Hi Liveaboards!
I'm a total newbie when it comes to a full-time liveaboard. Naturally, I have a couple of millions of questions to ask. Perhaps, I'll ask a few questions to start with:
I'm from San Diego, CA and love water such as surfing. Oftentimes I fantasize to be near the water all the time. Now that I have $50,000 cash on hand....
1) I wonder if this budget is realistic to buy a boat soley for full-time liveaboard?
2) If yes, which type of boat is ideal to buy that's comfortable for two adults and a large dog?
3) What's the maximum price should I purchase a boat (new or used) and save remaining cash for the rest of all other start up expenses?
4) What's the total average monthly expenses for a full-time liveaboard should I be expecting?
5) Should I take a boating class and/or earn certificate?
Of course I'm skipping many more questions but if you feel other questions should've been asked, let me know!
Happy boating!
