it will be a foreign flagged vessel staying only in the Caribbean

Does anyone know of any insurance companies, foreign or domestic, that insurers boats in the Caribbean?

For my size boat it will cost approx $975/mo for the marina. I want a home port in SXM and I don't want to dinghy all the time , also I am single and will be alone. As am American citizen I can stay as long as I want w/o a visa, but I cant work legitimately on the island unless I had a visa. But...

I plan to be docked at IGY Simpson Bay Marina on the lagoon. My cruising will be just the Caribbean, primarily withinin 200 miles of St. Maarten. However, I do plan to cruise south during Sept-Nov to head down to the Grenadines and Trinidad. During my cruising I plan to live on the hook..

I'm hoping to find Cat 3208 naturals

Thank you all for the very helpful info!

I am looking for opinions. Would stabilizers be of value on a 45' Tollycraft that I will be living on in the Caribbean in St. Maarten? I plan to be on the hook half the time and at a Marina the other half. Thanks!

Art, I am looking into getting a 1985-1988 44' Tollycraft w/ twin diesels and I will be living aboard in St. Maarten full time with cruising the Carribean as a plan. I will be retired and I was wondering about your thoughts on a Tolly in this boating environment. Also, do you have any fuel burn...

Does anyone know anything about 44' Tollycrafts with diesel engines? Quality, dependability, fuel economy, whatever info anyone has will be helpful. Thank you

Can anyone please tell me what the hull composition is for a 44' Tollycraft? Also, what is the approximate burn rate (GPH) for the same boat with twin diesels at approx 7 kts? An approximation would be helpful. Thank you

I'm thinking Nagico for all my insurance on the island.

I will be a liveaboard. Will that make a difference?

I have no ownership background unfortunately

OK everybody I will get my ducks in order. But from what I have posted so far, is $5000 a year about right? What are boaters paying? Any numbers would help while I further my search. Thanks in advance everyone!

1985 44' Tollycraft, fiberglass hull. I'm a certified Coast Guard Aux boat crew member with 35 hrs of helm time in boats from 22' to 40'. I have approx 100 hours as a boat crew member. I hope this info helps.

I'm a newbie to boating. I am curious if anyone has an idea of what boat insurance would be on a 44' twin engine trawler kept in St. Maarten year round. I am just looking for a ball park figure, give or take $1000/yr.

St Maarten Thank you! Happy and safe cruising!

I'm looking to move to St. Maarten and I plan to keep my boat in the lagoon on the Dutch side at Simpson Bay Marina at times. I am an American citizen. Do you have to clear Customs everytime you leave the lagoon and come back? How long can you wait before you have to clear Customs once you enter...

I am a total neophyte to this forum. I would like to know what should be done to my boat while docked at the marina to protect it from hurricanes? Any and all advice is welcome!:confused:

thank you so much!

Thank you for the helpful info. How long do you take to cruise from Trinidad to the Western Carribbean? Have you cruised the islands of Belize?

so what kind of dockside problems have you incurred besides roaches? What islands are better for docking and anchorages and why?

Carribbean trawling Thanks for the information. Do you stay in dry dock all hurricane season? What are some of your favorite islands and anchorages? Is it a problem keeping a boat in hurricane prone areas if you are prepared well? What would be good preparations for a hurricane?

Does anyone have any stories or knowledge about living aboard a trawler in the Carribean, St. Maarten in particular? A 38' trawler to liveaboard and cruise within a 200 mile radius is my plan from Nov thru May, but not this year. Does anyone know if maintenance costs or haul out costs or work...
