Hurricane season in Miami starts from June 1st and lasts until November 31st. Commonly, Miami experiences the most landfall during mid-August and late September.
After planning the well-being of you and your family, the next highest priority before a hurricane for a boat owner should be his vessel. Understanding all the possibilities that can be done to keep your vessel safe is essential. If you are unable to move your vessel to a safe, indoor location, you must protect and prepare it to be able to endure the upcoming tropical storm on the outside.

Trailerable
If your boat is trailerable, you must have a towing vehicle that is low enough to move your boat. Inspect the trailer to ensure the tires bearings, axle, and overall trailer are in good condition to make the transfer.
After you have inspected and confirmed the boat is ready to be moved, it is time to haul your vessel out of the water; you then need to find a safe location far away from the tidal waters.
Once you have located a safe place away from trees and tidal waves, lash your boat and trailer. Make sure to place blocks between the frame members and axles inside each wheel to avoid movement. When searching for a location, attempt to locate a spot that permits you to secure the vessel with heavy nylon lines from all sides. Do not secure your boat to a tree. Remember to remove drain plugs and all electronics on board.

Non-trailerable boats, if in dry storage, should never be left on davits or a hydro-lift. If you choose to store your boat in wet storage, make sure to secure the boat in the marina berth, moor the boat in a safe area, haul the vessel and leave the site well in advance.
You must have all batteries charged and inspected to ensure their full capability to run automatic bilge pumps for the storm’s duration. It would be wise to pack backup batteries. Remember to shut off all devices that consume electricity.


Marina
If you cannot haul your boat from the water and your vessel must stay at the marina, it is important to do the following; double all lines, rig-cross spring lines fore and aft, and attach lines high on pilings allowing tidal rises or surges. You should secure your vessel on the offshore side to solid pilings making sure that the cleat and other attachment points are vital. Make sure you choose the strongest, strongest pilings appropriately installed to ensure the lines will not slip off. Remember, the longer the dock lines, the safer your boat will be during the high tides.
Installing fenders to your boat protects it from rubbing against the pier, pilings, and boats secured near you. Wrapping all lines where lines feed through chocks with tape, rubber hoses, and tape or leather prevents chaffing.

Mooring
If your vessel will remain on a mooring, you need to verify that the mooring is designed to withstand your boat. By contacting your marina or the provider of the mooring, you can clarify the maximum load. Ensure the chains and swivels are connected to the mooring buoy. It is essential to double up on the mooring pendant.

Do Not Stay Onboard
Hurricanes can exceed over 100 mph winds. If you are on board during a tropical storm, you are risking your life and those with you, if that be anyone. Not waiting until the last second to prepare yourself for the storm is imperative to you. Taking precautions before your trips are essential to keeping yourself and those around you safe. Once again, do not stay on board during a severe storm or hurricane.

Here are some more tips that are important to follow before a tropical storm:
You must frequently check the weather broadcast before, during, and after you operate your vessel. Making it a habit to monitor the weather will help you overall.
Keeping all belongings marked and documented is essential for easy documentation if lost in a storm. Make sure to label paddle boards, kayaks, and life jackets with your contact information. It is also essential to remove all moveable equipment before the storm, such as; canvases, sails, radios, Biminis, furling roller sails, etc.
Make sure to keep all your records and documents in a safe place; this includes insurance policies, photos of the vessel, boat registration, equipment inventory, and lease agreements with the marina and storage facility.
It is essential to keep a list of your contacts, such as the marina, emergency tower providers, and your insurance agent, as well as a list of emergency contacts.

Once The Storm Has Passed
Being cautious once a storm passes is vital. Electrical wires may be off; however, these wires can be overheated due to the generators operating. Stray electrical currents from outlets that have been submerged and damaged vessels system can be present, and it is crucial that you do not enter the water.
Scan your vessel for leakage from natural gas and propane. You can do this by smelling the air, do not use matches or candles. Verify that dock lines and mooring pendants are secured and confirm there are no submerged objects or debris in the way of your path. It is essential that you contact local authorities to make sure the waterways are safe to navigate through.

If you happen to be unfamiliar with fishing in South Florida, throwing your line out into the crystal blue water will always be a game of “what will I catch today!” You are more than likely to catch fish you could proudly serve at the dinner table or mount up on your wall at home. This is because Miami is known for its variety and large fish species! Groupers, Tarpon, Swordfish, and Sailfish are only a few species you can catch in Miami. The Goliath Grouper is the most popular fish that attracts travelers from around the US. Weighing over 200 pounds, this fish has anglers packing heavy tackle and chartering boats all year round! The tarpon is your best choice if you wish to stick to shallow waters and want a good fight! Biscayne Bay is where these fish tend to hide away during the summer months. If you travel a few miles more to the deep sea, you open yourself up to a new challenge. Sailfishing is the jackpot of Miami, bringing in thousands of unique visitors to take on a challenge like no other. Sailfish is one of the fastest fish Miami has in store for you. Locals will happily share that kite fishing is a phenomenal way of catching these incredible creatures. This experience is like no other; when fishing for sailfish, expect to be on your feet and keep your eyes out on the water. The top fishing spots in Miami are Biscayne Bay, Bache Shoal Reef, and Liberty Ship. Take your chances in Miami the next time you cast your line, and good luck!
