As the digital space allows more and more people to lead flexible work lives, "offices" such as the Coboat is made possible. Turning the workspace into a unique experience, the Coboat is literally a boat that digital nomads will be able to work off of as they travel around the world.
Founded by international innovators who met on the shores of Thailand, the Coboat takes the form of a 82-foot catamaran boasting solar- and wind-power with a backup generator. It can accommodate 20 participants in addition to the captain, cook, community manager and additional deckhands as needed. Although living on the Coboat doesn't come cheap at nearly $1200 per week, but it does offer full accommodation including meals, high-speed internet as well as the chance to learn and grow in the company of like-minded professionals.
