This was a thought that just brushed on my mind,
What kind of size would be suitable for a livaboard boat? that would be
in the sea. I quite fancy the idea of going from port to port. What kind
of budget/ size of boat would I need to be looking for?


We met a couple earlier this year who had sailed around the world on a
35 ft sailboat and they were still living aboard when we met them.
That's about the minimum in my opinion. Many, if not most, will want
something larger. The 40 to 50 ft range is very popular with
liveaboard cruisers. Powerboats (trawlers) have about twice the
usable living space as a comparable length sail boat, but have much
higher operating costs.
