On the hook, Dinner Key. The few marinas that allow liveaboards are charging 20 plus a foot.

37' Sea Ray?
Diesel or gasoline?
If gas, don't....

[CarlosY747]

Diesel ones put me over my budget,,,, maybe you guys can help me fig out a alternative place,, like i originally post, i'll be in the boat around 2or3 week after a long period (up to 3 month).

That I don't know, Carlos. Maybe the marina in Government Cut if you're getting a powerboat.

Carlos, Try searching at www.docksearch.com and you'll find some of the best opportuniues. Usually the most competitive prices are in Fort Lauderdale.

Carlos,

I live aboard in South Florida, marinas are pricey but some can be found for around 12 per foot per month. I have a 35' trawler I am thinking of selling, good boat twin diesels, generator air conditioning etc. I am in Ft Lauderdale if you are interested. I used to live aboard near Punta Gorda, Burnt Store Marina. Do not know if they still allow liveaboards but lots of anchorages and small marinas in that area.

Take a look up the Miami River. The dockage can get pretty reasonable the further up you go. I know a fellow who lived behind a house on NW 20 Street near 37th Avenue. I think there are several live aboards along that stretch. I know another couple who live aboard a beautiful old wooden sport fish in the old Bertram Yacht shed. That would be a very secure place to leave your boat when you're not around.

Thanks guys for all the response,, after a extensive reading on this blog, others more, I've has decided to take a step back and rethink what i really want, i already change the search criteria on the couples webs pages i been using and just add "Sailing for Dummies" to my bookshelf. Im sure going to need a lot more advice from you in the future and thank you in advance for that
