In Florida, any draft of more than 5 feet severely limits you, mostly to major ports.
You can get around many parts of Biscayne Bay, but forget about the Gulf side of the Keys, which has some great cruising spots. With a deeper draft, you can anchor in spots on Hawk’s Channel and dinghy in, but there’s not an easy marina to get into until Boot Key Harbor on Marathon. On the west coast of Florida, where I sail now, a deep draft would cause all sorts of random problems. I ran aground last year in Little Sarasota Bay in the center of the Intracoastal channel. : My draft: 3 feet, 6 inches.
