Every Hank’s Houseboat comes equipped with a custom Rooftop Entertainment Deck, designed for gatherings, relaxation, and panoramic views of the water. Outfitted with powder-coated aluminum railings, propane-powered fireplaces, ample seating, and secure lockable storage, it’s the perfect space to unwind or entertain. Whether you’re hosting friends or soaking in the sunset, your rooftop deck brings luxury living outdoors.
Our powder-coated aluminum railing with stainless steel cabling is designed to deliver strength, style, and long-term durability on the water. Standard on the entire roof deck, it provides secure, unobstructed views while maintaining a clean, modern look. The powder-coated finish resists rust, fading, and corrosion, making it ideal for harsh marine environments and low-maintenance ownership. Stainless steel cabling adds strength without blocking sightlines, so you can enjoy sunsets, skylines, and open water from every angle. This railing system can also be added to the front and/or back decks for a cohesive look and added safety throughout your houseboat.
All of our houseboats are equipped with high-quality, energy-efficient windows and doors. Choose from casement, double-hung, or custom sliders-each designed for style, performance, and lasting comfort. Designed by Andersen. We finish every project with premium vinyl or wooden bullnose windows, blending durability with timeless design to elevate the look and feel of your houseboat.
At Hank’s Houseboats, every detail is chosen to stand up to life on the water—and to look exceptional doing it. That’s why we use Everlast® composite siding, proudly made in Pittsburgh and backed by a lifetime warranty. Designed for unmatched durability in waterfront environments, Everlast resists moisture, warping, and fading while requiring minimal maintenance year after year. With a range of eye-catching colors that elevate both modern and classic designs, our siding ensures each Hank’s Houseboat is as bold, enduring, and refined as the lifestyle it’s built for.
Hank's Case StudyHank’s Houseboats partners with local vendors like East Coast Turf, an authorized installer of ForeverLawn, to bring professional-grade golf turf and yoga grass to the water. Engineered for performance and durability, this specialty turf offers a true putting experience while standing up to the elements. It transforms your houseboat deck into a year-round retreat for waterfront relaxation and play.
Whether you’re a marine enthusiast who enjoys calm cruises through creeks and inlets or prefer to stay comfortably docked, our team will design the ideal setup for your experience on the water. From retractable Side Shift Bow Thrusters to custom dual rear-mounted outboard motors, we provide precision performance paired with reliability. Through our exclusive partnerships with Suzuki and Mercury, we extend dealer pricing directly to you. Every Hank’s Houseboat is engineered for confidence and control on the water—and we stay with you every step of the way, offering personalized training and on-water safety support long after launch.
Every Hank’s Houseboat comes standard with a custom helm, expertly connected to your outboard engine for smooth, reliable control whenever you’re ready to cruise. You choose the helm style and its location—whether you want it tucked discreetly out of the way or positioned front and center for easy access. Many owners add a helm cover, allowing you to simply cover it up and forget about it while you relax and enjoy your floating home. It’s another way we blend function, flexibility, and thoughtful design into every Hank’s Houseboat.
A signature feature of many Hank’s Houseboats is our beautifully engineered spiral staircase, sourced from The Iron Shop near Philadelphia. The Hank’s team takes pride in partnering with local vendors and small, family-owned businesses—and The Iron Shop is a perfect example, carrying forward a legacy of craftsmanship that began in 1931. Built to withstand waterfront conditions, these outdoor spiral staircases combine timeless design with exceptional durability—Mother Nature is no match. Each staircase is designed for safety with non-slip treads and sturdy handrails, offered in steel or aluminum, and fully customizable with a wide range of trims, accessories, and all-weather composite materials including Trex®. The result is a striking, long-lasting centerpiece that performs beautifully year after year.
