A lawyer friend told me that the Coast Guard or any police agency must
obtain a search warrant to search any" enclosed living spaces" aboard
a vessel. Is this true? Thanks,

It is my belief that the Coast guard or any federal agency have complete
access to a documented vessel. On the other hand it is also my belief that
local agencies such as police do not have that right on a documented vessel
without a warrant.
