Living
on a boat is a dream shared by very few people, since the accommodations
are tight, the amenities are few and the comforts of home are lacking,
but it does beat sleeping on the streets.However, if you've
always dreamed of living that boat life then it may surprise you to hear
that you can actually live on a boat without leaving the city- and it
may be cheaper than renting.
But
before you stop homing or apartmenting and start boating you need to
find out a few things, firstly whether you have access to slips or
moorings or both, and whether it's legal to live-aboard in your city.Docks
are expensive but they often have electricity and water hookups, and
access to bathrooms and showers and such, while moorings are cheap but
leave you far from shore.
Once
you figure out the legality and location of your boat life adventure
you have to decide one more thing- whether to rent or buy a boat.There
are many boat owners out there who are willing to rent out their docked
boats to tenants, but your new boat lord may cut your life at sea short
if they choose to evict. On the other hand buying a new floating home
can cost you some serious coin...
