A retired couple sells the house, moves aboard a big, flat, roomy catamaran, and lists her before the second hurricane season is over. The reason usually isn't the boat. It's the twenty-five feet of beam that made her a home. The marina has to fit that width, the boatyard has to lift it, and the insurer decides where it's allowed to be from June through November. We go through real 2026 catamaran sale data (median 197 days on the market), hurricane-box insurance rules, Florida's new anchoring limits, and the four steps couples who keep their cats take before they ever make an offer.

Insurance made us sell. They simply wouldn’t insure her old self. She’s now a rental cabin on shore at a resort hotel beside the same lake.
We got lucky in that sale. Otherwise it would’ve cost thousands to haul her out, she is so heavy. We didn’t have a trailer, so they had to improvise one to move her to her land locked new home.
