Cat in GA or north till 11-1?

I have a catamaran that insurance requires I am in Brunswick GA or North till Nov 1st. I probably won’t be on the boat for weeks at a time so I need quality marina that can check on the boat or a haul out for a while since my summer 2025 home is in Rhode Island. I don’t see many places recommended as hurricane safe other than Brunswick Landing (which has no openings till Dec) so I may need to go to Hampton or Norfolk VA or just go all the way to RI. I was hoping to plan a trip back south after November maybe to the Bahamas but so far not seeing any options.
Thanks for any suggestions
Dan

Re: Cat in GA or north till 11-1?

Palmetto Bay Marina in Hilton Head has three long finger docks and has many catamarans. There is a service company associated with it but cant haul cant haul catamarans. We stayed there for two months in the spring, did not use the service so cant comment on that, but the marina employees were all great.

Closest cat haulout is Thunderbolt in Savannah.

We hauled out here. Higher rates but a clean yard.

Some dimensions would be helpful... mast height under 65 foot ICW height? Beam for hauling?

Sailing on the outside north to Norfolk is a piece of cake usually, and if you can clear the bridges going inside from Beaufort, NC, to Norfolk eliminates any problems with Cape Hatteras. Lots of safer harbors in the Chesapeake for either dockage or haulout for the winter. Makes a lot of sense to head north now if you want the cat in RI for summer 2025.

I hauled out this april for a bottom job and have a lagoon 410, It was at bridgeton boat works in bridgeton NC not sure if you want to go that far north but the rate was very reasonable and the yard was well kept. They did a good job with the bottom work and servicing the sail drives.
