A seastead is a structure which is safe to live on in international waters, outside the jurisdiction of existing countries. Since the focus is just living on the water, and not getting anywhere quickly, a seastead design can sacrifice speed through the water to achieve lower costs per square foot and greater stability than a boat/yacht/ship of similar price.
There are several different lines of thinking on good strategies to get to real seasteads. The main ones seem to be:
| Why/Strategy | Example | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Single Family Seastead | Tension Circle House | |
| Breakwater Seastead | Tension Circle Marina | |
| Floating City Seastead | Clubstead | |
| Cruise Ship Seastead | Residensea The World | |
| Basestead, Outposts | Basestead Belize | |
| Why Ephemerisle Matters | Ephemerisle |
