Utopia Houseboat

The Utopia is a well-appointed and maintained mono-hull cruiser with a comfortable and well planned layout consisting of three separate decks. The lower deck houses four client cabins, the master cabin containing a double bed and en suite ablutions and the remaining three cabins containing twin bunks. There is a separate toilet, shower and basin unit to service the remaining guests. Remaining below deck there is a large salon area that may be used for indoor dining during poor weather or simply relaxing out of the sun.

The split middle deck is the usual dining and living area that offers shade from the Kariba heat while the top deck of the Utopia allows ample space to suntan. There is a fully equipped galley with two large electrically operated freezers for cold space along with free cooler boxes for fishing and game viewing excursions. Utopia tows one speedboat with a 55hp Yamaha outboard motor.
