Live aboard marina. What is it like?

[NavyTurtle]

Hey everyone,
So I’ll be leaving for the navy soon and I’m trying to save as much money as I can.

Right now my current plan is to buy a 25-40 boat that has the bare necessities for me. A bed, a closet, a toilet, and a small area to prep and store food.

By doing this, in the long run I’m hoping it’ll be cheaper than getting an apartment or house. With the left over money I’ll be saving/investing it until the day comes I can pull the trigger and buy my big boat and sail around the globe, or the bay. Baby steps.

But my question is, how much does it cost to do this and what is it like? I’ve seen various numbers thrown around but I want to hear for real experience.

Thank you!
