What is a homeboat?
A homeboat is a floating home designed to provide a unique living experience on the water. It typically includes all the amenities of a traditional home, including a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living space.

Where are the Floatwing homeboats made?
All our homeboats are produced in Portugal, a country known for its skilled craftsmen and high-quality manufacturing. We are committed to ensuring that our products are produced ethically and under fair working conditions.
Are Floatwing homeboats eco-friendly?
Yes, our homeboats are an eco-friendly living option. Our homeboats are designed to minimize their environmental impact and maximize their sustainability. We use solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient appliances to reduce our carbon footprint.
Can the homeboat be used on the sea?
No, the homeboat is designed to work on calm waters such as rivers or lakes. It is not suitable for use on the open sea where the conditions can be much more challenging and potentially dangerous. The design and construction of the homeboat are optimized for stability and comfort on still waters, so it is important to use it accordingly and avoid exposing it to conditions for which it was not designed.
Where can I find a place to put my homeboat?
There is a variety of options for places to moor or dock a homeboat, depending on your location and preferences. You can look into marinas, which offer amenities like water and electricity hookups and usually have staff available to assist with docking. Alternatively, you could consider anchoring your homeboat in a sheltered cove or inlet, or finding a private dock or mooring to rent. It's important to research local regulations and obtain any necessary permits before settling in a location, to ensure that you are complying with local laws and protecting the environment.
Is a boating license required to operate a homeboat?
Yes, in most cases, a boating license is required to operate a homeboat. The specific license requirements may vary depending on your location and the size and type of homeboat you are operating. We recommend checking with your local boating authority to determine the specific requirements in your area. It is important to ensure that all operators of the homeboat are properly licensed and trained to ensure the safety of all passengers and other boaters on the water.
Do I need any boating experience to buy a homeboat?
It is recommended that buyers have some boating experience before purchasing a homeboat. The safety and proper handling of the homeboat are important for both personal enjoyment and the safety of others on the water.
Is there a maximum capacity for the homeboats?
Yes, the maximum capacity for our homeboats is usually 13 people, depending on the size of the boat. Please check the product page on our website for more information.
