Lots of liveaboards depart from their grim north European homelands to seek the sun and adventures. It seems that its getting difficult in the uk. But many nationss welcome the sea gypsies despite visa and time restricted regulations. Those currently cruising will know about this, 90 days in many places is a typical limit.
So this thread is most certainly not for the politics, but about places where real people live on their yachts hassle free plus any tips on visa extensions, etc.
I can start with mainland Spain. Lots of marinas have people living on their yachts. Here are some that I have either stayed in myself or know firsthand of people that do.
Ayamonte, Rota, barbatte, la linea, estepona, Puerto Banus, Benelmadena, St. Carles, plus, of course, Gibraltar although berthing there is getting very tight. Across the Straits there is a welcome in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
My request is that people can feel free to add to this beginners guide, if it turns out to be popular, I can certainly add plenty of others around the Atlantic and beyond!
Thanks all.
