This is a must have for anyone thinking about living aboard a boat. Extremely well written -- and will save you $$$$. Read before you buy or even think about living aboard.

This book is a terrific find. I'm still unsure if I will take the plunge and live aboard, but whatever decision I make it will be far more informed than it would have been without reading this book. The author goes over every aspect of preparing to live aboard in great detail. If you are considering living aboard, or you already have decided to, you should definitely pick up a copy of this book.
If you're looking to live aboard a boat, or are slightly interested in people that do, then this is the book to read! July 19, 2007

My wife and I have held the romantic notion of living aboard a boat for many years, even before we met. Shortly into beginning the process we came across Nicholas' book. And we are glad we did early on! It has saved us plenty of time...and money. Not only is it informative, covering A to Z, but it is entertaining and a very good read! He lays it out there, giving the reader the in and outs of what it is really like to live aboard a boat, and how to turn your dream into a reality!

This book is about living aboard a boat in a marina. A life style many
may choose. I thought is was a good read.
