I believe this is the information you need to know, from this linky: http://www.cbp.gov/travel/pleasure-boats-private-flyers/pleasure-boat-locations/fl

What telephone number do I call upon arrival into Florida?

The Florida Small Vessel Call Center (SVCC) can be reached at 1-800-432-1216 or 1-800-451-0393

To make formal notification of arrival on a float plan filed in SVRS call 1-877-330-7327.

What Information Do I Have to Have When I Call?

Vessel masters must have the following information available:
Name, date of birth and citizenship of all persons on board (including passport number);
   Name of the boat and/or boat registration number;
   CBP user fee decal number (if 30 feet or longer);
   Homeport and current location; and
   Return contact number.
