Re: SAILING TO FLORIDA FROM VENEZUELA

Alex,
An additional thought: Look at this website or app for planning your trips on the USA coast. It has local bridge names so you can hail them to open, marinas/fuel, anchorages, and hazards. The hazards include shoaling areas, missing markers etc. www.activecaptain.com
I stand corrected on the airdraft of the Maramu. I should have looked at your boat type more closely. Regardless, the standard height for fixed bridges over the ICW is 65’.
With best regards,

I am considering sailing up to Florida early December,
starting from my home port of La Guaira, Venezuela. I don´t think I would stop
in Cuba in principle, but maybe Jamaica. Can anyone provide some tips and
advice on a proposed route? Best place for US Port of entry and formalities
with a foreign flag vessel and crew. What to expect with US Customs. Also any
tips on sailing into the ICW in the Miami- Aventura area? Draft and bridges for
example. Also, I don not have any holding tanks onbard, is this an issue to
consider?
