A houseboat is a boat that serves as a full time residence and therefore contains all the amenities you would expect in an actual house including multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, fully functional kitchens and so on. A houseboat can be operated and taken out for cruising or fishing but most are permanently moored in a place that will serve as a residence. This allows for the boat to be connected to utilities such as electricity from a land-based source, as well as having access to clean water.
