The CaraBoat, which as the name suggests is both a caravan and a boat.
A stylish, sleek, aerodynamic caravan that is as easy to tow and is no higher than a normal off-road caravan, but then when in boat mode you have a safe, high-performance liveable houseboat, ready to explore the many lakes, rivers & estuaries

Excellent product we own a Caravan & 30ft river cruiser this CaraBoat makes more sense to me & the 2 engines are great. We had our twin engine boat up the Murray and one of the motors unexpectedly did a head gasket so we safely limped home on the other and make handling better.

Yes, this seems very well designed. I think they should have some kind of deck space for boat mode though... perhaps the seemingly unused roof deck? Possibly to unstable to allow people up there. I'm sure they considered it.

This is one if the nicer camper-type boats I've seen. Those of you that are critical appear to be critical for the sake of the internet. The stowaway control panel is innovative and placed at a fairly good position on the boat. The head is nice. The galley looks nice. The furnishings are good, as is forward and rear access. I do agree that two engines one such a smallish boat might be overly aggressive, and that a single good-quality outboard might do. It would certainly be economical to run/maintain and allow an initial purchase savings, maybe also giving a better rear dock access. It would be cool to have access to a reinforced upper platform to sunbathe or maybe fish from. Nice boat. I just lament that cool boats like this are not more popular (and marketed) here in the States.

I really like this very cool to combination of a camper and boat but I wish it had more outdoor space or front patio / sundeck. I don’t like feeling completely enclosed in “boat mode” When you are on the water I want to feel out in the air on the water not enclosed but I guess you could add a ladder and top railing and use the top if it could hold the weight

This is awesome but I think you need to make one you can drag along on an offroad trailer and have some side protection to avoid damaging the caraboat. This would give you all options of adventure, from taking it across remote areas to the beautiful lakes and seas.

Hi Chris, great news for you, we are sending the molds over to Europe in May 2017 where serious production will start, the US & Canadian markets will be supplied from Europe, in Aus, we are too far away to make it cost effective, keep an eye on our Facebook & web site for further updates. Fingers crossed, it will be around the end of 2017.

In the mid 1970s I worked for a builder in UK. We were converting the Caraboat factory at Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire into one making "Carburol" oil products after the UK Caraboat company went out of business. So this isn't a new idea but a re-invention.

You are correct, this is stated on our web site home page & on our RU-vid page (May 22 2015 when we first posted) there are many incarnations of a trailerable houseboat style, it just makes sense to be able to holiday your way.

seeing how much power it is equipped with and its slow hull design, you might manage a seagoing excursion, but more suited for rivers and lakes like the Great lakes on the calmest of days. it is 102.695.55 USD, likely not including shipping or transport ....

@glennraycleanplate8487
@glennraycleanplate8487 6 лет назад
i'm curious.. there seem to be no side access for entry and exit from a dock when you might need to use a dock for any number of reasons. Perhaps you can address this issue. Not always will one be accessing fuel and supplies from on land or at a shallow sandy beach. I have not seen video or pictures of anyone at the helm. There seems to be no seating for that purpose.Can you speak to this issue as well. Please don't get me wrong, i think this is a great design, however these 2 issues could lead me to choose something different.
@robshenn8402
@robshenn8402 6 лет назад
Hi, behind the stern sliding door but in front of the outboards, there is a step on each side for jetty access, we find it easier to pass the groceries through the large drop down galley window, bags can be placed directly on the benchtop. The helm is shown just after the 2 minute mark on the video, as its in the galley area, we use a folding stool which is taken out of the way when not required. If you have any further specific questions, please contact us via the website as we do not always check RU-vid, lots of pics from owners on or Facebook page too if you wish to have a look. Regards, Rob.

@robshenn6125
@robshenn6125 6 лет назад
Hi Gregory, the CaraBoat launches off the trailer like any trailer boat, the wheel arches are recessed into the hull to keep the overall trailer height down. This saves on windage when towing in caravan mode, it sits no higher than an off road van.

Surely we can manufacture those at half the current cost within Australia? If not, what about manufacturing them in New Zealand and shipping them worldwide from there? They have a good boat building industry and wages are lower. It seems such a shame to send such a good idea to the EU in order to make it at a realistic price.

I've owned 3 boats over a 14 year period and never had any major problems. The problem with many boat owners is that they don't perform the scheduled maintenance they should and run them for years without oil changes, gear oil changes, impeller replacement etc. Like anything, it you take care of it, it will last. I spend every weekend on the lake and I wouldn't trade it for anything

Very good idea for lovers of water recreation. But use it of using trailer and car vehicle for transportation means limitation of mobility. An even better idea would be combination of motorcamper and houseboat functionality: it would be a hybrid vehicle - with 4 wheels retractable like an airplane chassis, and a watertight bottom in the form of catamaran or trimaran. Then its owner could be traveling both along roads, and along rivers, lakes or even coastal shipping on the seas... Technically, this seems to me quite feasible for acceptable payment...
