Wow! This Tiny Off-Grid Floating Home is an Absolute Dream! FULL TOUR
Full tour of a stunning floating tiny house that’s set up on the shore of a small lake. It’s fully off-grid and it’s designed to be used in all four seasons, even in the winter! The interior is surprisingly spacious with comfortable areas to eat, sleep, and relax, and one of the coolest features is the full-size garage door that opens up so it feels like you’re on a boat or on a dock while you’re in the living room.

25 Years Living Off-Grid on a Self-Built Floating Home
Charlie built this beautiful off-grid float home in a remote channel on the west coast and has been living on it full-time for the past 25 years. His wife, Ellen, is a newbie to the lifestyle and joined him there 6 years ago. Together they have lived a quiet life in tune with the weather and the seasons. In this video, we get a peek at their beautiful home and some insight into the systems, the work, and the challenges that come with living this way.
The couple relies on solar power for electricity (supplementing with a generator on grey days), they have a wood stove for heat, propane for cooking and laundry, and a composting toilet for their waste.
There is a floating greenhouse and some raised garden beds on the deck that provide approx. 50% of their fresh vegetables in the summer...

Couple Living in a Beautiful Floating Home on a Peaceful River – Full Tour & How It Works
Jade and Tim decided to live on a float home because it was the perfect compromise between wanting to live close to nature and needing to live close to the city for work. Their home is a modern and minimalist black two-story home that sits on top of a floating foundation made with styrofoam encased in plywood. The home is 30' long x 20' wide, and the float is 40' long x 20' wide (the size of a standard float home slip).

Couple Living in a Tent on a Self-Built Raft - Floating Off the Grid
Jojo and Norah are on the adventure of a lifetime! They live in a tent on a self-built raft and travel around Sweden's lakes via the Dalsland Canal. Their raft measures 2.9-meter x 7-meter and it's built with impregnated wood and 28 x 200 litre barrels. It weighs a total of 1.5 tonnes and is powered by a 6 hp 2-stroke engine.

Amazon River Islands, the Floating Forest - Wildest Islands - Go Wild
The Anavilhanas and Mariua archipelagos consist of more than 1,000 river islands and stretch along a 1,000km stretch of the Rio Negro, deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
Thousands of kilometers from the nearest ocean these river islands are unique. Surrounded not by coral reefs and crystal clear waters but by flooded forests and hidden dangers.
Flooded for 6 months of the year the islands are a fortress of submerged trees and wandering vines. They are home to some of the most unusual creatures in the world. This is a world like no other where the forest floor becomes the riverbed, fish feed from the treetops, and canopy dwellers are stalked by creatures that lurk beneath.

Full tour of a stunning floating tiny house that’s set up on the shore of a small lake. It’s fully off-grid and it’s designed to be used in all four seasons, even in the winter! The interior is surprisingly spacious with comfortable areas to eat, sleep, and relax, and one of the coolest features is the full-size garage door that opens up so it feels like you’re on a boat or on a dock while you’re in the living room.

https://www.instagram.com/boraborealqc/
https://www.facebook.com/boraborealqc
https://boraboreal.com/
The tiny floating home is 12 feet wide by 35 feet long and it’s tied to shore with metal cables at all four corners. The platform is installed on a set of PVC floats with foam inside and that’s what keeps the home floating. When winter comes the floats can freeze in the ice so that it can be used year-round.
The house boat is not connected to the grid so for power there are two 250 W solar panels charging six batteries that provide all the electricity. There's a woodstove and a propane heater for heat, a Separett urine-diverting toilet, and they bring in/carry out the fresh and grey water.
The living room has modular sofas that can also be transformed into a guest bed, the kitchen and dinette are spacious enough to cook and host, and the attic ladder is an easy way to access the sleeping loft without obstructing the open-concept feel of the space during the day.

This stunning 700-square-foot, self-built float home is fully off-grid with solar power, a pellet stove, a composting toilet, and an evaporation grey water system that ensures nothing is dumped overboard! It has an open concept kitchen, living and dining space, a master bedroom and bathroom on the main floor, two bedrooms on the second floor, and the wraparound deck up top gives 360 degree views. Take a full tour of this sustainable tiny floating house!
You can follow Jay Blackmore and see more photos from his DIY float home build here:
https://www.instagram.com/floatinthekoots/
Jay built it in his spare time (between working, spending time with his kids, and sailing) over the course of 4 years as an alternative housing option to the country home he had before, which he felt was too expensive, too far from town, and too much maintenance. Now he doesn't have a lawn to mow or a driveway to shovel, and he is walking distance to all the amenities in town and just a few steps from his sailboat that is docked in the same marina.
It's not an easy lifestyle though, everything that goes in and out of the float home has to be carried there, including propane tanks, pellets for the woodstove, groceries, garbage, etc. even in the middle of winter when docks are icy and the wind is blowing. And it's quite public with boaters and paddlers going by all day. But Jay says it's all about mindset and he's okay with these smaller challenges since it allows him a lifestyle that suits him perfectly.

