Tugs For Sale

Ocean Marine lists tugs available for live-aboard conversion, offering former working tugs with the space and structural character ideal for full-time liveaboard use. Classic tugs make popular liveaboard vessels due to their solid construction, distinct character, and ample below-deck space for accommodation.

Former harbor tugs and river push boats often feature heavily built steel hulls, large engine rooms that can be converted to generous living spaces, and a unique aesthetic that attracts buyers seeking an alternative to conventional liveaboard boats. The industrial charm of a converted tug is a major draw for the liveaboard community, particularly in waterfront cities with marina liveaboard communities.

Successful tug conversions typically require significant investment in domestic systems including freshwater plumbing, electrical systems, insulation, HVAC, and interior fit-out. Our team has experience connecting buyers with suitable tug candidates and can advise on what to look for in a conversion project.
