Houseboats
Prefabricated or DIY construction

Would you like to realize your dream of your own houseboat? If so, you can inform on this web page about different possibilities, how you can purchase a prefab houseboat or components for a DIY houseboat. Our houseboats combine highest quality with practical flexibility – For example, you can slip our smallest houseboats of the PH10 series comfortably on a trailer and take it by car to its destination. All our houseboat platforms consist of our modular plastic pontoons and impress by their robustness. Enjoy the sunset on the water soon!

  In general you have the possibility to purchase a complete houseboat or only a pontoon platform for your houseboat self-construction. In the following can you learn more about it:

  Mobile prefab houseboats of type PH10 and PH20

  Our mobile houseboats of the PH10 and PH20 series are equipped with an outboard engine and can be driven without a boating license. (that only applies in Europe) They have been designed for seasonal use from spring to autumn and it is possible to leave them in the water in winter, subject to certain rules. It should also be noted that these houseboats may only be used with maximum wave heights of 0.30m (temporarily 0.50m) and a wind speed of 4 (Beaufort), which is usually the case on inland waters. However, it is also possible to drive on waters where theoretically stronger winds and higher waves can occur. In this case, however, the current weather conditions must always be kept in mind and the houseboat's berth must also be selected and monitored accordingly.

  The slightly smaller PH10 house boats can be transported by trailer on the road. You are welcome to order the corresponding boat trailer directly from us. The equipment level of the houseboats and the dimensions are at least partly adaptable. Just talk to us by phone or e-mail to discuss this in more detail. We will be happy to advise you.

  Stationary prefab houseboats of type PH30

  Our floating bungalows of the PH30 series are permanently anchored at the berth and are therefore not mobile. Anchoring is best done via dolphin piles in order to be able to compensate for different water levels. These foundation piles as well as the access from the land to the floating house must always be adapted to the respective berth, which is why a price determination for these components is only possible after detailed technical planning. These floating holiday homes can only be used on standing inland waterways and, like our mobile houseboats, can only be used half-yearly in the warm months.

  Homemade houseboats

  There is the possibility for you to purchase only the pure pontoon platform with us, in order to be able to build and/or complete your houseboat by do-it-yourself. Just use our configurator and configure your own floating houseboat pontoon. In addition to a suitable outboard motor, bow thruster, railing and even more, you can also order an aluminum house frame. This has the advantage that the building structure of the house would then be ready for planking of the walls, the roof and interior construction.

  Attention:
  Unfortunately, we cannot offer you a complete houseboat as a kit, as almost every customer has different ideas regarding appearance, choice of materials and interior design. Therefore you can only choose between our prefabricated houseboats of the PH10 - PH30 series or order a pure pontoon platform or rather a floating houseboat platform.

  All our houseboats offer the ideal opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet on the water. Be it for fishing, holidays or just to relax: You will enjoy your new houseboat purchase from the very first moment.

  If you have any questions or would like advice, please do not hesitate to contact us via our contact form, by telephone or in person.

  Stationary houseboats of the PH30 series

  The floating houses of the PH30 series are not suitable for driving but are permanently installed at your mooring. As a standard they can only be used seasonally (from spring to autumn) and are similar to a bungalow on the water. Our modular pontoon system "Large" is used to build the supporting floating pontoon.

  Important to know:
  The anchoring of the houseboat and the access from the land must always be adapted to the local conditions, the water situation and the requirements of the building authority. Therefore, a technical preliminary planning is always necessary before determining the price of these components. That planning should be done by an local engineering office if possible. In the course of this, the connection of the houseboat to the supply and disposal lines must also be designed. However, a power connection must be available at the houseboat's berth in any case.

  The floating houses of type PH30 are suitable for the use of up to 6 persons.

  Most important technical data and standard equipment:

  • pontoon dimensions: L/W= approx. 9,65m or 12,05m x 8,45m
  • house dimensions: L/W= approx. 6,85m x 6,35m
  • pontoon system: module system LARGE
  • deck around the house: wood planks (larch)
  • electricity in the house: 220V
  • railing
  • boarding ladder
  • sanitary (WC + washbasin + shower)
  • flooring inside the house: PVC flooring (wood look)
  • gas cooker, sink, refrigerator, water heater

  For an extra charge:

  • deck around the house: plastic planks (larch)
  • furnishing (inside)
  • ethanol furnace or electric heating
  • fresh and waste water integrated in the pontoon floats

  Criteria for use:
  Only useable at water and environmental conditions of max. wave heights of 0.30m (short term 0.50m) and a max. wind speed of 4 (Beaufort)!

For a price estimation a consultation by e-mail is required.
