Want To Live Full-Time in A Marina? A Beginner's Checklist To Finding The Right One

Want To Live Full-Time in A Marina? A Beginner’s Checklist To Finding The Right One

Want to live in a marina full-time?

It’s easy to poeticize the idea of living afloat on your sailboat full-time. But, what you should know, is that living on a boat full-time is a conscious choice to live an alternative type of life. It can take months, or even years, to plan, prepare and organize a full-time move on board.

With that in mind, when you commit to a liveaboard lifestyle, it is vital…

"Derjenige, der nicht segelt, bis alle Gefahren vorbei sind, darf niemals in See stechen." Thomas Fuller. So geben wir unsere Grundrechte ab, Ich hoffe das führt uns nicht ins Grab. So eine Regierung hat viel Macht, Wer hätte das vor paar Wochen gedacht? Wir wollen alle irgendwie überleben, Außer Corona scheints wenig zu geben. Täglich feile ich an meinen Boot, Gegen mein Wohnort gibts ein Gebot. Wobei ich da einhand mega isoliert bin. Doch für irgendjemand haut das nicht hin. Bürokratie ist irgendwie echt besc........ So bin ich in der Sache aufgeschmissen. Na ja singe ich mehr in Moll als in Dur. Zumindest bleibt meine vertraute Natur, Die sich momentan von Konsum erholt, Fix hab ich meine Hängematte rausgeholt. #Lübeck #corona #livaboard #sailing #ostsee #sammysummer #kievit #leisure17 #funny #joke #survival #music #guitar #ukulele https://www.instagram.com/p/B99ZozXKy4a/?igshid=pxc0c29bulj4

Full speed ahead. No more dripping around.

I saw Harry whilst in MK. Oh sweet handsome Harry. He's lost weight and looked pale, needs to get some sun on that beautiful face. Still covered in oil though, v sexy.

Au revoir MK. Never say never, but.

Passing through the splintered estates I wouldn't believe just how many craft were moored up. Same old boats, same old spots, why buy a boat if you're never gonna move it? And I hear on the boaters hotline that livaboards are up in arms because CRT are proposing 48 hr only visitor moorings from The Galleon to Fenny because there is no space for hire boats to stop which is just rubbish because there is space a plenty for all. The trouble is when lockdown restrictions were lifted none of the continuous cruisers moved creating little camps of boats all the way through MK and now CRT have got pissed off and are enforcing the law. It's the skanky boaters faults, should've moved, selfish twats fucking it up for everyone.

Matthias is a livaboard on his canal boat, The Sandpiper and is content with staying in the small village on the canal where his boat is moored. One morning, he wakes up to find that a new boat has moored next to him, Skidbladnir. The boat is just as beautiful as it's owner, Lukas, a traveller who doesn't like to stay in the same spot for too long. Lukas is only planning to stay moored for 3 months and no more, but as Matthias ends up falling for his new neighbour he's determined to change that.

Finding a Budget liveaboard on the Red Sea

The Red Sea is considered to offer the best diving in Egypt and the best way to explore it is via a Budget liveaboard on the Red sea. Why pay more when you can get good quality coupled with affordability?

Recently, Egypt was declared as a top 10 diving destination in the world by Dive travel – and for the right reasons!  Where else can you get a great liveaboard for under 800 Euros for a full week of diving – compared to other diving destinations, linerboards in Egypt are well within the budget of most ardent dive travellers.

The first step is to plan your trip and find a quality liveaboard that does not cost an arm and a leg but gives you very comfortable and safety oriented diving at value for money prices.  Diving from Hurghada on a budget liveaboard allows you to visit all the sites in the Red Sea – be it the northern wrecks, central routes like Brother, Dadelus and Elphinstone as well as the southern routes visiting St. Johns or Fury shoals.  Enjoy shark encounters, dolphin encounters and  other large pelagic life, fantastic variety of  coral at Jackson’s reef, the swimthroughs of St. Johns, the wall drifts at Elphinstone  or one of the best wrecks in the world – Thistlegorm,  there is something for everyone at a budget price.

With our budget liveaboard Enigma (part of www.red-sea-relax.com)  and based in Hurghada  we do 7 days trips to cover all the best dive sites in our itinerary. And to experience the best diving possible we’re very flexible and time our dives with the tides. Some dive sites are better in rising tide and some are better in falling tide. We try to take this in consideration when we plan our dives.

Liveaboard Diving in Egypt suits everybody but we do recommend to that you do your refresher course before coming and have at least 50 logged dives.

Airport transfers, 7 nights on a well designed liveaboard, 5 meals a day and upto 4 dives on a day makes a Red Sea Livaboard one of the best deals that you can lay your hands on.

Now with the Hurghada  to Sharm El Sheikh car and passenger ferry in action, you can experience the best of both worlds – a budget liveaboard followed by a few days of rest and relaxation in the most chilled out town in Egypt – Dahab. Our Resort – Red Sea Relax is right in the heart of Dahab on the waterfront with a house reef metres away from the shore and onsite facilities like a swimming pool, restaurant, bar and PADI dive center on premises – whether you want to Scuba dive, free dive or improve your diving skills by doing a PADI dive course, we have you covered.

Cave in, get hammered or get wrecked – you get the drift!

If you need more information about our budget liveaboard on the red sea, or our red sea resort go to www.red-sea-relax.com and don’t hesitate to contact us for the best discounts and deals.

Do you have any advice on buying narrow boats as a livaboard? I want to move out of my parents house, but dont want to rent. My current job (stonemason apprentice) cant pay for it right now, but when I qualify I should be able to afford around £400 a month on repayments! Any advice

Honestly no clue! Do any followers know? I can’t imagine living on a boat! Be safe!-- Mimi
