On the ICW this is a 4 week +/- trip, check your mast height against the bridge clearance on that Florida East/west canal. If you had good weather and went offshore, it could be a 1 week trip. Something in between 1& 4 weeks is likely, why not find some crew with some experience and do it yourself? I have done this route 5 times now and 2 years ago was my first.

Hi, all. I'm just about to make the move to become a real liveaboard. I'm beginning to make offers.
My first boat to consider is a Morgan 426, but my broker tells me because it draws 6 feet, I have to have it delivered by a delivery Capt.. because it can't be shipped by truck.
The boat is in St. Pete and needs to go to the northern Chesapeake. Any body have any idea how long a delivery captain would take to sail that far and how much it would cost? Also anyone know of a good surveyor in Tampa area they can recommend. Someone who will not only point out what needs to be done, but give some advice on how to do it.
Getting back to the main question. How can I get this boat to the Chesapeake and how much will it cost. Also when does the delivery season begin?
Thanks
Bill Wright
