Vacationers can focus on the unique activities offered
onboard, since anything else they need to do can be done at home.
Permanent residents can always take a vacation elsewhere if they
need to be surrounded by masses of people. Note that the closer
a seastead is to land, the more it becomes possible to just go to
a major city for the day or the weekend. This makes seasteading
even more like just living in the outback, and is one of many
reasons we'd think the initial location should not be too
remote.

It may be proper to have a small boat come twice a day to ferry people to and from the shore. This would allow the possibility of commuters living on the stead but working on the mainland, tourists visiting for the day, and the like.

I think it is important that the platform be far enough away from the mainland that there will be only a minimal danger of annexation. Countries like to expand their territory into the high seas so a safe distance is important.

Reuben: Its a floating platform. First plant it close to shore and keep an ear out for any motions to annex. Then slip away in the middle of the night a grand toatal of one day before the paperwork goes through.

Lockwood and Reuben...The zone of control for most major nations extends out as far as 300nm. That isn't anywhere near close to shore. As well, slipping away in the middle of the night is a bit farfetched when they are considering a massive structure like the one in question.

That right there I Think is whats killed the idea for me. Not necessarily for a permanent residence, but theres no way that a seastead could exist as a tourist destination when land is, at a minimum, an 8 hour drive by boat away. I dont think there is anything that a seastead could offer the tourist that could outweigh the inherent dangers - risk of death on the high seas isnt something to be taken lightly.
