Reality of Selling up and Living Aboard as a Family

[Wansworth]

There is lots to be wary of. Perhaps start with buying a boat (not always a good thing in the first place) and sailing it for a season, coastal cruising, long weekends, holidays learning as you go and then see how you all feel I twelve months time. Good luck in whatever you choose.

And there is taking responsibility !

That was Portimao, 2021-22

2024 prices here - https://marinadeportimao.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/TARIFARIO-2024-Marina-de-Portimao.pdf

My boat in high season last year €46.95/night and 45ft that OP likes would be €63.90/night, both plus 23% VAT. I would guess UK south coast marinas would be similar prices, if not dearer.

Well, some three days later there is no sign the OP has been back since asking his question (which was his first ever post).

That's a shame, as unless and until he reappears we have no way of thanking him for the opportunity to get our related experiences and prejudices off our chests.

Maybe the reality was too much shattered his dream
