DESIGN PROCESS

The design process starts with a conversation that always begins with what are your expectations? What do you want a boat for? Are you planning to liveaboard? Weekend Cottage? Do you want a floating guest house, short term vacation rental property? How about a floating man-cave? a floating lounge for your on-the-water business. There are virtually no limits to what we can design and build

The design process moves from length and width to floor plans and elevations. East Coast Houseboats employs an in-house design staff that works with each client on their boat. They have developed a number of floor plans to use as examples to start the process. Whether you want a one bedroom, two-bedroom, large gourmet kitchen with solid surface countertops, a home office, walk in tiled shower, or virtually any other option or detail let us work to make your dreams become reality.

CONSTRUCTION

No matter the floor plan or elevation all our boats are designed and built to provide a comfortable environment in any climate at any time of year. Whether Boston in January or Key Largo in July, rest assured your comfort is our number one goal. They provide those guarantees by first insulating their boats with closed cell foam. Not by just providing r-5 or r-7 values but by providing a minimum of R-28 in the floors and ceilings and R-21 in the walls. Closed cell insulation is not only important for its R-value, but closed cells allow for no moisture absorption. In addition, closed cell spray foam adds tremendous structural integrity to the build as well as adding noise canceling quality to the interior.

What good would a high R-valued wall system be without a high-quality window and door. They use residential windows and doors available in more than 40 colors and hundreds of possible size and style combinations.

The siding options also run the gamut, all picked for the low maintenance and long lifespan, high quality powder coated aluminum rail systems, all tried and tested to perform well in the marine environment.

The design options do not stop once you walk inside. You will be walking on your choice of dozens of choices of 100% waterproof vinyl floor. The interiors are available in almost any color imaginable. Optional wall coverings can be added to provide accent walls. All kitchen cabinets are built in the US, with a virtually endless choice of door styles and colors. Solid surface countertops are available as an option. Interior trim and door styles are designed and installed to your liking.

While we design and build our boats to work within virtually any marina environment, we can also provide you with an off-the-grid option, with solar panels, or a wind generator, a MSD (marine sanitation device) to process waste or an incinerating toilet.
