what do you call the main living area on the boat?

[Athy]

Captains Suite?

Yes, he is quite nice.

[nbfiresprite]

Yes, he is quite nice.

Don't you mean she?

[dmr]

From from to back

 

Saloon

kitchen (galley sounds a bit pretentious on a narrowboat)

bathroom (well it does have a hip bath)

dogs bedroom

room with no name

engine room

back cabin.

 

"room with no name" is a bit of a mouthful, should be storeroom but this led to confusion as there is rather a lot of stuff stored n the dogs bedroom!

I call our toillete room the ' $h1t House ', people have different names for the same room.

But not all put it quite so delicately

The Study (will be a large dinette)

The Saloon (as I can't think of a better word)

The En-suite (its almost in the bedroom)

<american accent> Does your boat not have a John on board ?

[Emerald Fox]

Cratch.

Bedroom (because it has a bed in it!)

Bathroom (sounds much better than 'bog' - and there's a shower in there also) (and an influence from the USA mixed in) (Luray, Virginia)

Kitchen

Tail.

 

or, in Finnish:

 

Nokka ('beak'/nose)

Makuuhuone (bedroom)

Vessa (= WC prounced 'vay-say' but vessa is quicker to say, or 'veskis' to be politer)

Keittiö (kitchen)

Häntä (tail)

[Theo]

On the youtube videos of boats for sale they refer to it as the ' Saloon '

 

 

I call our toillete room the ' $h1t House ', people have different names for the same room.

My grandmother called it the "small retiring room"!
