@Diane663 I don't know where or in what kind of situation your yacht is moored, but unless you already have reason to suspect that there are specific people around who might hassle you or your guests, you might go around to all the neighbors, or send out letters, letting them know that you'd like to host there and asking for their support. Telling them that it is neither your anticipation, nor your wish to cause any problems, and that you'll be vetting your guests thoroughly before approving any bookings. Mention how much you love hosting, that it's not just about any money you might make, ask if any of them would be willing to be your eyes and ears and phone you immediately should there be any disturbance, because, of course, they are more important than some disrespectful guests. In other words, if you're a good people person, which you likely are since you love hosting, you might be able to be preemptive in avoiding any nasty neighbor business. Barring the type of neighbors who just are against anything and look for things to complain about, if you take a friendly, open, respectful approach before the fact, rather than act like you're trying to hide what you're doing and hope that no one will notice or comment, that might work a lot better.
