The Designers

Visionary Design
by Eric Brown & Rachelle Ruby

Everwelle is the work of Eric Brown and Rachelle Ruby—two people whose lives have never fit neatly into a single profession. Eric brings experience as an author, coach, real estate professional, and dedicated boater, while Rachelle brings an advocate’s discernment and the intuitive care of a coach and healer. Together, they create bespoke floating sanctuaries shaped around how each owner genuinely wants to live.

    Available for all build paths. Make it unmistakably yours.

    Your Everwelle can be shaped with thoughtfully selected enhancements that support the way you want to live—whether that means greater independence, restorative comfort, or an interior that feels entirely personal.

     

     Explore possibilities such as:  

    • Restorative living — an aft-deck soaking tub, wood stove, and considered comfort systems

    • Off-grid freedom — rooftop solar, battery and inverter systems, and auxiliary power

    • Bespoke interiors — custom cabinetry, built-in storage, fixtures, surfaces, and soft finishes

    • A timeless galley — personalized materials, lighting, hardware, and thoughtful details

     

    Enhancement availability will depend on your chosen build path, final design, and technical requirements.
