Hi all.
John here. 26. From St. Louis. Moving to Pensacola for work and planning on buying a sailboat or trawler to liveaboard starting in January 2023. I have been researching this lifestyle for about a year now and still find myself lacking important information. I'm hoping these forums will change that.
Here's some information that I know you'll all ask for before you can begin assisting me:
1) My prospective boat is around 27-30' in length.
2) I will be living aboard completely solo for 1 year.
3) I plan to work remotely from the boat while anchored or docked at a marina (will be needing onboard WiFi).
4) I plan to use the weekends to sail down the coast of Florida and - time and weather permitting - trace the islands and coastline of the Caribbean.
Here are my questions:
1) On average, how much does it cost to dock at a marina for 1 day in Florida?
2) On average, how much does it cost to dock at a marina for 30 days in Florida? (including WiFi, shower facilities, etc.)
3) Is there a website that lists marinas in the Gulf Coast that are liveaboard friendly? (I'm having remarkable trouble with this.)
4) Is there a website for basic equipment that you recommened? (dinghy's, lifejackets, navigation equipment, etc.)
5) Is there a trustworthy website for learning about Caribbean countries' docking laws and policies? (e.g. What should I know about visiting the Bahamas as a liveaboard?)
