If you are interested in this boat, please read on. Later I will make a more detailed elaboration from various aspects such as No1 Living 40′ living experience, specification details, FAQ and answers, etc. I hope it can help you understand this boat more comprehensively.

Living Experience

My boss recently arranged for me to travel to Florida to discuss the next year’s cooperation plan with an important partner of the company. We have been working with that company for many years, and it has always been a pleasure to work together to make progress over the years. I would do my best to make the cooperation happen.

As soon as I got off the plane and arrived in Florida, the company was kind enough to send someone to pick me up. Vince, my assistant, drove me to a cottage on the bay and told me to get a good night’s rest before a representative from the company came to talk to me tomorrow. I was very satisfied with the reasonable arrangement.

Perfect Layout

After Vince left, I took a tour of the No1 Living 40′ alone. Even though the boat has only one bedroom, the 30 square meters of living space was more than enough for me alone, not to mention the large relaxation area on the deck.

The boat was quietly docked when I saw it, and there was no need to move it as a long-term home on the water, so the boat was not fitted with an engine. If there is a need to drive the boat afterwards, of course, the motor can be installed again to provide power for the boat, and the cockpit and console reserved in the bow take full account of this problem.

I was tired because I had just gotten off the plane and was in a hurry. As soon as I entered the cabin, I put my suitcase at the door and sat down on the sofa in the living room, where the gray carpet and the uniform color of the sofa were visually very qualitative. Through the translucent glass all around, I could see the water shimmering in the sunlight and got the ultimate relaxation inside.

Comfortable Living Functions

After resting enough, I found some pasta in the kitchen fridge that only needed simple cooking to serve and was able to immediately satisfy my desperate desire to fill my stomach. The drinks stored in the mini-fridge were also a very good choice in this somewhat hot weather. As night fell I turned on the LED lighting in the cabin and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom to rinse off the fatigue from the long journey.

The spacious bathroom was separated from the wet and dry, and the interior layout was very reasonable with a clean and stylish design. Even though it took me a long time to shower, there was plenty of hot water supply to meet my needs, which was not much different from modern housing. The four large closets in the bedroom provided plenty of storage space, and I fell asleep quickly on the soft, comfortable double bed.

I woke up early the next morning urged by my good biological clock, and after a brief breakfast I leaned over the railing on the foredeck. The morning temperature was still relatively cool, and the wind from the bay brought fresh air.

Reliable Privacy

As I sipped the coffee in my hand, I saw Thomas, the representative negotiating the partnerboat, and his assistant, Vince, driving up, all of whom I had known for quite some time, and waved hello from afar. “How was your night?” The pleasantries upon meeting were, of course, essential. “It was great, a simply delightful experience.”

I replied as I led them to the upper terrace, a spacious 50 square meters of space that was a perfect place to talk and still ensure some privacy. With a series of key points finalized, our cooperation agreement had taken shape, and some other details could be communicated. The negotiation ended happily, and I completed the work my boss had given me.

Specification

No1 Living 40′ is a very livable boat, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. The reasonable space layout provides the basis for complete basic functionality.

Sturdy Hulls

No1 Living 40′ can be permanently docked in the harbor or navigate to other locations depending on your needs. The upper and lower floors have been designed with all activities in mind. The lower level is primarily the living area, and the safe and comfortable walkways around the entire boat are a feature of No1 Living 40′, with high railings and handrails around the perimeter to ensure the safety of passengers.

The steel structure of the hull is corrosion resistant, and the high strength and durability of this material makes it easier to maintain the boat afterwards. The lightweight insulation used in the walls, ceiling and floor further enhances the long-term durability of the vessel.

Complete Life Functions

Entering from the No1 Living 40’s bow, the spacious living room is the first thing that comes to mind. The basic framework of the living room with sliding doors not only facilitates access, but also opens up the view. This design facilitates the view of the waters outside and gives a feeling of living in harmony with nature.

The open kitchen next to the living room is equipped with a 230V induction cooktop, a refrigerator with freezer compartment and plenty of storage space for basic cooking needs. The separate partitioned bathroom is designed to provide all-round comfort for passengers, and the clean and stylish bathroom is very well designed for space.

The separate sink and mirror on the hanging cabinet, 230V outlet and LED lights are details designed to bring convenience to passengers. The flooring in the bathroom has the advantage of being highly durable and washable. The main bedroom is designed with a white built-in closet providing plenty of storage space and additional storage space under the comfortable double bed. The bedroom is separated from the living room by sliding doors and has a separate entrance to the rear deck.

Of course, just like in a residential house, the living area of No1 Living 40′ is not without its technical room and storage room, which house the electrical distribution facilities related to the safe operation of the boat and the living-related drinking water pump and hot water boiler, respectively.

Comfortable Resting Place

The upper terrace is reached via a staircase at the stern of the boat, and at 50 square meters provides a more spacious space for relaxation, which of course is also very good as a workplace. This independently existing space also serves as an enhancement for privacy protection.

Considering the long-term durability of the boat, the waterproof coating of the upper deck and the four built-in drains guarantee the boat’s ability to withstand rainfall, avoiding as much damage as possible to the hull caused by water accumulation in the cabin.

What we like about it

• Reasonable layout and basic functions give passengers a comfortable ride.
• The large upper deck provides a spacious place for passengers to relax while still providing a degree of privacy.
• Comfortable and safe walkways around the entire boat are a feature of this boat, with higher railings and handrails improving overall safety.
• The hull is composed of a steel structure with corrosion protection and is characterized by high strength, resistance and durability.
• The polyethylene segmented floats that support the hull ensure great buoyancy and are also resistant to UV radiation and frost.
• The boat is also well suited as an office space, with separate space arrangements, internet conditions and other equipment needed for work.

What we don’t like about it

• The boat’s interior space set only one bedroom, with a double bed set up to accommodate up to two people to stay overnight, not very suitable for multiple gatherings.
• No1 Living 40′ can meet the basic needs of life, but there is still room for upgrades, such as the installation of a washer, dryer and dishwasher. This will further improve the comfort and experience of living.

FAQ

1. Are houseboats seaworthy?

Generally speaking, houseboat is not very suitable for use in the sea. This type of boat has a flat bottom and is less capable of sailing smoothly in rough water. For safety reasons, houseboat is still more suitable for calm waters.

2. Do houseboats have electricity?

With the popularity of electricity, the use of various devices is becoming more and more inseparable from the power drive. For houseboat, the power supply of the vessel is also very important.

Generally boats are set up with special generators, and boats that are moored in fixed locations for a long time will have cables pulled to build. In addition, partial power supply can also be achieved through solar panels.

3. Do houseboats have WiFi?

With the development of information technology, people are becoming more and more dependent on the internet, and the importance of WiFi in people’s daily lives cannot be overstated.

However, unfortunately not all houseboats have achieved network coverage, but you don’t need to feel worried about this at all, just use the hotspot of your personal mobile device to share WiFi.
