Two-story floating apartment in luxury Florida

Even with a superyacht as luxurious as it may be, the billionaires eventually yearn for the coziness of a home. Why don’t these extravagant floating villas have more of a residential feel to them? Reina Boats has a solution ready and waiting; it’s known as houseyachts. The modest houseboat of the 1980s and 1990s has been redesigned to fit the 2023 way of life and style. There are several different sizes of house yachts, including 26-, 34-, 44-, and 60-foot variants. Five avatars are available in the Reina range, ranging from an opulent two-story beachfront condo to a floating RV.

During the epidemic, when the high seas appeared like the finest place to be with all the conveniences and amenities of home, Reina founders Hayri Dayi and Emin Günal had the concept. What was obviously lacking, though, was a cozy boat that could provide comforts and spaciousness without breaking the bank.

According to a statement from Günal, “many boats do not have the living space to provide all the accommodations and comforts people want.” “Power catamarans have grown rather pricey, but they also offer more volume. Houseboats were then the only viable choice.

One of the two Reina Live models is the spacious and endearing L44 DR, which offers functionality for both permanent sailing and entertaining guests on the turquoise blue waters aboard in the outdoors. The living area, dining area, full kitchen, one bathroom, and two cabins are all included on the 44-footer L44 DR. A circular staircase connects the lower and top decks. To accommodate up to five people, the L44 DR divides the larger main cabin into two smaller cabins.

Comfortable indoor and outdoor dining areas and a fully functional C-shaped wraparound kitchen make long stays on the house yacht possible. These cutting-edge technological residences can be transported out on the wide ocean thanks to their twin powerful engines. “They function smoothly, use less fuel, and are remarkably quiet,” Günal continues. “They also hold a certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for Ultra Low Emissions.”

The first model, the Reina Live 44DR, will only be visible in October 2023 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
