Houseboat Planning

Planning and purchasing your new houseboat

In order to get the houseboat you deserve, careful planning is required. A new houseboat is a major investment and Twin Anchors will strive to deliver your boat to you exactly as you have envisioned her. Today’s premium houseboats are complex and so is the team required to design and build them.

Twin Anchors has a team of computer aided designers and a structural engineer who prepare over a dozen drawings for every boat including floor plans and elevations, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. While they are working on the technical details, our interior designer creates the interior styling details and color palette with you. To comply with Twin Anchors ISO 9000-2000 quality assurance program, we also prepare and complete in excess of eighty pages of checklists on every vessel we build! As you can imagine, this all takes time so planning is paramount.

Purchasing

Twin Anchors Marine does not currently provide “in house” financing, but we do keep abreast with financing availability and, if required, are pleased to help you find acceptable terms. We currently have access to financing via a 20-year Ships Mortgage with low fixed rates.

ONE-STEP PROCESS:
1. PLANNING & RESERVING YOUR BUILD SPOT
After receiving your quote, you wish to immediately proceed with an order. A deposit of $6,000.00 will lock in a build spot for you and get the drawing and design work completed.

In return for your $6,000.00 deposit, ($5,000.00 to hold the build spot and $1,000.00 as a drawing deposit), you will receive a $6,500.00 credit toward your new boat.

If, for any reason after drawings have commenced and prior to sixty days before the build is scheduled to begin, you are not able to proceed with your boat, Twin Anchors will return $5000.00 to you and you will retain a $1500.00 credit toward the building of your new boat at a future date.
