Fall is the busiest season for southbound boat transport as Northeast boat owners prepare for winter. Thousands of vessels move to Florida each September through November, either for winter storage in climate-controlled facilities or for year-round use in warm waters. This annual migration is crucial for protecting boats from harsh northern winters.
Northeast winters are brutal on boats. Freezing temperatures, ice, and snow cause expensive damage to vessels left in northern waters. Florida offers affordable winter storage, protection from the elements, and for many owners, the bonus of winter and spring boating access. Fall transport ensures boats arrive before the first freeze.
