One Toronto man is living out his dream of living on a boat right on the waters of Toronto Harbour. Adrian Ghobrial takes a tour of the seventeen hundred square foot unconventional home.
My father was aging and ailing and needed me there to help him over the last bunch of years before he passed. I had let go of the boat by then and I'm now in Jamaica planning on getting another
Cool story, but I'd like to know more of the practical details such as the cost of renovation, harbour fees, and how he gets his mail etc...and what this man does for a living to be able to make this dream a reality 😀

I know someone who wanted to purchase a boat to live on it and I asked him, will the boat have a shower? He answered: No, but I'm going to get a gym membership for it
Freezing during winter and moisture issues. Damp. Hopefully he thought about winter plumbing as it freezes and you have to wrap your boat basically living in a Saran warp box
@@GK-yi4xv ya just saw that good point - but i think it would be worth it for him to be self sufficient with a few solar panels instead of relying on shore power - he can also get a relay that would use some of his motors alternator power to direct it to his battery bank
Why go on city tv to showcase something that should be a secret? Just live comfortably like a penny pincher and avoid telling people. Why is this even on the news?
When I was a kid I thought it would be cool to live on a boat, like Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice. Kids today must be thinking, it would be cool just to find an affordable apartment when I'm an adult
Realistically, it’s a home on very rough, gross water which then freezes. It’s a home also frozen into a ice cube. This is very common in places like Amsterdam, and southern USA. I do love the idea. Ideally once retired, the guy should boat down south. Who enjoys Toronto during winter?
