We live and cruise on a 12m sailboat.
Annually (last year):
Boat maintenance/upgrades €2547, Food €2333, Marina fees (mostly in winter) €1335, Fuel €900, Cruising fees €664, Shorepower €350, Entertainment €240, theoldreader.com subscription €17.
Details vary a lot depending on where we are every year and what exactly breaks on the boat or gets upgraded. That year we anchored in Greece for the summer and spent winter in a Sicilian marina with a good discount.
- jimmyed 5y agoStarlink is made for ye!
- JustFinishedBSG 5y agoActually not at all, you have to be stationary for Starlink
- bbojan 5y agoDue to temporary limitations as the constellation is still incomplete. Otherwise, it will be perfect for boats.
- bergie 5y agoThey'll also have to fix power consumption. Now the antenna uses 3-4X the daily power consumption of _everything_ on my cruising boat.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoI don’t think power consumption on Dishy is coming down considering it’s throwing bits to low earth orbits constantly with microwaves. I have enough solar and batteries on my boat to continually power the ground station, but if I didn’t I’d operate it only when actively using the Internet.
- gt565k 5y agoGod I'd love to live on a boat and code remotely. I watched the sv delos video and was like... how do I make this my life? https://svdelos.com/ https://svdelos.com/
- toomuchtodo 5y agoAlso how I started! I highly recommend Sailing Zatara and Gone with the Wynns as well.

- snypher 5y agoThere are a lot of people who live aboard a boat but don't travel too far, or only move a few times a year.
