Re: How Much to Liveaboard?

Yes, cruising New England is great and not so expensive if you anchor out, which as you are finding is not difficult. A few harbors are almost saturated with mooring leaving little space to anchor...

Re: How much to liveaboard?

Especially not when the yankees see us Florida boys coming. I'm sure they raise the rates for the tourists, just like we do down here. :D

Re: How much to liveaboard?

Well I was mostly reporting (complaining?) about the high costs in some areas like New England. You can include south Florida and south California to that list.

Re: How much to liveaboard?

I would hate to give up a CSY 44. That was on my short list of boats to buy when I bought the Pearson. Huge room for liveaboard, built like a tank, low maintenance design and all glass, no wood...

Re: How much to liveaboard?

Agree. I seldom go to a marina unless I need fuel, water or for pumping the holding tanks. Have to say though, it is a bit of a pain when you're working every day.

Re: How much to liveaboard?

Well, until the economy crashed, marinas in New England stayed pretty full and his rates were pretty much in line or even below other marinas New England. And to be fair, the boating industry in...

Re: How much to liveaboard?

Well it was actually $125/night and that's exactly what I said to the owner when he told me the price. I traveled to the area a lot as that was the home base for the company I...

Re: How much to liveaboard?

Welcome and enjoy.

By the way, another big impact on liveaboard costs, especially for marinas and boatyards is location.

Examples. I purchased my boat in NY and on Long Island paid almost...
