Hot Tub Boats: The Wish of Owning Both has Finally Come True!

Have you ever been sitting in a hot tub and said, “Man, I’d love to be on a boat right now?” Or, maybe you said something like, “I’d kill to be in a hot tub right now,” while you were on a boat? Well, the geniuses over at Hot Tub Boats have put their brains to work, and became good friends with U.S.C.G. (United States Coast Guard) to provide both a hot tub and boat, and have now created what you see above.

Now…let’s get to what you need to know:

The boat is fifteen feet in length, and it can fit six people and has a run time of ten hours. So choose your friends wisely; you’ll be quite close to one another.

The hot tub is eight feet in length and has width of four feet, and a maximum temperature of one-hundred and four degrees (Fahrenheit).

It has beautiful African Teak decks and a swimstep, as well as a waterproof stereo with wired remote for your MP3 player or iPod. So you can finally sing this song, and it will actually make sense.

While we’re on the topic of technical features, it has a 24-volt, joystick operated drive system that allows anyone to drive it—while sitting in pure relaxation. It is battery monitored, and comes with a Smart-Plug shore power connection.

There is no need to have a boaters’ education card to drive, rent or own this dream machine. So, if you’re feeling generous enough, you could let some of your other sea-dwellers drive it, too.

Alcohol is not allowed, which is probably a good thing because they’ve never mixed very well with hot tubs, anyway.

While you can purchase the boats anywhere, their weekday and weekend rentals are only in Seattle, which run Monday-Thursday at $139 an hour—with time slots going from 2-4 hours; however, if you’re going to do a weekend rental (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), it’ll cost you $159 per hour. And Hot Tub Boats does individual and small group memberships, as well as premium and corporate ones, too.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
