Straightforward trope — the hero is that much cooler because he not only has a Cool Boat, he actually lives on it (in theory, the hero could live on an uncool houseboat, except that houseboats are almost always inherently cool), making it, at the same time, a Cool House. This may be symbolic of the hero's cool detachment from things (or his being Allergic to Routine), since he could (in theory at least) just raise anchor and move his whole life away whenever he wishes. Doesn't apply to people who live on a boat which serves as the home base for dozens or hundreds of occupants, or to those who just work on a boat owned by someone else, even if that's where they spend their nights (in a navy, as a pirate, on a cruise ship). In Real Life, houseboats are typically mobile homes on pontoons or barges, and are as close to Cool Boat as The Alleged Car is to Cool Car. Some works with Loser Protagonists will have the hero live on such a houseboat to highlight their lack of social skills. |

Suikoden V has the Oboro Detective Agency, whose members live together on a small boat as both coworkers and surrogate family. This lets them pick up and go whenever they want; if the player isn't careful, this can lead to them being lost forever, courtesy of them leaving before the Prince can convince them to join his cause. | |

Travis McGee: The title character from the novels by John D. MacDonald lives on a houseboat called The Busted Flush (he won it in a poker game), parked in Slip F-18, Bahia Mar Marina, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The marina is real (although there hasn't been a Slip F-18 since their last renovation), and maintains a plaque dedicated to the hero and his chronicler. | |

On Haven, Duke lives in a barge he won in a poker game when he was younger. It's a cargo boat, but at least part of it has been converted into living quarters. In a subversion of the trope, he's on the other side of the law: he's a Venturous Smuggler, who works with the local Haven detectives only reluctantly. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: Marinette's classmate Juleka lives on a houseboat with her mother Anarka and brother Luka. Anarka fancies herself a modern-day pirate who lives by very few rules (and fails to get the proper permits for mooring her home). She once worked with rock star Jagged Stone who is also the father of her children and considers his life on tour to be too erratic, so the houseboat seems to be a compromise. Luka is cool and somewhat aloof, while also sincere enough to become Marinette's Romantic False Lead. Juleka, meanwhile, fits the socially awkward variant; she's shy and has trouble making friendships. | |

Donald Duck: "Hero" is questionable, but in The Little Wise Hen, the very first Donald Duck shorts, he lived on a houseboat. Fittingly, since he was more of an actual duck back then, so you'd think he'd live close to water. His house at the Disney Theme Parks is a boat, called the Miss Daisy, which was carried over into the Mickey Mouse Works shorts. In DuckTales (2017), Donald and his nephews are living in an old boat. By the end of the pilot, it relocates to Scrooge McDuck's swimming pool after it catches fire due to the nephews trying to hotwire it. |

Bobby from Cougartown lives on a boat. A boat that never leaves the parking lot. In the second season, Jules and the others move it to the marina to surprise Bobby. It promptly sinks. They do fish it back out, leaving Bobby back where he started. At the end of the season, Bobby [[spoiler:moves into an apartment and leaves the houseboat to a depressed Travis. In the third season, Travis moves to a dorm and Bobby is back on the boat.] | |

BattleTech: Mercenary outfits often live in their dropships, which is basically the 31st/32nd Century equivalent of living in a boat. Few merc groups have permanent landholds, and they have to move around a lot between contracts, so there's little incentive for them to actually buy a home on a planet that they'll be leaving in a few months and probably won't return to. | |

A pretty popular Archie story involves one. Archie and Betty find a girl in a swamp, and take her to their friend, an old captain living in a houseboat. The girl is revealed to be an heiress, but her uncle is trying to kill her. Archie and his friends set a trap for him, luring him to the boat, planning on jumping him when he opens the door. However, the uncle decides instead to cut the lines, sending them down toward the Inevitable Waterfall. Of course, the gang had planned for this, and there was a cable that kept the boat from drifting too far down. Makes you wonder why the captain lived so close to a waterfall... | |

Muddy River: One of the more depressing examples of this trope. Shoko is a widow who has turned to prostitution after her husband, who used to work the houseboat, drowned in the river. The family is living in poverty and the houseboat is old and while seaworthy doesn't look like it's in a great state of repair. Shoko's daughter Ginko talks about how they have to lean over the side of the boat to pee, while her son Kiichi wishes that they could live in a real house. | |

Burn Notice: Sam and Fiona were nearly caught snooping around on the boat belonging to the week's villains. This one's a two-fer, actually, since... ... the villains were a couple running various financial scams while living out of the boat precisely so they could take off on a moment's notice, and... ... when they were about to be caught by the villains, Sam pretended to be a guy claiming he lived on the boat in order to score with Fiona. |

Quincy, M.E. lived on a boat, until the episode "Quincy's Wedding, Part 2" when he arranged to sell it, because his fiancee and soon-to-be-wife Emily didn't want to live on it. | |

Assassin's Creed plays with this trope in games that feature/revolve around sailing: In Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Edward makes the Jackdaw his base of operation at least until he takes the island of Great Inagua under his control from an Templar agent. Assassin's Creed Rogue averts this: while Shay uses the Morrigan much like Edward, he also gains a mansion residence in New York immediately after joining the Templars. Played straight in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey where the Misthios make their ship the Adrestia as their residence after leaving their childhood home in Kephallonia. |

The protagonist CDR Mike Montgomery in the novel Scorpion in the Sea. When he isn’t on the US Navy destroyer he is the captain of. The author of that book prefers this trope. The protagonist Jim Hall in another novel Darkside also lives on a houseboat. | |

On the Animal Planet show Pit Boss, main character Shorty lives on a boat. With pit bulls. It's a reality/documentary thing about a group that rescues abandoned pit bulls, so he fits the "heroic" requirement too. | |
