Best 40 Foot Sailboat to Live On?
So you want to live on a sailboat.
What is the best sailboat to live on, and how big should a sailboat be to live aboard comfortably? In this episode, we look at why a 40-foot sailboat may be the sweet spot for real liveaboard sailing. You can live on a smaller boat, but if you want adult comfort, real storage, a usable galley, proper sleeping space, a workable head and shower, room for guests, space to work, and enough electrical capacity for solar, batteries, refrigeration, laptops, phones, and modern cruising life, 40 feet starts to make a lot of sense.
While showing a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS, we break down what makes a good liveaboard sailboat and why the best 40-foot sailboat to live on is not always about speed, tradition, or offshore toughness. It is about everyday livability: sleeping well, cooking real meals, storing your life, staying dry, charging your gear, and feeling like your boat is a home instead of a camping trip. If you are shopping for a live aboard sailboat, wondering how big a sailboat should be to live on, or looking for the best liveaboard sailboat around 40 feet, this is the argument for why 40 feet might be the magic number.
