Haul out options in Florida E for catamaran?

[SYL]

We will be coming back in a year to the Us East Coast with our Dean 441 Cat…
LOS 44 feet, Beam 23.5 feet , Mast 68 feet…

Any recommendations on where to haul out for Hurricane season and dry storage? Coming back from 5 years in the South Pacific!

Suggestions welcomed.

Try Scorpion Marine in Port Canaveral. No bridges and a 200 ton travel lift. I have seen Lagoon 50's hauled there.

St Augustine has a place for cats. Also fort pierce has a place. Be warned, many are very full. I had mine at both places. Ping if you would like more info.

Yes, If you have more information I would like to hear about it as given we have been away for 5 years, lots of people are telling us it is impossible! We want to look into this well ahead of time! Thanks

In South Florida, Lauderdale Marine Center is the home base for MultiTech. They can deal with just about anything. You will not even be close to the biggest boat there. DYI friendly, and a good set of on-site contractors if you need that. Prices pretty good--for South Florida.

My old friend Randy West hauled his big cat, Ppalu, here in St Augustine, via railway

We hauled two years ago at St. Augustine Marine Center. Place was full of cats of all sizes. We were happy with the work we had done there.

Another recommendation for St Augustine Marine. If I remember correctly though our P435 was pretty tight in the travel lift dock. You might want to check maximum beam.

At St. Augustine Marine Center they use a travel lift and trailer for haul outs. At 6.53m (21.5ft) we were near the max beam. The bigger boats come out on the trailer.
