Maybe a dumb question but if you had a multi million dollar boat or yacht wouldn’t you sail it to Miami out of harms way?

Miami was a no go as was taking it across the Canal. All Hurricanes have a *"turn"* with Hurricane Andrew which *ultimately* turned having very least of that as exception. The initial coverage using the European Model had this heading straight to Tampa which called at least the turn correctly which is why forecasters and computer modelers are paid the Big Bucks at least in New York but to answer your question absolutely yes if you didn't get your gear and toys like the litany of Super Cars too destroyed by this that's just Florida for ya'. I rode out a Cat 1 and I'll never do that again although I never evacuated for Ian even tho forecast a direct hit over my head. The forecast ultimately was off by a spectacular 100 Miles as both the turn was much harder right then became a truly awesome rainmaker which interior Florida still has yet to recover from. Still all major Florida Cities wholly intact without so much as a scratch but this is definitely a wakeup call for coming down hard on building codes for Interior Florida which is now a Hot Mess be an understatement ("Kissimmee.") The idea of flood risk so massive to the entire interior of the State is absolutely a new new thing and will be felt upon this State for decades to come as Tallahassee FL the Capital gets hard to work a continuing to work over the US Federal Government for backstopping Leveling Up Florida to sustain premium product real estate image that has indeed been spared but will struggle in the coming decades pricing wise as contractors given a huge wakeup call for building upon this The Prestige Address, Florida USA. All infrastructure operational is the most important matter for now. Might be worth poking around in and about a few years hence absolutely.

The major problem with trying to move your boat is lack of open dock space. AND if you happen to be out of state, you just can’t get things done because everyone is trying to cover their property as well as friends and family.

The storm was very unpredictable. It was only a 2 day window. Most of swfl thought it was going to make landfall in the tampa area. But it slowly was forecasted to go more south then more south. Tampa prepared for it the most. Then it just turned south like Charley did

Many others have provided great comments as to why one can't always move their vessel or the problems associated with trying to predict weather. For some their vessel is an after thought with life and family put first. However, for liveaboards and vessels with full-time Captain's the vessels go out to Sea. It's a lot easier to get out of the path of a storm. However, there are new challenges that present themselves when you return. Like debris fields, docking or mooring, landscape changes and loss of supporting infrastructure for your vessel if you so choose to comeback to your home port.

so much pollution in the water now too it's really a shame

This is utter carnage. To see all the properties, businesses and homes destroyed is beyond belief. My worry for all the American people that have been affected by this freak of nature is "Will all the insurance companies have enough money to pay out on all claims"? I remember hurricane Andrew the insurance companies soon run out then. It's easy for me to say for someone that lives in the UK but try to keep your chin and spirits up. You can rebuild and I know you all will. Terry Liverpool UK.

You would think so. Hell, China joe sent $80 billion to Ukraine only to be funneled back to the DNC, NGOs, and DC political thieves' pockets.

As a boat owner still 1965, I can feel the pain for these boat owners, even if you had insurance, will it cover all of the damage? But, boats can be replaced, but this is painful.

There are some big boats mixed in all that mess with some big fuel capacity. Can someone tell me on those really big fishing boats or yachts, why wouldn't you fill those up with fuel (yes, I know fuel is expensive) and run them out to sea away from the storm? Even if you have to go a few hundred miles offshore, at least your boat wouldn't be destroyed.

People most likely aren't willing to take the risk of being offshore in the Gulf, during an intensifying Category 4 (borderline Category 5) storm. The conditions ahead of & behind Ian for hundreds of miles would have been horrendous. Also, the track projection would have made decision making very difficult, as well as risky for a yacht owner or captain.

Yup! Go out to sea away from the storm...Yes it may be a bit on the rough side? But you still have your boat/Home...and there's always a safe harbor to come back to....Even if it's not your harbor.

Make a hole on top of the four foot pillars for tying a boat and then in an event of high water, add another 4 foot puller in the hole so the boat doesn’t slip off. Easy peazy

Is there a demand for divers doing recovery work?

Imagine being the guy that came down to the marina to find his boat perfectly fine in the middle of all that carnage? That must have been mind blowing

Tho I feel bad as to the loss of so many boats and damage to properties? Storms and Hurricanes are not new to the populace who reside in the areas affected. In my opinion? Prepare. As one would if you lived in a Blizzard prone area of this country. Hey I and my family have weathered both....Numerous times. And we're still here. Not being callous here.......

The time and planning it takes to move is more than the notice that was given once it was apparent where the storm would hit. Luckily they were able to get themselves out before, but there is no way they could have moved their boat to some place guaranteed to be safe.
