liveaboard
Marina home occupant
A liveaboard is a boat that serves as someone's primary residence, or the person who lives on such a vessel.
Many marinas have designated liveaboard slips with hookups for electricity and water.
The term also describes dive boats where passengers sleep aboard during multi-day excursions: We booked a liveaboard trip to the Great Barrier Reef.
