Liveaboard-friendly marinas, Gulf coast — let's build the list
Asked by gulfgypsy in Boat Slips & Moorage on June 2, 2026
Moving aboard this fall. Calling marinas one by one is miserable — half don't answer, half say 'no liveaboards' then quote you a liveaboard rate anyway. Post what you know: marina, city, roughly $/ft, and whether they ACTUALLY allow living aboard.

Regatta Pointe, Palmetto FL — official liveaboard program, ~$13/ft + liveaboard fee, good showers, walkable downtown.

Avoid anywhere that says 'sneak-aboard tolerated'. One grumpy neighbor and you're homeless with a boat.
