Hello. Interested in trying out a live aboard lifestyle prior to buying my own boat.
Renting for a couple of years or more would allow me to see if I could make such a life work &discover the realities!
I would like a 30ft-45ft sailboat, something like a Nauticat would be perfect, but happy to try any.
I am fit, well and have a healthy budget available, for the right boat/owner relationship.
I intend to gain my RSAOcean Yachtmaster quals prior to living aboard so that I am fully prepared.
I will mostly be island hopping around the UK, Europe & Med. Excellent references, deposit plus first month rent upfront & mooring preferred on South Coast but I can organise this myself if that helps.
No rush, as flexible with timings & prefer to wait for the mutually ‘right’ situation to arrive!
Please email Maxlcjames@icloud.com if you have a boat that may be what I am looking for!
