Hello. Interested in trying out a live aboard lifestyle prior to buying my own boat. 

Renting for a couple of years or more would allow me to see if I could make such a life work &discover the realities! 

I would like a 30ft-45ft sailboat, something like a Nauticat would be perfect, but happy to try any. 

I am fit, well and have a healthy budget available, for the right boat/owner relationship. 

I intend to gain my RSAOcean Yachtmaster quals prior to living aboard so that I am fully prepared. 

I will mostly be island hopping around the UK, Europe  & Med. Excellent references, deposit plus first month rent upfront & mooring preferred on South Coast but I can organise this myself if that helps. 

No rush, as flexible with timings & prefer to wait for the mutually ‘right’ situation to arrive!

Please email Maxlcjames@icloud.com if you have a boat that may be what I am looking for!

I am looking for a live aboard static wide beam / narrowboat on the sharpness canal between Bristol and Gloucester.
 
Recently solo after 25 years so I would like to be midway between my job and my kids, Sharpness canal is perfect location, beautiful and quiet.
 
I am initially looking for 6 months to 1 year rent as am hoping to purchase my own boat a little way down the line.
 
Budget, up to £750 a month, I am struggling to find any prices to go on. I am a quiet, sensible individual, full time employment, just looking to get out of Bristol and back to the quiet and relaxing life now.

I am looking for a narrow boat to rent, in hopefully a rent to buy scheme. I am happy to pay up to £750 a month and I could offer a deposit. Based around the West Midlands is preferable, but honestly, I'm open to going anywhere. Don't mind the size or if it's basically empty, just as long as its structurally sound and the engine is good. I know its a long shot, but I figured it was worth trying.
