Living on a boat Vs Living in a house – Infographic

There are many differences between living on a boat compared to living in a house and there’s no doubt both options have their pros and cons. Living on a boat is definitely an alternative way of living and is not suited for everyone! You do need to love being outside and on a boat to be able to enjoy living on a boat full time.

If you are thinking of moving on board, then it’s highly recommended you experience boating life for a couple of weeks so can get an idea of what it’d be like.

We’ve put together an infographic that highlights some of the key benefits of living on a boat and in a house.
