The only developer living on a boat that I know of is Dominic Tarr, creator of secure scuttlebutt. I think one of the other main contributers lives off the grid somewhere. Seems like a cool group. They could probably tell you what it's like.

I lived on someone else's boat in the marina for 2 months about 10 years ago. It gets pretty damp in the cabin, so electronics might have a short life. I would love the opportunity to sail and code at some point. I haven't looked into weather proof gear, but a raspberry pi in a plastic shell case might work well. At least the pi is easily replaced.

Scuttlebutt is a peer to peer protocol with peer discovery on the same LAN, which seems like it would be good for making friends while docked.

I haven't heard anyone loose gear due to dampness (even tho salt spray eventually gets to everything). I think it depends a bit on the size of the boat.

I've fried couple of iPhone chargers tho. Just touch the charger end with wet fingers and it gets fried instantly when on fast charge.
