Dunno why this 4 yo article is getting posted again, but....
While there’s certainly a tax advantage to mooring a yacht in some places rather than others, when you’re holding your yacht out for charter it just makes sense to berth it in a favourable chartering area.
Rhode Island has Mass beat hands down in that regard - Newport, Narragansett Bay, immediate access to LI Sound, Montauk, the Vineyard, Block Island, the Elizabeths. Granted, the later 3 are actually part of Mass, but getting there from Boston requires rounding the Cape. Just no point in it, and there aren’t any really good charter berthing areas in S Mass.
If you want to go up to Maine, charter around Boston, or better yet, charter in Maine itself.
There are far better reasons to berth in RI than just taxes.
