    Yachting Club of America

    Does anyone have experience with reciprocity from YCOA? I was wondering if it is worthwhile joining a club for this benefit. I live in FL, so same question for Florida Council of Yacht Clubs.

    I highly recommend Boca Grande. Charming town, no stop lights, nice people, great views, dog friendly and all you need is a golf cart to get around. You can rent a condo at Boca Grande North for a reasonable price (but no pets). Great views and small boat marina. If you want to be on the...

    All of my recent experience is inshore and near shore in small boats (less than 25ft). I have no significant offshore experience or experience with larger boats.

    One of the reasons I am not sure I would do the Great Loop (at least at first) is missing places like Camden, Rockport, Southwest Harbor (and other places near Acadia) and possibly Nova Scotia. Regarding size, I find the idea of a larger boat more attractive when it comes to big water and bad...

    Trawler size advice

    Thank you to all who responded. A lot of good advice on here and much to think about. Yes, we are planning on going to trawlerfest. Maybe after that, I will look for a boat to charter that is similar to what we like. There are so many things to consider and I sure don't want to make a very...

    Trawler size advice

    My wife and I are looking at buying a trawler, probably in 5-6 years after the kids go to college, and plan on doing the East Coast ICW +/- the great loop. I have been around boats my entire life (mainly Chesapeake Bay and both coasts of Florida), but have not owned or operated a 40-55 ft boat...

    Vicious Wake, 1 man down.

    This is a very interesting thread. My wife and I are planning on buying a trawler in a few years and hopefully do the great loop. I am not looking forward the inevitable situation that Mule was in. I hope these situations are few and far between. Although, I only have a small fishing boat at...
