What kind of boat do you have, how is it equipped, are you staying at
anchor or in the marina most of the time, etc.,
You can spend as much as you can imagine—
just stay in the nicest marinas with a really big boat and eat out every night and buy drinks for everyone in the bar once in a while.
Or you could get a small, well-equipped, self-sufficient boat—that has wind/solar for electrical generation, a watermaker, and a decent-size propane tank—
living out on the hook for pennies a day instead.
If you need a resort-type atmosphere or the boat isn't self-sufficient, your costs are going to go up considerably. This question really depends on what you're comfortable with, what you can afford, and what you will accept.
IMHO, it a pretty poor question to ask, since, it can't really be answered without giving any specifics. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read the POST in my signature.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
