In other words, they are not hurting for funds. [links]
I guess I always knew that some people did this, but I was clueless that many did.
Let me share some of the resources I found that detail these costs (at least in part) and make some comments along the way. [links]
The next video blog is titled Gone with the Wynns. Haha! Big bonus points upfront for a cute title! more
Now that Michelle’s got me watching all these sailing video blogs, I started to wonder about the finances. here
While we made good progress south in the month of March, April took a bit of a strange turn when we realized that our raw water pump was leaking. It was a costly repair, and still without a reliable dinghy and motor we decided it would make much more logistical sense to be in a Marina. more
After spending the equivalent of two months of our budget and then some in January, February's expenses were quite bit more tame. In fact since we had already purchased just about everything we needed to complete our projects we came in just under budget. here
We hope it to gives you some insight into what it costs to live, work and cruise aboard a sailboat.
July was a fun month. After the rush of getting up to the midwest to help move Lauren's family move house, we got a little time to relax and enjoy the best time of year in the midwest.

Ever wondered what it was like to check into a country on a boat? See how the customs process in the Bahamas works here! [links]
We wouldn’t leave our Jetty girl at home for anything but traveling with a dog on a boat does come at a price. You can read all about what is required and our experience traveling with her here. Our total dog expenses were $1,080. This includes Vet visits, health certificates, required vaccinations, and preventive measures (dog food is included in the food category above). [links]
One of our favorite adventures in Grenada included renting a car and slipping, sliding, and jumping our way down waterfalls. Check it out below!
Well, there ya have it! Your question of “how much does it cost to live on a boat?” has been asswered. For 2019 we spent a total of $67,003. That is about $91 per person per day. That number may seem huge but in our case, because we have spent so much time and money upgrading and repairing the boat ourselves we can make some of that back in the long run. Did you find this breakdown helpful?
There’s no doubt that it’s expensive to live on a cruise ship, but there are ways that you can trim that amount. If you’re interested in cutting down the price, here are a few ideas.
Total: Adding up tickets, port fees, taxes, gratuities, and onboard spending, the total estimated cost of living on a cruise ship for a year is $174,791 for a couple — or about $87,000 per person. [links]
At around $14 per person, per day, a couple traveling on a week cruise will pay about $200 in gratuities. Over the course of a year on a cruise ship that amount comes out to more than $10,000. more
With all of these expenses in mind, we dove into what it would cost to live on a cruise ship for an entire year. more
If you want cheaper options, however, you might find them by being more flexible with changing ships and/or cruise lines when you find a deal. That’s where sailing from a port like Miami — which offers a lot of options — can be beneficial to your pocketbook.
And the first question that comes to mind when you think about escaping is how much it would cost to live aboard a cruise ship.
