Hi,
Ive read a few threads relating to people / boats roaming around the sunnier parts of the world. Im curious about how this is achievable in the current climate, for the regular Joe?
What got me thinking about this was reading a thread about boat tax and "resetting the clock" by leaving a country for a day or thereabouts and I wondered if something similar was achievable with people/visas?
Lets say I buy a boat and want to spend at least half of my time basking in the sunnier parts of the world, while still owning a house in the UK (possibly renting this out for pocket money).
Forget about the income side of things, and without looking to work in each port, how is this achievable from a visa / visitor perspective?
Reading up on the Schengen side of things, If I play under the tourist visa, I can only visit Schengen countries for 90 days in 180, so where do people go outside of this 90 day window before they can re-enter again for another 90 days?
I guess questions are:
This is for the common man, not for people able to drop 1Million+ into foreign economies etc?
Im not looking to do anything naughty, just looking at the most efficient use of visas, and visa days so as to extend my time in warmer climates, living on a boat but still being able to shelter in harbour as and when the whim takes me.
Thanks

I guess questions are:
- Do EU countries have any issues with people doing 90 days in, 90 days out repeating cycles regularly? If so is this generally bad practice?
- Which countries have a problem, would this be the case for most or just a couple?
- Where do seekers of warmth go when in the 90 days out period?
- Are there any well known ways of reducing the days burned in country such as anchor off-shore by x miles? is this accepted practice?
