Yacht Docking Prices

houseboats!!!?
so 1 of my dreams was to live on a house boat
problem is I have never even been in a boat
and I dont even realy live by much water (except the illinois river)
here are some questions:
are there schools to learn how to drive boats?
or is that something thats just passed down by sailors or self taught?
is there rent on a house boat? (ya im seriously asking that lol)
is it true there is no laws in the middle of the ocean?
are house boats just as expensive as a real house?
whats an average price?
lets say I have a house boat on the ocean
can I just go any where or stop any where to sleep
or do I have to dock at certain times
are yacht’s the technical term for house boat? or are they something completely diffrent
sorry for all the questions
I have no experiance with boats
I just always thought it would be fun living on a house boat
pretty much any info on houseboats or the life style would be cool
Yes there are schools.
You can rent a houseboat, but most are owned by those who live there. You can lease, or buy dock space (it ain’t cheap).
Pretty much true, but you ain’t going there in a houseboat.
Prices range from almost nothing to more than you can afford.
You want a yacht on the ocean. Really can’t stop in the middle of the sea!
Yachts and houseboats are kinda different, kinda the same.
Capt John should be by here in a bit, if not, go to his site and look around. Be careful though, it will put ideas into your head!
