There’s a small amount of deck space, so you could carefully walk around the boat if you wanted, though many would prefer to go through the house to get to and from the front or rear decks.

There’s a giant cooler to keep your groceries cold and two motors to move the boat around.

Who designed and built this magnificent space ?
You’d have to contact the owner for that information. However, it appears to be an old Cottage Houseboat they restored and turned into an AirBNB, which could mean the builder may no longer be in business, but there’s multiple companies that produce this type of houseboat. So just do a search on Cottage style Catamaran Houseboats if interested in getting one… New and old units are regularly sold on the market…
