About yachts in the USA
Much of the American fleet listed here is in south Florida. Fort Lauderdale, which calls itself the yachting capital of the world, holds its international boat show each year in late October, and bills it as the largest in-water boat show in the world. Miami, Palm Beach and Boca Raton are within an easy drive of it. Further north, yachts lie as far up the coast as Newport and New York. The fleet is broad: Ocean Alexander, Hargrave and other yards with a strong American following sit beside Italian and British flybridge and sport yachts, mostly in the twenties and thirties of metres.

Buying in the USA
- VAT and tax
- The United States has no VAT; sales and use tax is set by each state. Yachts imported for use in the US are dutiable under tariff heading 8903, at a general rate of 1.5% for yachts over 24 metres, and an additional tariff that varies by country of origin has applied to most imports since 24 July 2026, so the position is best checked at import. Florida caps the sales tax on a boat sale at $18,000 as at September 2026. Read our VAT and tax guide
- Flag and registration
- US Coast Guard documentation is open to vessels of at least five net tons wholly owned by US citizens, so foreign owners usually keep a foreign flag. Under the Passenger Vessel Services Act a foreign vessel may not carry passengers between US ports, which limits charter by foreign yachts. Yachts from countries with reciprocal arrangements can obtain a CBP cruising licence for up to one year, and Florida does not charge use tax on foreign-flagged yachts holding one.
- Berths
- South Florida has the largest concentration of superyacht berths: Bahia Mar Yachting Center in Fort Lauderdale has over 250 slips for vessels up to 300 feet, Safe Harbor Rybovich in West Palm Beach takes yachts up to about 100 metres, and Yacht Haven Grande Miami at Island Gardens has 50 superyacht berths up to 550 feet. In summer, Newport Shipyard in Rhode Island takes yachts up to 350 feet.
- Refit and survey
- Florida is the main US refit centre. Safe Harbor Rybovich in West Palm Beach combines superyacht berths with a shipyard offering hoists up to 660 tons, and Lauderdale Marine Center on Fort Lauderdale's New River is described as the largest yacht repair facility in the country by the number of large vessels it can haul. Florida caps the sales tax on each boat repair at $60,000 as at September 2026.
- When to view
- The fleet generally spends winter in Florida and the Caribbean and summer in New England. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs from 28 October to 1 November 2026 across seven venues, including Bahia Mar and the Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six, and the Palm Beach International Boat Show follows from 17 to 21 March 2027 on Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach.
General guidance as at September 2026, not legal or tax advice. Your own adviser confirms the position for your purchase.
Questions buyers ask
Can a foreign-flagged yacht in American waters be sold to me?
It depends on where you are resident. A foreign-flagged yacht lying in US waters may be offered to a buyer who is not a US resident, but she may not be offered to a US resident until she has been formally imported and the duty paid. That is why some listings carry the words not for sale to US residents while in US waters. Ask the Boatcrowd team where a particular yacht stands.
Is there sales tax on a yacht bought in Florida?
Sales tax in the USA is set state by state. Florida charges six per cent on the sale of a boat but caps the state tax due on a single vessel at $18,000, whatever the price, with a small county surtax on top. Other states set their own rates and exemptions, and a yacht kept or registered elsewhere may be treated differently, so take advice before closing.
Do I need a survey and a sea trial?
On any yacht that has been in the water, yes. A survey establishes the condition of the hull, the machinery and the systems, and a sea trial shows how she actually behaves at operating speed and at anchor. Offers are normally made subject to both, so the findings can be discussed before anything is final. On a yacht in build the equivalent is the yard's own sequence of inspections and the handover trials at the end of it.
How does buying a yacht through Boatcrowd work?
You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
