The expected path of hurricanes is well known; why not evacuate these expensive boats/cars/aircraft? I wonder if there is a business opportunity in providing owners and insurance companies an escape that the owners are apparently unable to provide?

Comes down to evacuate your house with your family possessions or move the boat. Not enough time for both

[@repent.sinner]

Makes sense but easier said than done.

[@michaelmcfeely6588]

@@toadis6949 OK, reasonable answer. I wonder if there is a business model for a service that provides for the evacuation of an expensive asset. In exchange for reduced insurance premiums, the owner agrees to hand over the keys to professionals who work for an evacuation company. When a tropical storm is brewing south of Cuba and headed for Florida, for example, these professionals would be ordered into Florida for asset evacuation duty.

[@TheWisconsinFishTank]

I’m not sure if they do it for more expensive boats, but I know that will small personal planes, if you don’t move it before a big storm, the insurance companies will fight to not pay for the damages, because their logic is: it’s a plane, you could be anywhere else in a few hours.

Never understood why you would not move your boat out of the impact zone, you see it every hurricane

@Barry Weaver No it does not work like that.

[@henryhawkins1194]

It is because a lot of these boat owners are seasonal residents. Not enough dry docks or storage for every boat or yacht. You don't realize how many boats are down here with all the rivers, canals and beaches locally.

36 hours before the Hurricane hit, they had it going well North of Fort Myers, All of us didn't think we would receive a direct hit. Would it have been smart to move them yes, however we had houses, family, pets and other things to have to deal with as well. Easy to say after the fact...

I agree. I think they figure insurance will pay them for a totaled boat and then they can go buy a new one.

Probably with the economy they couldn’t keep the boat anyway - what a great way to forgive your loan! Have the insurance company pay it off and walk away! Sorry to be so skeptical but why else would you NOT protect that investment?

Yeah moved my boat out from drystack on the coast before the whopper hit Houston back in 2008. Was really wanting a big tree to take it out. Couldn't sell it at the time, had 65k loan on it and insured to 75k. Gigantic tree missed it by 3 feet. I never have any luck. Boat survived, and it cost big to take the hit to dump it cheap.

The boat owners have no clue how to take care of boats. If one of those Yachts belonged to me then I would have done something different than using a rope to tie up the boat at a dock, and place the boat beside, or in front of other boats that can probably smash or crash into another boat, or fly into another boat, or be tossed out of the water.

So what would you have done genius? Judging by the fact that you called a line a "rope" I doubt it would be anything substantial.

@@vicpinto1970 The item that was used, and I am assuming it was used looks like a rope. I think what was used is inappropriate to use during a natural disaster. I have other ideas that would be much better to use, and no I won't share it with anyone. There is really only 1 way to find out if my ideas work, or not.

Mooring Line is a nautical term used to describe a length of rope (i.e. a line) used to moor (connect / fasten / make fast) a marine vessel to dock, pile, wharf, buoy field, the shoreline, lake bottom, and or sea bottom."

And now, a massive clean-up operation awaits these poor people.

Some people will experience windfalls of money after the storm and some will never recover. Winners and losers. It’s in our human history.

OMG. What Will we do now? our million dollar yacht is destroyed. I guess we don't have anything left. Oh ya we have a 2 million dollar yacht left.. I guess we will have to rough it.

Gotta take it out and anchor it in the bay with a hurricane anchor (extra large Mantis anchor with 8 to 1 scope).

[@freddymngadi6135]

If those are million dollar yachts, then I don't know what a boat is!

[@stephendoing2253]

Easy way to get rid of them. Take the insurance $ and run!

[@miltonmatthews2138]

There were some people who said they were going to ride out the storm in their boats. Don't know what happened to them.
