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 or carrying lots of cargo, a seastead design can sacrifice speed through the water and cargo capacity 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 |
