I just read your post and love the details on living on a sail boat. My wife and I live in Florida but want to relocate to San Diego when I retire in 9 yrs. we went sailing and absolutely loved it and want to purchase our own sail boat and live in it. Just the idea of the afordability compared to the housing market makes it very attractive. The idea of living on a sail boat is very appealing to us. Our issue we have know knowledge of sailing nor how to put our plan in motion. Any insite would be great.
Be sure to plan way ahead and check with all of the marinas/yacht clubs you might be interested in–in fact, visit them if you can. In San Diego, most have waiting lists, and can be expensive, so research is key.
As long-time residents of San Diego, we prefer keeping our home, with our boats at a club, but that’s just us. Living exclusively on a boat works out very well for many people.
Here’s an article I’ve sent friends who are considering living on a boat in San Diego that you might find interesting:
