I agree fuel is the biggest daily cruising cost by far, especially at today's prices. I don't add in restaurant costs because we don't eat out any more often on cruise than we do when at home. We don't frequent expensive marinas but I do add marina costs into total costs. However in total cost of ownership, moorage (home port and out ports), maintenance & repairs, upgrades, insurance and depreciation fuel is a small item. Insurance being the only lesser cost than fuel.
So do you stay at a lot of marinas and restaurants?
On our trips to Alaska and B.C., fuel is our biggest cost. We like anchoring over staying at a marinas. The marinas are also commercial fishing ports and cruise lines.
Nice quiet bays are for us.
