Float Plan (1/3)

A Float Plan is required if you do not plan to return the i.S Yacht to the Harborage Marina Docks overnight. For day sails (returning to the marina daily), a Float Plan is not necessary.

Submission Requirements:

1. Submit your Float Plan at least 5 days before departure if not accompanied by an Intelligent Sailing Licensed Captain.
2. If plans change, you may resubmit your Float Plan.

Important Notes for Multi-Day Trips:

Load your boat, settle in and spend the first night at the dock before heading out the following morning. This allows time to acclimate to the boat and reduces the chance of human error. Get used to your eco-system. 

Safety Reminder:

• Egmont Key is not a safe anchorage. The strong currents from Tampa Bay make it dangerous for anchoring.
• Instead, consider Manatee River for safer options, offering:
  • Two anchorages
  • Two marinas

Confirmation Process:

• If you do not receive a response from Intelligent Sailing within 48 hours of submitting your Float Plan, email us at info@intelligentsailing.com.
• No response needed if your Float Plan includes an onboard Licensed Captain.

Final Check:

Before submitting your Float Plan, ensure you have completed the Sail Away Tasks (steps to sail away). If you're reading this, you're on the right track! If not, please complete the tasks first.

Thank you for your attention and preparation!
