It will redefine "intimate."
FWIW, my son owns an ancient 30ft sailboat that is moored in San Diego harbor (he now lives in Idaho). He lived onboard for over a year, starting out with TWO other friends that had cycled with him down the west coast. None of them communicate with each other anymore.
I've been out there a couple of times to spend several days at a stretch onboard. The biggest single hassle in his case is that it's a 20 minute paddle to the dock; otherwise it's outrageously fun for a short getaway. The views of the city are unobstructed and it's fairly quiet on a mooring ball. But, I couldn't imagine living onboard that particular boat for any length of time. It's just a 70's-era racing sailboat and isn't well suited to permanent life aboard or, offshore cruising for that matter.
If you wish, PM me and I'll expound further.
