PRIVATE FLOAT HOMES
RESPECT & ENJOY
A1 - Moon Shadow

A2 - Our Kauai
This float home started as one level built in Victoria in 1975. In addition to the second level being added in 2005, many upgrades and renovations were also completed. Originally called Water Rat, the float home was also known as Estelle for a brief period. In 2010 the current owners moved aboard and the float home has been known as Our Kauai since.
This two bedroom, two full bathroom float home is Xft by Xft over two levels. Access to the outdoors includes three decks and the entire roof top patio. A unique feature of the home is the 4ft crawl space underneath the entire main floor which is great for always needed storage.

A8 - The Silver Lining
Weighing in at 75m tonnes and measuring 24ft. X 35ft, this home is one of the largest at Fisherman's Wharf. The base was engineered and built by IMF in Delta, BC and towed to Victoria in 2005. The home has positive floatation built of solid standard beadboard insulation with 4 ½ foot high concrete walls and concrete floor decking. The home’s christened name was Edwards by the Sea, and she came to the Wharf as a result of the 2002 lottery. With the help of a perpendicular dock, The Silver Lining is considered to be an excellent shield to other Dock A float homes more vulnerable to the winds.

In the theme of a deconstructed Orca, the deck silhouette is from an overhead view of the bow of the Orca. Carved by David Leff, there is a pod of Orcas at the terminus of each of eight beams cantilevered out from the bedroom to support the upper deck. Artistic and architectural additions are on-going.
