What is a houseboat?

A Houseboat is a relatively new type of vessel. It can best be described as a sailing vacation home. The space on board is not comparable to a traditional motor yacht but is more like a houseboat or vacation home. In a Houseboat, you basically stay in a cottage on the water and have much more visibility all around than in a boat.

If you live in wetlands or a large city, you will see them regularly at the docks: houseboats. A relaxed vibe from the lapping water against the keel and the cheerfully decorated wooden gardens. Sometimes someone is sunbathing on the deck. A Houseboat is really just that, but designed for tourists to spend a few days or weeks on.

Just imagine, "The friendliness and convivial hospitality of those on the water give you that real vacation feeling. Away from the daily hustle and bustle. Having real time for each other with friends or family'.

Adverse returns? No depreciation? Low residual value?

Many investors choose real estate as a safe haven when it comes to returns and capital accumulation. For example, with renting out or selling vacation homes, apartments and other projects. However low your risk with real estate, that risk can be even lower and the return much higher. How? Welcome aboard with OLAV BOATS. Like you, we are ready to go.

Tired of low interest rates on your savings? Do you have little or no confidence in investing in (vacation) homes where returns often end up being negative or where you end up having to sell with a residual debt? Would you like to finally make a positive return on your capital with little risk and a low entry level (from € 129.000,-)?

How does depreciation work?

Fancy doing the math? At 40 years, a Houseboat does not last as long as a vacation home and therefore depreciation on it is somewhat higher. In 20 years the Houseboat has a residual value of 50%. But that doesn't make for a high risk. That's because your returns including this depreciation are easily between €9,000 and €12,000 per year. On an investment of €129,000, that means a net return of between 8% and 10%.
