Is it possible to take a boat and sail around and go to any state you want in America?

Question

I want to buy some cheap boat and pack it with a tent, and some small belongings and row it to the Gulf of Mexico, or perhaps take it by rivers to California, or in that direction. Is it possible, leagally or not?

Answer 1

if u take another hit of acid you can can go to venus if you can stay awake that long

Answer 2

Not really possible, considering there are dams on several rivers. You might be able to map out a good course but it's not a trip I'd ever want to go on. If you really wanna do something like that, you could use satellite images to check the course to see where you might run into problems. Should be legal, but of course every state has different laws so you might need to check boating laws in each state you want to go through.

Answer 3

I'm not possitive but that donesnt seem likely.

Answer 4

Yes you can. There is no legal impediment. You didn't indicate where you were starting from, so "...that direction." is not clear. If you don't have an engine, it need not be state registered either.

Answer 5

Got it registered in your home state?

Yes.

Sounds legal to me.

Answer 6

I would suggest that you consider a trailer sail boat along the lines of an early Magregor  that you can use as a camper and  have a friend drive to areas that must be bi-passed due to obstructions, this would alowe you to travel to any body of water in the US, not counting Hawiee. Your question is rather broad and if you want to traverse on water in 49 of 50 states you could do it as stated above, If you want to travel North to South from Canada to the Gulf on water ,it is possible but East to West acrost the US, not in the cards, to many rocks(mountans) in the way.

Answer 7

If you want to do a combination of rivers an ocean you can do what many of us full-time cruisers do called the "the loop".

Start in New England in spring come down the east coast around Key West then up the Fla golf coast up the Mississippi river thru the Great Lakes then take the canal back to the east coast. It may take you a year or longer if you are going to row. I dont recommend a cheap boat unless you build it yourself.

You dont have to listen to all the naysayers who post here because they dont know what they are talking about and have never done anything adventurous anyway.

People have rowed across the Atlantic alone why cant you row around the USA?
