One buy to let only - not allowed?

Options
I have one property at the moment which is let out but the mortgage company is telling me I can't convert it to a buy to let mortgage because I don't own another property which I occupy.

The reason I don't is that I lodge with a mate and am actually thinking of buying a boat to live on. However, I would like to keep my property as an investment and happy to pay the buy to let fees.

Is there any way around this does anyone know?
