Forget That Tiny House and Get a Tiny Houseboat Instead

Woodworker Builds The Perfect Tiny House Boat for Life on the Water

First, we had tiny houses, then we had tiny cabins, then we had tiny travel trailers, and now we have tiny houseboats. Yes, my friends, there exists a company that creates tiny houseboats that you can add to your already large stable of tiny homes and automobiles.

Not satisfied with a floating tent or a simple pontoon, Canadian design company Daigno took it upon itself to create Le Koroc, a pontoon boat with a solid wood cabin placed right on top of it. The cabin itself is built from laminated white cedar beams and ultra-light (but strong) plywood and sits on three 50/52H32 marine grade aluminum/magnesium alloy tubes that contain four-feet of sealed chambers, meaning this baby isn’t going down unless all three pontoons are punctures.

Le Koroc comes in two designs: the Fishing Series and the Holiday Series. Both options offer kitchens with a stove, sink, fridge, table, and storage, along with a bathroom that contains both a toilet and a shower. Both also offer a rear bedroom that doubles as seating and storage when not in use for sleeping. Where the two styles differ, however, comes down to their intent. Le Koroc Fishing Series is designed for just that: fishing. With accessories and add-ons that help to hold fishnets and poles, and an included fish tank for keeping your catch alive until grill time, which leads us to the best feature of the Fishing Series: the onboard barbecue. Yes, on Le Koroc you can catch your fish and grill it too.

The Holiday Series is a little more relaxing in its accommodations. Gone is the fish tank and in its place is extra seating with plenty of cupholder for day drinking on the lake, as well as smaller barbecue and more space to move around.

Both series come with standard marine operating equipment, which you can check out here. Pricing for Le Koroc comes in at around $80,000 CAD, or USD $60, 500.

If a glorified pontoon isn’t up to snuff for your nautical nonsense, why not check out this luxurious super yacht? Or better yet, this super villain submarine.

8 new summer movies we can’t wait to watch
Summer 2025 is filled with blockbusters
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey in Jurassic World Rebirth

The summer movie season has always been a time for Hollywood to release the most anticipated films of the year. Watching blockbusters in a relaxing, air-conditioned theater is the best antidote to the blazing sun outside. And while people were worried that the COVID-19 pandemic would ruin the theater industry forever, in-person theater viewing is back and stronger than ever, half a decade after its dip.

The summer movie list is usually filled with Marvel and other comic book films, but this year there's only one big superhero release. Dinosaurs, racing, karate, and Tom Cruise running around shirtless (for the final time?) will have to make do. These are the summer movies coming out in 2025.

Michael J. Fox could make for a highly emotional addition to the Shrinking cast
Fox will be reuniting with creator Bill Lawrence for the series.
Michael J. Fox in Still

Shrinking is getting a major new addition to its third season. Deadline broke the news last week that Michael J. Fox would be joining the cast of the show's third season, marking a return to acting for the actor. Fox's casting on the show also marks a reunion with show creator Bill Lawrence, after the two first worked together on Spin City decades ago.

Although the details of Fox's role have not been reported, it seems likely that his casting will be related to Harrison Ford's Paul Rhoades, who revealed at the end of the show's first season that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. Fox has been living with the disease for decades, and had largely stepped away from acting in part because of the nature of his symptoms.
