There are several investment opportunities in the houseboating sector in Kariba at the moment, but these two stand out. The one, the Voyager, is a steel pontoon houseboat, whilst the other, the Utopia, is a monohull cruiser with more usual “V” shape.
A houseboat is more spacious than a cruiser, though a cruiser is traditionally more luxuriously adorned and faster at cruising. The luxury trend is changing as we are now seeing more superbly designed and furnished pontoon houseboats.
The Voyager
The Voyager is a double deck steel pontoon houseboat licensed for 20 passengers for overnight sleeping. She is 20 metres long and 6.5 metres wide.
She runs on two 6-cylinder Ford Mermaid diesel engines. Other items in the same, and on board the houseboat, include a 9KVA Kohler diesel generator, a 5KVA petrol back-up generator, 4 x 9000 BTU air-conditioning units in the 4 cabins, two x fire hose rolls, 12 volt lighting system, a pontoon tender boat with an 85HP Yamaha outboard motor. As with most things, she will need the new owner’s touch to cement pride of ownership.
Price guide/Investment USD$90,000.00.
The MV Utopia
The MV Utopia is a speedy monohull cruiser licensed for 12 passengers for overnight sleeping. She is fully equipped and comes with four (4) air-conditioned cabins, a speedboat for a tender boat, entertainment equipment and all the paraphernalia of a charter houseboat.
Price guide/Investment USD$65,000.00

Both houseboats are going concerns, meaning that you basically walk in and start your business, if you are investing for chartering services, whilst the previous owners walk out. You could also acquire a houseboat for private use only.
