Welcome to Living Aboard!

Living Aboard is the magazine dedicated to people who dream of the life and live the dream of living aboard watercraft. In continuous publication for more than a quarter-century, each bi-monthly edition of Living Aboard shows how liveaboards do it on sailboats, motorboats, houseboats, trawlers, more. A "reader written" magazine, in each issue you'll read articles written by fellow liveaboards — veterans, newcomers, and those still working toward making the break from land.
