Trade a boat for a house
Marine equity, brought ashore. Liveaboards and yacht owners converting vessels into foundations, with the homeowner heading the other way.
High-value boat owners (yachts, cruisers, and large powerboats) are converting their marine equity into residential real estate. These swaps work when a homeowner wants the boat life and a boat owner wants to put down roots, creating a clean two-party exchange.

Yacht owners with high annual maintenance costs converting to a home’s predictable ownership expenses
Boat owners approaching retirement who want a stable residential base instead of marina dependency
Homeowners who want a boat badly enough to offer their home as the primary trade currency
