Yachts along a Florida waterway in humid afternoon light

Fort Lauderdale and Newport · the whole east coast run, both ways, every year

North in June,
south in November.

The American season is a migration, and almost everything that goes wrong happens on the two deliveries rather than in the two seasons. Bridges, inlets, hurricane deadlines and a customs regime that treats a foreign-flagged yacht quite differently from a domestic one.

  • Cruising licence renewed before it lapses
  • Yard slots held for both ends of the run
  • Hurricane plan agreed by 1 June

What we do

Florida, the run, and New England

How we work

What is different about running a yacht here

01

The customs regime is unforgiving

A cruising licence that lapses cannot simply be renewed; the vessel has to leave and come back, usually to the Bahamas. We calendar it a year out, because the alternative is an unplanned crossing in the wrong week.

02

Hurricane season has a deadline, not a warning

Yards and holes are allocated in the spring. By the time a storm has a name, the good options are taken and the insurer is asking what your plan was.

03

The run is the risky part

Two deliveries a year past Hatteras with fixed bridge schedules and inlets that move. Most damage we deal with happened on a delivery that nobody was watching.

04

One agent for both coasts of the season

The same person in Fort Lauderdale in January and Newport in July. Handing a vessel between two firms at Beaufort is where the details get dropped.

“Our licence was three weeks from expiring and nobody had told the owner it could not just be renewed. They had a Bahamas turn planned and cleared inside a week, and now it is on a calendar we all see. That single thing has paid for them twice over.”

About this page

Everything above is a demonstration

The business, the listings and the reviews are invented — this page exists to show what someone could put on usayachting.com. The domain itself is genuinely for sale.

Domain for sale

usayachting.com is available

You are looking at a demonstration, not a real business. We built it to show what this domain could carry — the company, the stock and the reviews are invented.

  1. 1

    Make an enquiry

    Tell us who you are and what you would use it for. It costs nothing and puts you under no obligation.

  2. 2

    Agree a price

    We reply with a price or consider your offer. Most conversations are settled within a couple of working days.

  3. 3

    Pay into escrow

    Funds go to a licensed third-party escrow agent, never straight to us. They hold the money until the transfer is confirmed.

  4. 4

    Take ownership

    We push the authorisation code to your registrar. You control the domain, usually within a week; escrow then releases the funds.

The demonstration site is not part of the sale by default — but if you want it, say so in your enquiry and we will include the source.
