How much would a live-aboard boat cost?

Weefy12

I'm 22 years old and moving out of my parents' house soon, and I thought instead of buying/renting an apartment, to buy a boat I could live on (Not sure if it's possible to rent. If it is, then that's a possible option). I'd probably want to live-aboard for about 3-5 years. I'd want the boat to be capable of cruising on the ocean coast. Also, I'd want it to be able to sail to Catalina Island in California from Los Angeles; that's about as far as I'd want to sail out. I'm going to be the only one living aboard. Any price ranges or any other tips would be helpful.

Answer
Here in California, to do a full time live-aboard, you'll be paying an additional fee for the privilege. I would advise you to have at least 30'+. I own a 60' motor yacht and it's very expensive. Most CA marinas have limited "Full Time" live aboard slips due to the requirements for water/sewer hookups as required by Environmental Laws. The live-aboard additional cost is an additional $250 on top of the regular fees. There are special rules that you must adhere to also. Finding a "Rental" isn't likely. I don't live onboard my yacht full time, but spend more time there than my land-based home. I'd recommend a sailboat instead of a power boat. Maintenance will be lighter and costs less than a power boat. Find something with a decent galley that you can work with, a good bath room with running water, and a sleeping area that fits you. Taller people have the hardest time with this. Like John said, it's the heat coming into the craft that becomes intolerable, not the cold.

I've traveled to Mexico with my smaller 26' Express Cruiser, and this summer will be traveling with my motor yacht to Alaska.

A few safety items that you need to have is a carbon monoxide detector, at least 3 fire extinguishers, and a VHF radio for offshore communications. It's also nice to have a AC/DC TV to watch and an AM/FM/CD radio too.

Remember, you won't have much storage space! So you won't have a lot of clothing and shoes. You'll never have much more than 3 days of food on board on average. You'll need bottled water in one gallon size bottles stored onboard.

I've enjoyed my 26', but I love having more of a home with my 60' yacht. With that I'm fully self sufficient. I grocery shop once a week for the yacht.
