VIGO VS. HOUSEBOATS:
Not exactly.
VIGO provides many houseboat-style comforts — private cabin, kitchen, washroom, sleeping accommodations and living space — in a lighter, more compact and mobile package.
Think of VIGO as a cruising mini-cottage rather than a traditional houseboat.
Traditional houseboats provide plenty of living space, but their size and weight can make transportation, launching and storage complicated.
VIGO is significantly lighter and trailerable. Depending on the model and local requirements, it can be transported by road, launched at suitable recreational ramps and retrieved without specialized commercial transportation or launching equipment.
That gives owners much greater freedom to explore different lakes, rivers and waterways.
VIGO is designed to provide many of the comforts associated with a traditional houseboat at a much more accessible price point.
The advantages can continue after purchase. Lower weight, moderate horsepower, trailerability, land storage and less dependence on permanent marina facilities can potentially reduce ongoing ownership costs.
Houseboat-style comfort. A fraction of the weight. Much greater freedom.
For many people, experiencing a traditional houseboat means renting one for a vacation. Large size, transportation, storage and marina requirements can make conventional houseboat ownership less practical.
VIGO was designed with personal ownership and mobility in mind.
Its relatively low weight, trailerability and ability to be stored on land mean your VIGO can be ready for weekends, fishing trips, family adventures and spontaneous getaways throughout the boating season.
Don’t just rent the experience. Own it.
