Where should I buy for boating?

I want to buy a house by a river or lake for boating.


Any recommendations?.


What about the danube, are there houses that have yards right on the river bank?. Anyone here have a boat?.

You'll easily find a cheapish house on the Danube - and when the regular floods arise you'll find out why it was a "bargain"... 😂


You'd also be wise to talk to insurance companies about any prospective purchases!

There's also the Black Sea and quite a few reservoirs.


While it's nice to be waterside, it might be worthwhile considering a smaller boat with trailer and/or the latest inflatable canoes/SUPs. Being, say, 5-15km from water would not be massively inconvenient (unless you want to boat every day) and would massively increase your options (and reduce your cost).

Thanks this is good advice.


We already have a house on the black sea, in a resort town (10 mins walk to the beach and bars and restaurants etc).


But I fancy getting a small place by a lake or the danube as well.

@JimJ

Good advice. Something cheap to put a small prefab was the idea.
