Jim Murphy has operated a very successful hire-drive houseboat business on the Murray River in South Australia commencing with one small boat in 1996 and later registering the expanded business as Quality Houseboats in 2000 - after researching likely future demands for houseboat hire.
As a result of his personal research at that time, he saw that there was a niche opportunity for boats with separate ensuite bathrooms for each queen-sized bedroom, not previously available in a fleet of boats.
Since then the Murray Explorer with 5 bedrooms/5 ensuites, Murray Meanderer with 4 bedrooms/4 ensuites and Murray Entertainer with 5 bedrooms/5 ensuites have been built and launched.
He registered these ensuite boats as South Australia's First Houseboat Ensuite Fleet - and in 2015 we are still the only fleet of houseboats in South Australia which can offer each client the privacy and convenience of their own bathroom facilities. No other operator has more than one similar boat.
Quality Houseboats has been acknowledged as setting new standards of accommodation in the hire-drive houseboat industry. We are without a doubt one of the most successful hire-drive operators on the Murray River. We operate with sound and proven business and marketing plans, and believe that if we look after our customers well, they will look after us. We believe in growth through excellent relationships.
Our boats are especially sought after by mature travelers who appreciate the comfort, privacy and convenience of having their own bathroom.
