You have stood at the water's edge and wondered: is it really possible to sell everything, buy a sailboat, and live on the ocean full-time?
It is. This book shows you exactly how.
Written by an experienced ship captain, Liveaboard Sailing for Beginners is the only guide that covers every step of the journey — from choosing and inspecting your first bluewater boat to navigating offshore passages, anchoring safely in remote bays, provisioning for weeks at sea, and managing your finances from anywhere in the world.
This is not a dream-chasing book filled with sunset photos and vague encouragement. It is a practical, systems-level manual built on real offshore experience. Every chapter is arranged in the order you will need the information, with tables, diagrams, checklists, and actionable procedures you can use immediately.
Inside you will find:
Boat selection — monohull vs. catamaran, production builders with strong offshore records, what size boat actually works for full-time cruising, and how to avoid the most expensive buying mistakes.
Pre-purchase inspection — what professional surveyors look for, sea trial procedures, rigging inspection protocols, and the structural issues that should stop a deal immediately.
Systems aboard — electrical, plumbing, watermakers, holding tanks, standing and running rigging, sail inventory for offshore, and how every system connects.
Navigation and seamanship — chart reading, GPS and paper backup, COLREGs, tidal planning, night sailing, watch-keeping systems, and heavy weather tactics including heaving-to and lying ahull.
Anchoring and marina life — anchor selection by bottom type, scope calculations, Mediterranean mooring, dragging prevention, and how to choose between anchoring out and paying for a berth.
Provisioning and water management — offshore meal planning by passage length, water consumption budgets, galley safety, and cooking underway in rough conditions.
Financial planning — realistic monthly budgets by cruising region, remote work strategies, internet options including Starlink, health insurance for offshore sailors, and how to stretch a cruising budget by years.
Communications and safety — VHF, SSB, satellite communicators, EPIRB registration, AIS, medical kit contents, man overboard procedures, liferaft deployment, and offshore medical preparedness.
Cruising routes and destinations — Caribbean, Mediterranean, Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, and the major ocean crossings with seasonal timing, distances, and weather windows.
Whether you are a couple planning to leave in two years, a solo sailor preparing for a sabbatical voyage, or a family considering the cruising life with children aboard, this book gives you the complete foundation to make informed decisions, prepare thoroughly, and depart with confidence.
The dock line is there. The decision is yours.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
