| No Permission Needed
There is actually no regulatory body who will restrict passage on the ICW. The limiting factors are depth and width. I can't recall anyplace on the entire ICW where length would restrict your passage.
Carl, from the pics I'm guessing your perch is somewhere north of PGA on the east side? So to be specific for that area the restrictions are:
Depth - Supposedly controlled at 8' (but they're not really maintaining that anymore).
Height- 65' (which is the limit for fixed bridge height for the entire ICW except one bridge which is 55')
Beam- At 85'- 90' it's not really a factor, although I suppose a huge squatty barge could push those limits).
So, in reality you'll not likely see any yachts greater than 155' transitting that stretch. Another factor is that the next deep water inlet to the north is Ft. Pierce at approximately 45 miles.
