Keeping Afloat with the Joneses
Keeping Afloat with the Joneses
Brandon, Sarah, & Iko (🐕) here! 👋 Join us each week on our FLOATING tiny house in the Smoky Mtns! You can expect renovations, lifestyle vlogs, & how-to’s for living comfortably off the grid & on the water!
Our floating cabin adventures began when we bought a dilapidated houseboat sight-unseen in 2021, fully renovated it, & became full time liveaboards for the following 2 years. We then used what we learned from our first home to build ourselves a brand new floating house in Spring of 2023. In the meantime, as our day jobs allow, we've been flipping other floating homes here on Lake Fontana & sharing the journey!
There are many joys and challenges of living full-time on a "boat", and we are always learning as we go. We hope to share our adventures with those who enjoy (or desire to enjoy) a slower pace of life, one in tune with nature. 🌊
You can find us on Instagram & TikTok too. Check us out on those platforms for more frequent content of what we're up to between weekly vlogs!

Great video! The porters are awesome to share their home on the water with us. Love half pint❤
What an awesome adventure this was. Everyone needs a Norman in their lives. Thanks Sarah.
What a great video Sarah. I loved touring all of the boats. It was so much fun seeing all of their tiny setups and the different choices they all made to suit their needs.
I’ve been following this journey since you were in the surf shack and let me just say, this was such a beautiful renovation!!! I absolutely loved it and I know the new owners are very fortunate!
Such a great episode 😍Loved seeing the boat layouts and people enjoying life!
Awww maaaaaaan!!! this was one of my fav episodes, finding out about Adventure boats🤯🤯🤯🤯 I just ❤❤❤ them. Norman is my kinda human luv him, don't even know him. Thank you Sarah for share us with these awesome people. And what an Adventure did Brandon have, Mix/Match 😂😮 I tell you what I just want one now amazing craft. Till next time 👋🏾 take care
Mr. Norman was a hoot 😂😀 cool video 📸
All the nice boats an what lovely people to let in film them. Great video.
I agree with Brandon! At our house, we can say "There is no fungus among us!!"
That outtro was awesome!!! 👏👏👏
Norman is Brandon's future.
😂🙌 everything I could hope for and more
Every week i look forward to your vlog! The houseboats are soo cute and so are their owners 😊. And so are you guys!! ❤
Great Episode! All the AC boats were great - my vote goes to 'Half Pint', really fun and festive looking!
Loved all of this. I'm still smiling 😊
we didnt lose. we withdrew to fight the french in the north. you;re welcome ;-)
A sweet glimpse into the lives of folk, and celebrations for the 4th. Well done Sarah, much love from Australia 😊 The mushroom is nothing we see here.
By far my favorite episode yet, loved it.
AMERICA!!!!!! That was fun. Thank you for sharing this. This is like coming home to my folks. I like Brandon's food dance when you cook him something he really likes. Sarah, Grits, cheddar cheese and bacon will get him dancin, might even pluck a tune on his banjo.
Wow I really love those Adventures Craft boats. Way to cool. It would have been really nice in Michigan when I lived there. We'd fish the Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron on a 25 ft pontoon. ❤
PS. I have been living on the ocean for 51 yrs
Dam, you kids are so cool!!!!!!❤ Just a old Red neck from Pender Harbour BC 🇨🇦☮️👍😎
I love looking into people's houses when riding around as the sun sets.. thanks for letting us look in from the outside.
What cute boats. Loved their parade at the end. Matt Roberts, the Half Pint boat captain and sign painter, said he also did boat signs for Darryl and Larry. Where’s the other Darryl and his boat? IYKYK.
i am on a quest to get amerians to stop saying "hot water heater'?+ Larry will you take the plunge?
What fun! Cutest little houseboats ever! 🙂
Dang! I found myself waving at those Adventure boats as they went by, even though I'm sitting here in my living room watching on youtube. LOL!! What a great family of boating folk!
❤ those tacos!
yall should name your dingy ,"Ding boat"
Glad y'all had a good 4th! God bless America!
Those Adventure Craft boats are so awesome! Thanks for sharing this unique group of folks and their cool boats!
How much do these Adventure Craft run w average equipment?
What awesome boats!! I want one. Looks so fun! Sarah, I love your plates❤ would you share where you got them/brand?
All is awesome
That was so fun seeing all their boats and how they set them up! I couldn't stop smiling! Thank you for a taste of Independence Day on Lake Fontana!!
Nice! Yall keep me a’float on Fridays! Cheers!
Wow, those boats were awesome! Thanks for the introductions and the tours. That Norman is a character! Poor Brandon…hope they got the rentals all figured out. Those tacos looked delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of those mushrooms, but they look tasty. Thanks for another fun video. Take care, and we’ll see y’all next week!
Loved the music on this one.
That would be so much fun 😊.
Your video captures the essence of adventure and celebration on Lake Fontana for the 4th of July. The joyous gathering and scenic beauty create a memorable and patriotic experience, making it a delightful watch for all. And I am Floating Village Life
Oh I love being one of the first to see the new episode!
Let’s go!!!
This solar installation was hard to watch. A little bit of rope would have gone a long way for both up and down.
