Live Aboard Boats for Sale by their Owners

In collating this listing of live aboard boats for sale, we've taken the view that living aboard a sailboat smaller than 32 feet is unlikely to provide her occupant(s) with a high degree of comfort - nor would a stripped-out, light-displacement racer of any length. 

Live Aboard Boats for Sale by Length Overall

• Under 40 feet
• 40 to 50 feet
• Over 50 feet

And what qualifies a boat as suitable for living aboard is very much a personal view.

For example, some liveaboard sailors - happy to rely on a diesel generator - will tell you that they couldn't possibly manage without a flat screen TV and a plumbed-in washing machine, whilst others - more reasonably in my view - consider self-sufficiency in terms of drinking water (through rain water collection and/or a reverse osmosis water maker) and green electrical power (from a wind turbine and/or solar panels) to be primary requirements. 

All the boats below are offered for sale by their owners, many of which live aboard their boats for considerable periods at a time.

Live-Aboard Sailboats under 40 feet

Single-handers, provided they're content with a fairly spartan standard of living, will tell you that a thirty-two-footer is ideal for living aboard. A cruising couple though are likely to aspire to something with additional creature-comforts and a little more space below.

Having said that I know of two young cruising couples who crossed the Atlantic in their Sadler 25's and cruised the Caribbean in them, so you really don't need a big cruising boat - it's better to cruise in a small boat than not to cruise at all!

Sailboats approaching 40 feet, like the larger ones shown below, are more likely to appeal to them.

Relatively easy to maintain and considerably less expensive to own and operate than those above 40 (particularly so if you're inclined to spend much time in marinas) they represent the minimum size range for comfortable living aboard.

Live-Aboard Sailboats over 50 feet

A visual feast!

V i e w g a l l e r y, marigold faqs.

Whether you're new to boating or a seasoned cruiser, you'll probably have a question or two (or 100). Here are a few common ones.

A N Y O T H E R Q U E S T I O N S ? J U S T A S K !

What's the sale price for marigold and what does this include.

Marigold’s sale price is £77,950 which includes:

• Marigold narrowboat
• This website
• All interior accessories shown within the photographs
• All furniture (sofabed/chairs/drawers/eve mattress)
• Cruising kit
• A full induction day with tea and brunch for newbie boaters!
• Potential for you to set up a trading or hotel business
• High-res photos of Marigold as shown on the website

Have you been happy living on Marigold for the past 2 years?

Oh my goodness! I’ve loved living on Marigold! What an adventure. I’ve fallen in love with river living, met amazing people, had romantic evenings in front of the fire, cooked roast dinners for friends, moored up in the wilderness and amongst bustling cities and spent long summer evenings outside by the boat with a campfire. It’s a wonderful social lifestyle, within a friendly boaty community. I also enjoyed getting creative making her over. I’m now continuing boat life living with my partner Yello and saying goodbuy to Marigold. We don’t need two boats and I’d love for Marigold to go to a new home where she will be used to her full potential.

I haven't lived or cruised on a boat before. Can you show me the ropes?

Yes! Included within the Marigold sale is a first time boater induction day. If you haven’t lived on a boat before, I’m here to show you around Marigold and give you all the tips and tricks that I know.

I first moved onto Marigold not having any experiance of cruising or living on a Board. I’m very grateful to my friends Marina and Myles @CruisingAlba who showed me the ropes, and were on-hand to answer any questions I had. I’d love to pass on this information to Marigold’s next owner starting with an induction day, and going forward should you have questions I can help with in the future.

Included within the induction day is:

• Showing you the maps, apps and technology I use for cruising.
• Linking you up with the Boating social media network.
• A thorough tour of Marigold including hidden inspection hatches
• An explanation and tour of the plumbing system. 
• An explanation and tour of the electrics system.
• How to change a gas bottle. 
• Handing over the brands and colours of all paintwork used
• How to fill up the water tank. 
• How to light a fire, and use the Webasto heater/hot water. 
• How to bleed the radiators and how to maintain the header tank. 
• How to fill up the water coolant.
• How to check the oil, and check the engine before cruising. 
• Mooring knots demo
• Mooring pins/hammer demo
• Cruising & mooring demo
• Unlimited Rooibos Tea, vegan brunch and snacks!

Can I work from the boat and charge all of my gadgets?

Yes! There are plenty of 12v sockets to directly charge mobile phones and other USB gadgets.  For laptops and other 240v appliances, there are multiple plug sockets to use and a Victron inverter. Simply flick the inverter on when you want to charge your laptop/blender or other appliance, then turn it off when finished.  Marigold’s batteries are charged by the solar panels and can be topped up by running the engine when needed in the winter.

How long does the water tank last?

That’s dependent on personal preference of shower length, number of crew and how scrimpy you are with water for washing up!  Let’s say you’re a solo boater using an average of 10 litres a day – the water tank would last you for 55 days.  It’s a big tank!

What paperwork does Marigold come with?

The most recent October full survey is available electronically upon request. She also comes with a bundle of paperwork from the previous owner showing her original build specs, some receipts for blacking/work over the years, and some appliance manuals. 

Have you had any problems with Marigold's engine and has it been serviced regularly?

I’ve never had any problems with Marigold’s engine, she’s never broken down and the engine has been well maintained. I’ve had her engine serviced every six months and the previous owners looked after her too.  She starts first time and I’ve been told that the Isuzu 35 is a very reliable engine.

