Ft Lauderdale to NY

A little more info would be very helpful. Things like cruise speed, range, air draft (for inside portions), vessel condition (new to you/unproven?) all will help immensely. The northern migration will be cranking up so inside will be getting crowded! Other than that, Alligator River bridge just opened back up (was closed for almost a month) and Oregon Inlet is a fairly straight shot but has periodic 2 hour closures for new bridge construction.

That's not very much fuel for that kind of burn rate! Figure on a max of 150 mile legs if even that far, some places it's quite a ways from the sea bouy to a marina. I'm more used to running 200+ per day so my usual stops won't be any help but the ones I like;

Canaveral, easy inlet, Grills for good eats
St Augustine, Not so easy inlet but Conch House easy to get into and good eats
Hilton Head Marina,
Charleston, City Marina or Patriots Point
Georgetown, docks downtown, long way but SO good eats (see a pattern???)
Southport, easy inlet and start of shortcut through Snows Cut to Wilmington/Masonboro
Beaufort, easy inlet, start of "inside passage" out to Oregon Inlet (and home!)
Ocean City MD, Sunset Marina
Cape May NJ, South Jersey Marina, easy inlet, good food

What size crew? Running day only or 24 hours?

You only have 7 hours range so a range per fueling of 160 nm or so. By the time you stop and fuel each day, if you're running day only and just you running the boat, then that's probably it for a day. That gets you something like this.

1. Canaveral
2. St. Augustine
3. Savannah
4. Georgetown
5. Southport
6. Beaufort
7. 8. Norfolk
9. Cape May
10. New York

I'd slow down a bit if it would allow me to cover more miles on some of those days.

Then there's the issue of sea conditions. Don't know when you plan on doing this. However, the likelihood that you'll find the seas comfortable 10 days in a row for a 60' express type boat are not great. For instance, I could easily see you taking the Chesapeake inside route and some ICW on one or more days. I'd say 14 days would be reasonable but still a bit optimistic. We did it in 7 days averaging 184 nm per day but in a slightly larger boat.

It can allow you to target a destination one inlet further up the coast. For instance, on the list I did, it would allow Jacksonville instead of St. Augustine perhaps. Then maybe Charleston next. You just need to know your fuel consumption and range at different speeds. Is this a new boat to you? If so, you should assume none of the fuel data is reliable.

With a crew of three you'd be able to run 10 hours a day (leaving two or three for fueling) vs. 7 if you had more range.

Are you doing this as a friend, or hired captain? Just curious

I like the way you think !

If you stop in Fort Pierce, go to the FP City Marina. Great folks, cheap fuel available 20 hours a day. Several good places to eat within walking distance. Our favorite is 12A Buoy next to the bridge.
