Savannah Liveaboard

[dearmstr]

we are in the process of looking for a liveaboard in savannah. Are there any other liveaboards here?

You may want to change your plans. I believe the state or Georgia prohibits live aboards. Could be wrong, but that was my understanding when I looked into it a couple years ago.

I think they've softened their stance lately but you are right Georgia has some strict rules re living aboard.

Not only that, but not sure of many marinas in Savannah.

I would suggest you contact "isle of hope" Marina. 15 minute drive from downtown savannah and right on icw.

Thank you for your reply. Isle of Hope is where we are planning to live. What I was looking for was to talk to people already living aboard in Savannah. I guess I was not clear on what I was looking for.

I didn't know that, I know there are a great many houseboats with people living on them, I guess illegally?

The liveaboard laws were changed a year or two ago and now liveaboard is allowed in Georgia. That is when we decided to take advantage of the change and make the move.
