Maybe $18/foot per month. Plus electricity and liveaboard fees (hundred bucks or so a month). It's not cheap living on a boat around these parts.

Huntington Harbor you need a hinged mast...bridge!

i jsut ringed a bunch of marinas down there, $18/ft is the cheapest, normal was betwee 23-25, when about 300-400 for liveaboard. ouch

A 40 ft slip in Long Beach Shoreline, max 44' 11"... 800+ mo, liveaboard(190 liveaboard fee)
You will pay quite a bit more in Newport plus not much wind.

Put it in perspective.

How much would a bedsit cost you in SoCal per month? For my 2 cents, I'd say $400pm is a nice figure for having a roof over your head, electricity supplied and security.

Someone mentioned that my local marina was excessive as it charged £305 per meter per year but for an 8 meter sailboat, that's only about £200 a month. A bedsit here would cost between £250 and £350 per month!

Not to mention that if you wanted to go on vacation, you can just release the lines and off you go! In a bedsit you would need flights, hotel etc

I had to search for the meaning of "bedsit". Here, we would refer to that as an efficiency apartment. Location makes a big difference throughout the US and even can differ greatly within a county. In North Florida we are paying $8.30/foot/month which comes to about half the cost of an efficiency with a 8 meter boat. We're also subject to a "liveaboard fee" called a "full time use fee" that bings the cost of our 41' boat up to $500/month and still less than an efficiency rental. Those areas with higher or lower slip rates have a comparable change in the cost of the bedsit.

I left Newport Beach when $28 was the new "normal". Of course head to NYC if you REALLY enjoy sand in your lube @ $100 a foot.

But the best deal in CA, and possibly anywhere??

Downtown San Diego and The Laurel Street Med Moorings (under 35') $147.57

Paying $14.40 for my 29' overall boat in Oceanside, CA. No additional charges for electricity, etc but it's not a liveaboard slip. Additional cost for live aboard.

$28/ft for choice Marina Del Rey 45' slip, includes power.

[Diesel Bill]

$800.00 and change for a 45 foot slip in San Pedro, Ca. Electricity is extra charge.
Live aboard is about $300. more.

Dana Point is preparing to redo the whole marina. They are planning to eliminate all small slips under 31 feet. Those smaller boats will be in “dry stack”. A lot of the existing buildings along the edge of the Marina will be replaced with larger - taller new buildings

Ugh. Hate to hear that. Is this another nail in the coffin of middle class sailing?
