There is a lot of talk these days about the boat being equivalent to a second home and therefore it can be achieved by going outside one’s region, complying with anti-COVID regulations and put in by various governments.

But can the boat really be a viable alternative to a second home, where one can live out one’s leisure time, without necessarily having to have a second beach house as well?

Yes the boat can in effect be a second home on the water. In fact a villa and not an apartment. And we prove it to you with some examples we found at Milan Yachting Week – The digital boat show where you find dozens of boats of all sizes moored in the virtual harbor.

The work of Sealine and renowned British designer Bill Dixon makes sure that space is used to its fullest, but with class and great taste. Easy to say at such a small size, very difficult to do.

On deck with a cockpit that opens and closes through the clever use of glazing, on the Sealine C 330 seems to be on a sheltered salon that turns In an open terrace overlooking the sea with a kitchen. Dixon’s great work is seen even more in the interior with two cabins and a large bathroom area, lit by large hull windows. In short, the ideal boat as a second home, day trips but also for real cruising with friends or family.
