A Renovated Historical Floating Home

The floating home named Pax is moored at Esquimalt's Sailors Cove Marina is packed with history, and has also been completely renovated to meet modern standards. When the couple purchased the boat it needed some TLC. The houseboat wasn't as it is now. The boat was fully gutted and couple Jason and Cayley redid the whole thing. The owners Jason and Cayley work as professional shipwright and carpenter, respectively. The houseboat features one bedroom and one bathroom, Pax measures about 30 feet long with an open-concept kitchen, separate sleeping area, rooftop deck, and storage options. The floating home also comes with a parking space and access to the marina's amenities.

Restoration Journey of a Derelict Vessel

Jason says the home was one of 25 boats built in Victoria for Expo 86 but later fell into disrepair with much-needed restoration, prompting a renovation project that took around one and a half years to complete. Jason and his partner Cayley came across the boat and it had all these beautiful windows, but the houseboat was very derelict and quite neglected, Jason says in the video.

Passion and Dedication in Renovation

The floating home is a tiny home on the water the way it's designed and the way the couple put it together. It just seemed like something they had to do. There was a lot of exterior work that had to be done. They replaced about 10 or 15 percent of the hull, and then they came inside and gutted it back to the studs so that they could reinsulate with all new wiring and all new plumbing and, of course, a whole new interior. Jason says he and Cayley put their hearts and souls into the project, summing it up as a good union with their professional backgrounds combined.
