Houseboats are a popular way of living; not only in the Netherlands, but also on the west coast of the United States and in Southeast Asia. Such a houseboat is of course the ultimate feeling of freedom but at least as important: they offer a solution to the ever-rising water level as well as urban growth.
US-based Arkup goes a step further than the average houseboat and recently presented a completely self-sufficient houseboat that looks more like a 'house yacht'. Over 30 kW of power via solar energy, hydraulic legs for stability and a double living layer, make this houseboat something very special. Naturally, the boat is equipped with every conceivable communication option: 4G, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, etc.
The boat is equipped with all conveniences and comforts. In addition to all possible communication facilities, the boat is equipped with a modest drive, which allows the boat to be rotated 360 degrees, so that a stunning view can always be chosen. The owner can also fill the sun deck, if desired, to create a sheltered swimming pool. The extremely generous interior can be customised: as a home, holiday home, event boat, restaurant, fitness centre, wellness centre - virtually any option is possible.
