You cannot live on a boat anchored in a state harbor for more than 90 days.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

State harbors strictly regulate how long a person can use a vessel as their primary residence. To prevent marinas from turning into floating shanty towns, you cannot live on an anchored boat for more than 90 consecutive days without a specialized permit. This ensures spaces remain available for transient boaters and recreational use.
