Firstly, people or businesses are always on the lookout for a commercial boat to add to or diversify their current business. Be it a tug, a trawler, a coaster, or any other commercial boat, there are always people looking to put these back into service if the price is right.

   Secondly, people looking to completely change their work and home lifestyle will look to a commercial boat to achieve this. This could be fishing, pleasure trips, restaurants, club houses, diving or many other money earning opportunities that can be achieved by purchasing a commercial boat, with the added benefit of being able to live where you work should you choose to do so.

   Thirdly, people will buy a commercial boat and convert it to a houseboat, where they can benefit from a huge amount of living space for their money, so a commercial boat can potentially become a massive affordable luxury home, whilst retaining the character and shape of a commercial boat.

   For example, an ex commercial boat of say 120 foot  in length will provide massive living space in the hold, more in the crew quarters, further space in the wheelhouse, and the opportunity and potential to build above deck should all that not be sufficient.

   Rarely can you get so much living space at such an affordable price in comparison to a house, without a huge mortgage, making a commercial boat a very affordable and tangible alternative in the search for affordable, large, luxury accommodation!

   Commercial boats tend to be built robustly, and due to stringent insurance, trade and health and safety conditions, are usually very well maintained. Therefore a commercial boat can provide the solid foundation for the houseboat of your dreams.
