Did no one tell you about the water front commission, they allow only a certain number of live aboards per each marina for environmental reasons and the wait list for a live aboard slip is years long. I live on my 30’ Ericson in Berkeley, in California slip fees average about $10 a foot without live aboard , that adds another $200 per month. 🤙🤙🤙🐮☮️
You didn't tell everybody about The three year waiting list.Guess what as soon as you buy the boat you have to move it out of the slip😮 And that's pretty much all of CA.😢
Wow, that's a pretty good slip fee compared to what I'm looking at here. Of course that is California, and the beautiful ocean, too. I'm considering a place on the huge and gorgeous Kentucky Lake, or it's sister lake, Lake Barkley, here in Kentucky. Both are connected via canal, and aren't landlocked, having access to the Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland rivers, and therefore access to the 'Great Loop.' I priced slips last year and I saw one (70 foot) at a marina I liked for ~$700/ month. That included utilities, Wi-Fi, and 1 pump-out per week. Some of the homes on the lakes that I priced were stunning! Most had private boat docks, just for smaller boats of course, and some amazing homes were well under $1 million. I saw a few that had already sold (of course) for much less than $1 million.
$2,500 per month? I bough a 10 acre _mini-farm_ with a 3-bedroom, nice little farmhouse, a large barn and very large, well-stocked pond for $41,000. *lol* That was in 1989, however. I still own the place and have it rented for just $700/month. I could probably get $1,500/month, but I have fantastic renters that, for some reason like to pay the rent early and do repairs themselves. They do realize they're getting a heck of a deal though, especially now. It's a long story, but I'm temporarily living in an apartment that's in a mutual ownership community. It's actually my brother and sister-in-law's place. It's not luxurious, and just 2 bedrooms, but it's clean and well maintained, and I pay $427/month, and that's with all utilities included. That includes having to pay an extra $75/month as a "live-in" (sub-letter). That also includes a $2 fee for paying with a card or check online. The rent would normally be just $350/month if it was in my name. It's also in a very clean, low crime, middle class area in the suburbs. My next home will be floating, and will definitely be more expensive than what I'm use to. :-)
Had some friends who moved to Spain. Not the same obviously but similar lifestyle. He is Belgian and she is Polish. They came back to the States for lack of job opportunity. If you don't need to work however.....
Funny enough I think I know who you are talking about when you say house boat 48. I just got my 47 trawler in a slip on E1000 dock. Anyway, if you're around let me know I don't live on it as I moved out of California for a lot of reason, but come almost every weekend.
Are you sure it's 50% more? On Marina Del Rey's website it says: "Liveaboard fees are 50% of the basic slip rate." So then is that a lie? If not that would mean he has a huuge boat
