    Some people live on yachts and that’s their entire home. So like a 70,000£ yacht, then like 300£ a month in slip (berth) fees, including electric and whatnot. I strongly considered it. It’s roughly the same cost but better than caravan living, IMO.

    It’s a decent alternative to a landlocked home.

    But yeah, millionaires with yachts are a different thing.

      That’s a good use case. I’d be interested to know more about the idiosyncrasies that come with that lifestyle, like if they go out to sea when a storm is expected, or just weather it out in the harbor.

        They are almost always better in their dock, specifically boats optimised as condos are terrible at sea since open ocean is not in their design brief

        Perhaps they might be better up river as far as they can go
