Raft Types 03
River & Reservoir Houseboat
Houseboats for rivers, dams and reservoirs — moored or cruising — that must carry guests and withstand currents.
Highlights
- Real projects both moored in rows and cruising the river
- Steel-framed gabled roofs with on-board bathrooms
- Every pontoon leak-tested to reduce the risk of water ingress in service
Pontoon considerations
- Cruising rafts take knocks from current, debris and docking — double welds add strength
- Dam and river levels rise and fall seasonally — tell us about the site so mooring can be designed accordingly
- Guests on small rafts move around together — allow buoyancy for the maximum number of people
Calculation values for this raft type
| Usable pontoon buoyancy | 50% |
|---|---|
| Raft deck weight (approx.) | 180 kg/m² |
| Weight per person (incl. belongings) | 90 kg |
These values are for preliminary estimates. Our engineers verify and design for actual site conditions.