• 33ft (10m) steel Dutch barge for sale

• Hello, I am selling my all steel boat that I got to refurbish due to change of circumstances. I already put some work in before I had to stop: Stripped the front cabin, cleaned and repainted the ceiling with epoxy paint, and bought closed cell foam and fitted it on the ceiling. Foam alone was £357. Patched exterior paint cracks with epoxy to stop rust and water ingress Repainted two window slots and replaced the window seals, and have spare window seal rubber for the rest for the buyer to fit themselves. Fitted new bilge pump Serviced engine Had the hull blacked in early 2023 and still looks great Fitted a grounding plate to the hull when I had it out of the water, worth £76. This will be useful when installing electrics Fitted propeller blade, which was worth around £150 Fitted 6 anodes for £450 in total. The engine works great and starts instantly. Goes into gear without issue. Also has water tanks with working water pump and 2x 12 volt batteries. There are 2/3 cabins in total, with the rear cabin under the rear deck being smaller and can be used for storage or for something like a bed. The boat has one issue that should be fixed sooner rather than later. There is a slow drip in the diesel tank that should be an easy fix for someone who has time to locate it and seal it, but unfortunately I do not have more time to put into this project. Details: Construction year: 1976  Material: Steel  Length: 10.0 m  Width: 3.0 m  Draft: 0.8 m  Air draft: 2.2 m  Height aft cabin: 1.20 m  Height middle cabin: 1.88 m  Height forward cabin: 1.88 m  Sleeping places: 4  Engine Brand: Kubota 40 hp  Kind: Inboard engine  Fuel: Diesel  Amount of cilinders: 4 If you are interested or have any questions, please get in touch. Thanks! Alex

• Gaff rigged liveaboard sailing boat for sale

• 30ft gaff-rigged liveaboard sailing boat for sale. Currently with a quay-side mooring at Ponsharden boat yard in Falmouth, included in sale. There are showers, a toilet block and a postal address for residents. She is very wide and so there is a lot of cabin room for the length. Currently set up with a double birth in the forward cabin, a single in the main cabin and 1.5 birth in the rear of the boat. There is also a quarter birth under one of the side decks and this is small but makes good storage.

Search continues for British tech magnate and 5 others after luxury superyacht sinks off Sicily

P ORTICELLO, Sicily (AP) — British tech magnate Mike Lynch and five other people were missing after their luxury superyacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.

Lynch, who was acquitted in June in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, near Palermo, sometime after 4 a.m. A tornado over the water known as a waterspout had struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency.

One body was recovered, and police divers spent the day trying to reach the hull of the ship, which was resting at a depth of 50 meters (163 feet) off Porticello where it had been anchored, rescue authorities said. They returned to the site after 10 p.m. to see if it would be possible to search through the night, when weather conditions were expected to worsen, said Luca Cari, spokesman of the fire rescue service.

The ship had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and a waterspout struck precisely where the 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.

“They were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Cocina, noting that another big ship nearby, the Sir Robert Baden Powell, wasn't as badly damaged and helped rescue the 15 survivors — including Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares.

The Bayesian was notable for its single 75-meter (246-feet) mast — one of the world’s tallest made of aluminum and which was lit up at night, just hours before it sank. Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $215,000) a week.

One of the survivors, identified as Charlotte Golunski, said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported. The father, identified by ANSA as James Emslie, also survived, said Cocina.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, said he had noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realized the ship had simply disappeared, ANSA and the Giornale di Sicilia newspaper reported. Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Eight of those rescued were hospitalized while the others were taken to a hotel. One body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, said Cari, the fire rescue spokesperson. The rescue operations, which were visible from shore, involved helicopters and rescue boats from the coast guard, fire rescue and civil protection service.

Fisherman Fabio Cefalù said he had seen a flare from shore at around 4:30 a.m. and immediately set out to the site but by the time he got there, the Bayesian had already sunk, with only cushions, wood and other items from the superyacht floating in the water.

“But for the rest, we didn’t find anyone,” he said from the port hours later. He said that he immediately alerted the coast guard and stayed on-site for three hours, but didn't find any survivors. “I think they are inside, all the missing people.”

He said he had been up early to check the weather to see if he could go fishing, and surmised that a sudden waterspout had struck the yacht.

“It could be that the mast broke, or the anchor at the prow pulled it, I don’t know,” he said.

Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries: In addition to Britain and the United States, passengers and crew were from Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain, he said.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was “providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families.”

Dutch foreign ministry spokesperson Casper Soetekouw said the lone Dutch citizen on board, a man, had been rescued and was not in life-threatening condition.

Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges related to Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp.

The not guilty verdicts followed an 11-week criminal trial in San Francisco that delved into the history of HP’s 2011 acquisition of Autonomy, a business software firm founded by Lynch.

The fraud accusations represented a dramatic turn in the fortunes of an entrepreneur once described as the Bill Gates of Britain — a title he seemed to live up to when he netted an $800 million from the Autonomy sale.

The acquittal vindicated Lynch, who had vehemently denied wrong doing and portrayed HP as a technological train wreck.

“I’m looking forward to returning the UK and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field,” Lynch said in a statement released after the verdict.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate 12 passengers in four double cabins, a triple and the master suite, plus crew accommodations, according to Charter World and Yacht Charters.

The vessel, which previously was named Salute when it flew under a Dutch flag, featured a sleek, minimalist interior of light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions and photos on the charter sites.

Winfield reported from Rome. AP writers Danica Kirka and Sylvia Hui contributed from London.
