Same reason people buy motorhomes - this just moves on water. It’s like a second home you can go to on holidays. Our first one was just a small fibreglass hulled boat for day trips but every subsequent one after that has been bigger than the previous. The current one is 11 meters long steel boat that weighs over 10000kg and has most modern comforts you’d find on a house or summer cabin: heating, running water, indoor toilet, sauna, solar panels, full kitchen and so on.
Why do you have a boat?
I don’t. It belongs to my parents. They have two and this is the tender we tow behind the bigger one.
Why do your parents own a boat (or two boats)? I just don’t know anyone who owns a boat and I’m wondering why people decide they need one.

Finland is knows to be the land of a thousand lakes… Owning a boat there would be highly appropriate if you ask me
