We intend to spend the first one or two seasons on the east coast, going up and down from NC all the way down to the Bahamas. After that, who knows?

It didn't take long to discover that insuring the boat in FL is an expensive complicated PITA and in fact, many companies just won't do it because of the age and length of the boat. I'm currently looking at GA, SC and GA. So how do y'all handle this? What insurance companies are you using that will insure a 41 year old 36 ft sailboat? Did you register in your home state and, if you're landlocked (like NV) can you insure it there, too? How did you choose your location when it comes to where your boat will spend the majority of its time if you're not, in fact, staying in one place more than a couple months at a time?

TIA for your insight!

How did you make out? We find ourselves in the same boat and NO luck with any of the options listed here

I reached out to a member of this forum, Buoy Call, (Frank@SpaceCoastInsurance.com) who was able to help us find coverage.