Charlie built this beautiful off-grid float home in a remote channel on the west coast and has been living on it full-time for the past 25 years. His wife, Ellen, is a newbie to the lifestyle and joined him there 6 years ago. Together they have lived a quiet life in tune with the weather and the seasons. In this video, we get a peek at their beautiful home and some insight into the systems, the work, and the challenges that come with living this way.
The couple relies on solar power for electricity (supplementing with a generator on grey days), they have a wood stove for heat, propane for cooking and laundry, and a composting toilet for their waste.
There is a floating greenhouse and some raised garden beds on the deck that provide approx. 50% of their fresh vegetables in the summer. The rest of their food is bought at the grocery store in bulk so that they can stay out for 6 weeks or longer at a time.
Their home is quite remote and it's water access only, so have a couple of open boats, and one enclosed boat for travelling in rough or cold weather. The couple says they sometimes have to wait more than a week for a weather window to make a safe trip away from the cabin.
In this video, we get a peek at their beautiful home and some insight into the systems, the work, and the challenges involved in living this way.
"Charlie and Ellen acknowledge and express our gratitude to all those people and businesses who are on the grid and provide supplies and services that help us maintain our ability to live out where we do, off-grid and in the wilderness. We are so fortunate to be where we are and we know we couldn’t do it without their support.”
A very special thank you to Charlie and Ellen for sharing their story with us, and to Lukáš for making the trip all the way out there to film them. You can see more of his work here:

Couple Living in a Beautiful Floating Home on a Peaceful River – Full Tour & How It Works

Jade and Tim decided to live on a float home because it was the perfect compromise between wanting to live close to nature and needing to live close to the city for work. Their home is a modern and minimalist black two-story home that sits on top of a floating foundation made with styrofoam encased in plywood. The home is 30' long x 20' wide, and the float is 40' long x 20' wide (the size of a standard float home slip).
You can follow and find out more about Jade, Tim, and Yoggu Foods here:
https://www.instagram.com/yoggu.foods
https://yoggu.ca/
Their journey began 3 years ago while they were living together on a small trawler-style motorboat. Their moorage (marina rent) was at risk because any new float home arriving at the marina would have forced them out of their spot. So they hired a boat house (boat shed) builder to build a simple float home shell, and then they finished the interior with the help of friends and family (it helps that Tim is a plumber by trade).
The result is a simple, peaceful, open-concept home that perfectly matches the peaceful river surroundings.
But living on a float home isn't always easy and as the couple says in this video, it can be like the Wild West. Marinas don't have to follow the same rules as landlords on land, so there's little security when it comes to moorage, and there aren't many spaces available for float homes if they do need to find a new spot, like they did this year. Their original marina raised their moorage cost by 35% so they went looking for a new spot and were lucky to find one nearby.
We hope you enjoy meeting this couple and checking out their floating home lifestyle!
Thanks for watching!

Their original marina raised their moorage cost by 35% so they went looking for a new spot and were lucky to find one nearby.
We hope you enjoy meeting this couple and checking out their floating home lifestyle!
Thanks for watching!

Last year, I made a video all about the "Rettungsboje" or Rescue buoys, a unique rescue craft designed to act as floating rescue stations for the lufftwaffe during WWII. What I didn't realise was that one had survived - and so I went out looking for it.

Jojo and Norah are on the adventure of a lifetime! They live in a tent on a self-built raft and travel around Sweden's lakes via the Dalsland Canal. Their raft measures 2.9-meter x 7-meter and it's built with impregnated wood and 28 x 200 litre barrels. It weighs a total of 1.5 tonnes and is powered by a 6 hp 2-stroke engine.
You can follow Jojo and Norah's adventures here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1P2AzjSbKnveOkSyu4dEzA
https://www.instagram.com/my.northern.story/
https://www.instagram.com/outdoordiary/
The couple has created a surprisingly cozy little float home on the raft with a bed, a table and chairs, and even a woodstove! For electricity, they have 2x 150-watt solar panels and 3 batteries.
When they visit small towns along their route they carry groceries and gas cans on a homemade handcart.
Their tent is a Sibley 500 Protech tent by Canvas Camp:

And you can find out more about the Dalsland Canal here:

The Anavilhanas and Mariua archipelagos consist of more than 1,000 river islands and stretch along a 1,000km stretch of the Rio Negro, deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
Thousands of kilometers from the nearest ocean these river islands are unique. Surrounded not by coral reefs and crystal clear waters but by flooded forests and hidden dangers.
Flooded for 6 months of the year the islands are a fortress of submerged trees and wandering vines. They are home to some of the most unusual creatures in the world. This is a world like no other where the forest floor becomes the riverbed, fish feed from the treetops, and canopy dwellers are stalked by creatures that lurk beneath.
