"Thrive" New 2025 2xBed, 2xBath, Pontoon Houseboat


This brand-new pontoon houseboat "Thrive", was first launched in November 2025. Representing a rare opportunity to secure a modern, high-quality vessel in pristine condition. Highly sought after and seldom available, this calibre of houseboat sets a new benchmark in design, finish, and off-grid performance. From the moment you step aboard, the exceptional presentation and craftsmanship are immediately apparent.

The exterior features covered fore-deck, perfect latching stainless-steel gates and fencing, Merbau decking planks, pump-out points positioned for convenience, and floor-to-ceiling glass that floods the interior with natural light. The rear deck is expansive, fully covered, and marine carpeted, offering a very comfortable space for entertaining or simply enjoying the river views. A marine-carpeted swim deck provides easy access for water activities, and all electrical systems, pumps, and essential components are neatly housed and accessible.

Inside, a clean starboard helm includes hydraulic steering and Yamaha instrumentation, while the portside forward lounge creates a comfortable cruising area that could easily convert to additional guest accommodation. The main living space flows beautifully into a modern kitchen equipped with Meganite benchtops, mirrored splashback, island bench, Euro stove, grill, and oven, integrated Euro fridge/freezer and dishwasher, exhaust fan, with ample cupboard and drawer storage. A dining and lounge area sits adjacent. Hybrid flooring runs throughout the vessel, complementing the open-plan layout designed for seamless indoor and outdoor living.

Accommodation comprises two large queen-size primary suites, each designed with walk-around space, built-in bedsides, wardrobe storage, USB charging points, and sliding glass door access to the sponson deck. Both suites feature their own large ensuite tiled bathrooms, finished with wall-mounted vanities, household flushing toilets, and glass-enclosed showers.

One of this vessel's standout attributes is its fully independent off-grid electrical system. It includes a Victron 48/10 MultiPlus II 10kW inverter charger, Victron 450/200 Smart Solar Charger, Four x PylonTech US5000B 48V 4.8kWh LiFePO4 rack-mounted Lithium house batteries, and Twenty-Four x Jinko 440W solar panels delivering a total of 10.56kW of solar capacity. This system enables all appliances and onboard systems to run including the Hitachi 10KW reverse cycle air conditioning, without the need for shore or generator power.

Propulsion is by a class-leading 2025 Yamaha 60hp High Thrust EFI four-stroke outboard motor with only three hours of use. A 200-litre fuel tank offers generous cruising range.

The vessel is fully compliant with Electrical, Gas, and EPA wastewater requirements, comes with an insurance risk assessment completed, and is registered until November 2026. Located in the lower Murray river region. Note: an alternate mooring/berth will be required.

This houseboat is genuinely move-in-ready, allowing the new owner to furnish and personalise to their own taste with all structural and design work already completed to an exceptional standard. It is an outstanding vessel that delivers river living to its finest and will be an absolute pleasure to sell.
