    Hi,

    Is it possible to live abaord a cruising yacht in Dublin in any of the Marina's?

    I know you can have your both moored at any marina at a cost but is there any law or marina rule that wont allow you to live on your yacht?

    I am planning to buy a 28 to 33 foot yacht and live on it.

    Thanks!

    Howth, Dun Laoghaire and Poolbeg marinas are all based in state harbours and no liveaboards are allowed. Malahide, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't allow liveaboards either. It's not a runner in any location on the east coast unfortunately.

    I believe that a lot of people live on boats on ther canal in places like Hazelhatch and Sallins.
    I don't know what the situation is with permission or security but it they are fairly close to Dublin.
    May help.
