Selling a cat - Caribbean vs Bahamas vs PR

Hello,
The time has come to start thinking about selling our catamaran.
As we are about to haul out in Trinidad for the usual yearly maintenance, we need to start planning our last season on the water as well. After we are done in Trinidad we will be sailing directly to Puerto Rico, then Bahamas. We intend to put the boat on the market around February so we can be back to Europe in time for the summer holiday. It will be a private sale with no broker involved.
My question is - where is it best to take the boat to attract most potential customers? Boat is 110V but EU registered. Bahamas has little haulout possibilities for a survey. Florida - never been there, east coast FL suppose to have little sailing appeal, few anchorages, marinas very expensive plus there is the tax issue for selling a foreign flagged vessel; USVI - same as FL plus no haul out; BVIs nice but pricey, has a haul out; Puerto Rico - has a haul out, difficult to get to from EU; St. Martin - good connections from both EU and US, good haul out possibilities, nice island.
Any insights?
