Hi there, I'm new to posting here, looking to pick up a small boat soon, sail down to Gib from the UK and retire and relocate there and live on the boat. If anyone has some tips or useful advice, I'd be very interested. This is not pie in the sky by the way, I do have qualifications. Just seriously had enough of the weather here 😕🥶

Hi, I'll be retiring in Aug 2025 when my state pension kicks in. Am hoping to pick up a small boat around Nov 2025 and up sticks and disappear southward then. It's a very open plan and I'm using the time till then to research the overall plan, which is to tour the med. Just want to winter it out in Gib area. Schengen has forced me to modify plans somewhat with the time restrictions in EU countries cut down to 90 days in every 180, just means I'll have to keep a check on how long I can stop and where.

I feel taking a few short breaks over there in the meantime will help put a foot in the door and can only help.

These forums are great for information especially on the nitty gritty stuff.

Thank you fot your reply

Hi there, it sounds like you'll be there ahead of me. I retire in August 2025 and soon after that I'll be heading south. Haven't decided on a yacht yet, for now it'll just be something cheapish, to get me my tools and a few bits and hopefully a small crew maybe 4 in total, down to Gib and maybe further. There's nearly always someone wanting a trip down to Gib and the company is always welcome and normally entertaining.

Have you done any sailing before, not that it really matters. Last time I went down from Milford, we had Basking sharks off the south coast and dolphins most of the way across the bay. The time before that we were bashing into a gale for 3 days and it got a bit lumpy. This time however, I won't have the time constraint of a delivery and will be sitting out any blowy, lumpy stuff. Preferably enjoying a beautiful platter of Fruits de Mer and nice chilled bottle of Chardonnay. Can you tell I'm already longing for retirement.
