Overview
"Bargain Boats and Budget Cruising is about how the ordinary person, one who does not have a trust fund or hundreds of thousands of dollars saved up, can still embark and see the world, or live-aboard a sailing vessel for extended periods in beautiful places without waiting for years and years to save up enough money before they can start, or without the need to work for decades to ""retire"" afloat. This book is for those who wish to go now; who want to live this exciting lifestyle immediately, rather than waiting any longer; dreaming of waving palm trees while standing on a distant shore. Or worse, trapped in a city in the middle of a continent working a job they hate, to pay for the house or apartment they need to work that job and pay for the vehicle they need to get to that job, plus insurance, utilities, and the myriad other annoyances that can hinder experiencing an incredibly simple, healthy, exciting, and fulfilling life."

Reviews
The subtitle of this new book is enticing: The fine art of selecting a great boat, outfitting it, living aboard, and cruising it on a minimal budget. If you find this resonates with your adventure gene, I urge you to buy this book. Why this book, among the many others purporting to answer the same difficult questions? The reason first and foremost: Todd Duff is brutally honest with his opinions. And, he knows whereof he speaks: He's a liveaboard who has cruised thousands of ocean miles, most with his children aboard, visiting 37 countries; owned more boats than you, me, and the bank together; sold more than a thousand boats as a broker; is an accredited marine surveyor and holder of a U.S. Coast Guard masters license; and a good writer widely published in sailing publications.
