Can my 1 year old live on a parked boat at a marina?

Question

I'm concerned with safety issues on a boat with a 1 year old. Does anyone know people with kids who live on a boat that have advice?

Answer 1

I lived on a boat with my parents for 6 months when I was just over a year old. My older sister who was 4 was there too. My mom figured out how to handle both of us out there on a boat! I'm sure you can too!!

Answer 2

ummm...i dont live on a boat but it would be an amazing experience. i would say this is up to you, but be aware of the risk that is involved. but why not, as long as you were attentive and took the necessary precautions i would think that it would be ok.

Answer 3

Only if he walks around with a life vest on all the time. its hard enough to keep a child safe in a home on dry land but with the constant possibility of falling overboard, it would be pretty risky.
