Jordan Koursaris has embraced life on the water after moving onto a 1966 boat moored at Kangaroo Point’s Dockside Marina following his divorce in 2024.
The 40-year-old purchased the vessel, Mary Rose, for $18,500 after deciding apartment living was not for him.
Koursaris said his total living costs are less than $2,000 a month, including marina fees, storage and a car space.
“So it’s less than two grand a month; less than $500 a week, and that includes all my expenses,” he said.
While the compact boat presents challenges such as limited space and maintenance issues, Koursaris said living on a boat was a long-held dream.
“Living on a boat is very fun … sometimes it’s not too practical, but I’m enjoying it at the moment,” he said, adding he plans to upgrade to a larger vessel later this year.
