They turned a 100 yr old tugboat into a family home! Floating home tour

[@jenniboo9441]

There is something so endearing about the owner and how much she loves her boat

[@suzaynnschick158]

It was wonderful to hear from someone who had lived in their "tiny house" for decades.

[@Izastwin]

I truly felt her heart break when she mentioned having to sell the boat, though it was a thought so far i still felt that pain for her, having to give up the boat and that lifestyle, bless her and her husband, they've done a fantastic job fixing and utilising the boat to benefit them. 🙏🏾🧡

What a wonderful adventure she and her husband have been on together. You can tell how much she loves and appreciates her husband, their daughters, and the life they've enjoyed on the boat. It will be a new chapter when they move off the Zenia Sophia, but it should be lovely all the same. God bless them and thanks for sharing this one.

This is my favorite of your episodes. It’s a way of living I hadn’t imagined (even though I knew people lived in boats). Loved the boat-home and the enthusiastic owner. And her husband’s artistic work on the boat was wonderful.

[@carolineclark5369]

one of the most homely/warm/rustic/welcoming/&retro feeling boats ive ever seen. This wonderful characterful boat really has a heart.

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

Very nice and interesting and also educational. My heart goes out to the homeowner as I could hear the change in her voice when she spoke about aging out of boat life. I hope she and her husband find another unique home that will help with the transition. Best wishes to them.😊❤

I CRACKED UP AND LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHEN i SAW THE SEA LION HILARIOUS! HUGE!

[@Dld1985]

I’ve been a livaboard for over 20 years. When I first moved on board I only planned on about 6 months. I learned that it was peaceful , secure and economical. My boat is 44’ with most all home convinces. AC/Heat , full galley , nice size head with separate shower , washer dryer. All in all about 300 square feet. I don’t need any bigger. The boat is in excellent running condition and within moments I can be on my way and use it like any boat. I’m at at a 1000 slip full service marina with security and security gates. We have maybe 25 livaboards at our marina. Lifestyle certainly not for everyone but for those who like it there are a lot of pluses.

[@PamelaPakkerKozicki]

Exactly! Not for everyone BUT it's closing a lifestyle not an investment you can turn around and sell for a profit. (And you and I know what BOAT stands for! 😂)

[@tonamiller6850]

[@d.henderson1347]

I love that lady and her love for what her and her family has done and lived. First time I’ve ever seen a tiny home tugboat too so very interesting. I knew people lived on boats but never really seen how or what it looked like much. Then to know they kinda tiny homed it also was great and a learning experience too. She seems like such a great person and I hope she can still make life just as great and journey full after moving off of the tugboat🖤✌️

[@LaLadybug2011]

What a life she has led with her husband and children! No matter which path you take in life, when you reach your final act, season or quarter; there may be regrets. I'm sure their daughters missed some things like maybe the prom or playing sports-but look at all that they gained. Our landlocked lives are the same-what have we missed out on and what would WE do differently. Just this one amazing video has made me think tonight-what have I missed out on while chasing the American dream of "success," which means buying things and changing houses every few years to bigger and 'better.' WoW. I don't smoke or drink but this has stirred up some deep questions in me and for me! Thank you Jenna! Thank you to this family for sharing their home. I am in awe of this woman.

[@rainydaylady6596]

When I see someone who's lived on the water I wonder why I never tried it. My aunt had a house boat and it was wonderful. Especially when the bosta would go by with their Christmas lights on in a parade. There was even a group that would dress up in Victorian era clothes and sing carols. It was incredible. I can't help thinking that a houseboat would be a great transition from the tug boat. I was starting to tear up when her voice changed. 😢🖖💕

[@susanyates4233]

Amazing tour, beautiful woodwork, and the ladies voice so soothing.

[@ziggyvonmars]

This is my dream and I would love to buy this very boat because I can FEEL the love and the pride in every piece of wood and aluminium. The fact her husband built it for his family and they raised their family just makes my heart clench, unfortunately I am in Australia and I doubt our timings will match up.. but what a beautiful unique boat and family! Thankyou so, so much for sharing your home and life onboard with us.. I hung on everyword. I must say when you mentioned selling, tears were in MY eyes.. if I bought it you'd forever be welcome ❤ Good luck and fare well!!

😢felt my own heart sink for her when she said she had to sell her home. It’s such a shame, but they are being sensible as one slip on that ladder….(mind she made it look very easy and appears to be extremely agile). What a wonderful voyage they’ve been on, lovely memories and living on land isn’t that bad; your own home and pop your stamp on it. They’ve worked hard for a beautiful home, which someone else will too love and call home too. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

Fantastic…love all the unique, creative designs throughout the boat..I stayed in Shell Shock marina in 1977. On a 1940’s , 60’ boat, used in WW!!, patrolling the NW coast.That started my love and fascination of living on a boat. Unfortunately I’m back on land, but dream of returning to that life. It is the best. Coming home at night, walking down the dock with a cacophony of sail rigging creating the best chime ever and most importantly all of the light reflections on the water…thanks…be safe…

Beautiful renovated tugboat. I love the swirl-buffed aluminum that adds a sculptural touch to your boat, as well as the windows, captain's chair, woodwork, and cozy knooks. I used to have a friend who was a live-aboard on her sailboat, the Sputnik, which she moored on J-Dock, which was also moored at Shilshoe Bay Marina. I've enjoyed Golden Gardens, Little Coney, and Ray's Boat House nearby. It's a lovely place to live with the Olympics across the Sound. Thank you for sharing! Jenny

For me personally I wouldn’t be able to live in such a confined space. I wouldn’t say I’m claustrophobic but I just need a little more space than that. But I must say that it’s obvious that they put their heart and soul into that boat. They molded it into how they wanted it and I think if that were something I wanted to do I would probably do it just how they did, by making it how I want it and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

Thank you so much for an intimate tour of your Home 'Afloat', I only wish I was thirty, maybe thirty five years younger, I would seriously contemplate new "digs", I love the water and lived a short while in Sauseleto, (Sp). I loved it but, the short time spent training for Law Enforcement turned out to not be my chosen career. Back to Las Vegas, Nevada, to live part time in a 46 foot Cabin Cruiser.
