Can someone explain this to me, please?:

NOT FOR SALE TO US RESIDENTS WHILE YACHT IS IN US WATERS

Its a tax thing.

For example if the boat was sold in Florida it would encounter a state sales tax of 5% or whatever it is. 5% of $950,000 = $47,000 so its well worth it to drive the boat off shore 12 nms to close the deal.

PS Laws vary, tax rates vary, this was just generalisation
PPS if you bring a boat to Australia to sell you pay 15% of the value of the boat to the government BEFORE you are allowed to advertise it.

OK. Thanks. It sounds like they're forbidding anyone in the U.S. from buying it. If I want to pay the tax, that should be up to me, no?
