2 of the 6 say you can: The Embankment Marina (liveaboards allowed) and Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation (liveaboard by arrangement). Living aboard can need planning consent and council tax; ask each site about its terms.
On top of the mooring fee: of these, 2 need the navigation's own licence. Coastal marinas usually need none.
