Inside you will find people living on historic ex-commercial Dutch barges (both sailing and motor, tjalk and luxemotor), narrowboats, tugs, sailing yachts, motor yachts, purpose built houseboats, a floating log cabin and a look at concept dwellings of the future.
With over 300 colour photographs of homes in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, the USA and Australia there is inspiration for anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to live on a boat.
