Life on the Water ARKUP – Livable Yacht Explore your first floating home. There is no better lifestyle than this. Imagine an ultimate, year-round, oceanfront view, as well as the unique experience of being at the forefront of the latest “zero-emission” initiatives and technological advancements. House Yacht Living allows you to say “no” to property taxes, HOA fees, and of course, to live in absence of city laws. This is the premiere option to lead a remarkable life as an independent explorer. In other words, your house, your rules, wherever you see yourself living or vacationing, while protecting the natural world. THE VISION Enjoy the expandable 500 sq. ft. terrace and over-sized, high-end, loft style living room with avant-garde home automation technologies. The ARKUP is completely stable when lifted up on its 4 hydraulic spuds. These act as protection from the effects of waves, tropical winds, and category 4 hurricane turbulence. Arkup livable yachts have systems for rainwater harvesting, water purification, and waste management. In addition, solar panels are the source of all electrical needs. Therefore, you will be entirely “off-grid”. The awe-inspiring vessel is akin to that of a James Bond hideout. Choose comfort and grandeur in total autonomy while you take pleasure in life between the sea, the sky and the city.
