Welcome to the The Essentials of Living Aboard, the book regarded as a premiere resource for potential or new liveaboards and seasoned sailors alike.

The Essentials of Living Aboard educates both dreamers and explorers alike with information about this wonderful and rewarding lifestyle. Mark Nicholas has combined his experience of life aboard with the advice of other liveaboards, marina owners, technicians, boat manufacturers and advocates in order to detail the challenges and offer real advice for success. This lifestyle, typically thought to be out of reach or "for other people," is now available to all who dream.

The Essentials of Living Aboard explains how to:

Figure out your needs
Choose the right boat
Buy your boat
Choose the right marina

Prepare for the lifestyle
Outfit your boat
Plan for all climates
Forecast your costs
And much more!

The Essentials of Living Aboard has been one of the best selling boating books in the country (and the #1 book on living aboard a boat) for the last three years.
