Günal explained, “Many boats do not have the living space to provide all the accommodations and comforts people want. Power catamarans offer more volume but also have become quite expensive. That left houseboats as the only option.”
However, Reina did not settle for replicating the “outdated” floating homes of the past. Instead, they embarked on designing sleek, modern vessels that would appeal to a new generation of discerning yachters.

The Reina houseboat lineup comprises five models, ranging from a functional “floating RV” to an extravagant two-story overwater condo. These vessels vary in size from 26 to 60 feet and boast upscale interior decor, high-quality furniture, top-tier appliances, and smart-home technology.

What sets Reina’s houseboats apart is their versatility. These vessels are not confined to lakes and canals; they meet U.S. Coast Guard standards and are suitable for open-sea navigation. Constructed from marine-grade aluminum, they feature a hull design similar to catamarans, ensuring stability. Each houseboat is powered by the latest generation of Mercury outboard engines known for their fuel efficiency, quiet operation, and smooth performance. Moreover, they are certified with an Ultra Low Emissions rating from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

To further reduce emissions, seafarers can opt for batteries as an alternative power source instead of a traditional generator.

Reina’s houseboats will be manufactured in Turkey, a renowned yachting hub. The first model, the Reina Live 44DR, is set to make its debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October. With this innovative approach, Reina hopes to spearhead the emerging trend of Houseyachts in the marine industry.
