I lived on my (now moored) ship for over 30 years and I loved it, but want to spend the third part of my life in the Algarve, Portugal. We have all facilities here, so we are a floating house now, but the engine is still running. The size is 36 meters long and 6.10 meters wide, more than we will have in Portugal! Living here on the main river in Amsterdam on a boat this size is absolutely marvelous, no neighbours, yet in the centre of the city, own private mooring for the second or third little boat and a flat barge of 16 meters to 4.5 meters as a terrace makes it a unique place to be. Disadvantage: maintenance. There is always a lot of painting to do.
