In most places of the world where the Yachties (live aboard sailors) frequent those fees are quite reasonable. Ray Jason (The Sea Gypsy Philosopher) who I interviewed promoted sail life as a post collapse strategy on his blog spent most of his life living that way, funding it by being a street performer (juggler) wherever he made port. The overall cost of living is quite cheap, since you don't have rent or a mortgage to deal with. Many days and weeks while at anchor in isolated coves you have no fees whatsoever. Very cheap way to live.
