I have 3 friends that live on boats up on fort myers.
1000-1200 month plus 150-200 electric a month. NOn existent Wi-Fi even though it is said it’s included so another 100 bucks.
2 halfway clean showers between 50 boaters along with a couple wash machines.
125 a month for a diver to clean the bottom and replace the zincs. This is a must or you’ll pay later.
4-5 years between bottom jobs $2-3000 if you do it yourself $5-6000 for the yard for 2 coats.
survey every 3 -4 years for insurance $20 a foot but probably more these days .
Neverending crap to be fixed on a boat sitting in saltwater plus interior systems , water pumps, heaters , holding tanks vacu flushes ,ac units you name it.
Not cheap living on a boat and keeping it up.

Your best bet is to check with the major cites several have marinas that rent slips out https://www.cityftmyers.com/yachtbasin
that is a part of what i did... pretty much the least expensive.. but add power, plus x$ per kilowat, so on and so forth...
it must be worth that if they are full ! i was just surprised compared to my area i guess...

3 bars and restaurants and a pool. My buddy had his boat up there for year and I thought the location was fantastic.
