There is a lot of talk these days about the boat being equivalent to a second home and therefore it can be reached by leaving one’s own region, complying with the anti COVID regulations and put in place by the various governments.
But the boat can really be a viable alternative to a second home, where to live their leisure time, without having to necessarily have a second home to the sea?
Yes, the boat can be to all intents and purposes a second home on the water. Indeed a villa and not an apartment. And we prove it with some examples that we found at the Milan Yachting Week – The digital boat show where you will find moored in the virtual port dozens of boats of all sizes.
Are you ready? Here are five examples from 10 to 14 meters of any price, they are boats born to offer convenience and comfort comparable to those of a house, with the advantage of being able to move on the sea!
10 meters: Sealine C 330, the second home that takes advantage of all the space
Category: Open cruiser
Let’s get on board together the Sealine C330 – click here – which with its 10.31 meters in length and 3.50 meters in width encloses all the comfort of a much larger motorboat. 10 meters in length that are also perfect for a second home at sea for a family of 4/5 people.
The work of Sealine and the famous English designer Bill Dixon ensures that space is exploited to the maximum, but with class and great taste. Easy to say in such small dimensions, very difficult to do.
On deck, with a cockpit that opens and closes thanks to the intelligent use of glass, the Sealine C 330 seems to be on a sheltered salon that turns into an open terrace overlooking the sea with a kitchen. Dixon’s great work can be seen even more in the interiors with two cabins and a large bathroom area, illuminated by large hull windows. In short, the ideal boat as a second home, day trips but also to make a real cruise with friends or family.

If then, as in this case, there is also a Fly (terrace above the roof of the boat) then the useful space increases even more.
And there is no better example to define a boat a real second home on the water. And what a boat! The great strength of the Fountaine Pajot MY5 is in comfort with a bright and spacious interior.
