Taking state registered boat to Caribbean?
Hello everyone!
Later this year, my wife and I are planning to move aboard and head south from the Chesapeake towards Florida and the Caribbean islands.
One problem I''ve been unable to find solid information on, is whether we are likely to encounter difficulties clearing into Caribbean ports with our MD state registered Nicolson 35.
I know conventional thinking says your boat should be USCG Documented if you plan on travelling internationally, but for me this won''t be possible due to the citizenship requirement since I''m only a green card holder.
Does anyone have any first hand experience taking their state registered vessel abroad?
many thanks
Graham
