"Slightly adventurous?": Vancouver boat rental could be your new home for $200 a month (PHOTOS)
We’ve spotted the deal of a lifetime if you’re sick of expensive rent in Vancouver, but there’s one caveat: your rental home would be a boat.
That boat in question is a she, a 28-foot Silverton Command Bridge.
“She is equipped with a very comfortable and spacious V-birth that comfortably sleeps 2-3 people,” reads the Facebook Marketplace listing. But it’s actually listed as a one-bed and bath.
The kicker? It’s only $200 per month, well below the monthly average for rent in the city.
But again, you’re on a boat.

For all your dining needs, there’s a propane stove and a BBQ with individual shutoff. There’s also a large kitchen sink and even a microwave which is fuelled by shore power.

Mooring is not included, but the lister suggests that it’s approximately $250 per month.
