Offshore is a 1979 novel by British writer Penelope Fitzgerald. It was the recipient of the 1979 Booker Prize. The book explores the emotional restlessness of houseboat dwellers who live neither fully on the water nor fully on the land. It was inspired by the most difficult years of Fitzgerald's own life, years during which she lived on an old Thames sailing barge moored at Battersea Reach.
