About this property
"Tiny House" on Water: The Sunfish Houseboat
The "Just Us" Escape Sleeps 2 If your priority is "lines in the water," the 30-foot Minnow is the boat you want. As the smallest vessel in our fleet, it is nimble, easy to handle, and purpose-built for the serious angler who wants to get into the tight bays where the trophies hide.
The Details
The Exterior (360-Degree Fishability) On most houseboats, to get from the front to the back, you have to walk through the cabin. Not here. These boats features a dedicated External Walkway along both sides.
The Tactical Advantage Imagine you hook a 40-inch Northern Pike off the front deck. As he makes a run toward the back of the boat, you don't have to panic. You can simply walk along the side rail, rod in hand, fighting the fish all the way to the rear swim platform for the net job. You have 360-degree access to the water.
The Interior (Efficiency First) Step inside, and you’ll see a cabin designed with zero wasted space. It’s compact, practical, and has everything you need to stay fed and rested between bites.
The Galley (Starboard) On your right, a compact galley with a stove, sink, and refrigerator. It’s perfectly set up for frying up the morning’s catch or heating up a pot of chili after a long day on the ice-out waters.
The Dinette (Starboard) Just forward of the kitchen is a booth dinette. It’s your map room, your card table, and your dining room.
Sleeping & Living (Port) Across the aisle, you have a Day Bed that serves as a sofa during the day and sleeping quarters at night. Combined with the convertible dinette, this boat comfortably sleeps two anglers (or a couple) without any fuss.
The Head Tucked efficiently into the rear corner is the bathroom with a toilet and shower. It’s tight, but after three days of camping on the water, that hot shower is a game-changer.
The "Penthouse" Deck Just like her big sisters, the Mallard features a spiral staircase on the rear deck leading to the roof.
The Scout Tower While it’s a great spot for a lawn chair, for the angler, this is your spotting tower. Get up high with a pair of polarized sunglasses to spot submerged boulders, weed lines, and cruising fish that you can't see from the water level.
The Slide And yes, even the workhorse of the fleet has a water slide off the back. Because even the most serious fisherman needs to cool off in July. (And hey, if you’re that serious we’ll pop it off before you head out for a nominal fee so you can stay totally focused.)
