For those of you that are or may be cruising the Sunshine State, you need to be aware that the State has a 90 day reciprocity with other states on vessel registrations, including documented vessels. After 90 days, you are expected to be out of State waters or register your boat in Florida. The real catch, if you haven't paid sell's tax on your boat in your home state, you'll be asked to do so at registration.
There is a way however to overcome this, by use of the Sojourners Registration, allowing you to remain in State beyound the 90 day period. There has been some recent discussion on cruisersnet.net about this so I researched it more.* I've written a rather long piece on my blog, with access to the necessary forms, about how to take advantage of this simple Florida law to your advantage.*
Merry Christmas to all!
