Boats for Sale in Valrico
Find boats for sale in Valrico Florida
Valrico is located in the mid-western section of the state. Like many of the towns in the area, it is a railroad town dating back to the late 1890s, the city, otherwise known as the “Long Pond”, has ties with Tampa, more Tampa Bay than the city. With a proximity to the Bay as well as a series of small freshwater spots nearby, Valrico Florida offers a large variety of boats for sale. Yet, before you purchase a pre-owned boat for sale from Valrico Florida, here are a few things you should consider.
No direct Gulf Access
Although close to the Gulf of Mexico, Valrico does not touch the Gulf. Where this will not be problematic for most of the center consoles and other boats which will be available, those seeking to purchase a 35’ or larger boat will need to consider the docking and marina options available in the area. You do have highway 60 which can allow you to navigate to the gulf easily. However, if you decide to travel down W. Bloomingdale Ave. or something similar, you might be limited by the width of the road.
Freshwater available
There are a few freshwater options in the north part of the county. These are small and private locations and so access to them will be limited. You can do a bit of Freshwater fishing in the Alafia River as well as in Medard Park (though boating there may be an issue). Thonotosassa is the closest location to a large lake, but it is a drive up highway 75.
Those looking for freshwater fishing boats will have success in looking for the bay boat and for the smaller (less than 20’) bass boats and fisharound vessels. The larger angler boats will be available, but these are intended, for this area at least, for Tampa Bay and the Gulf.
Access to the Gulf
The best way to access the gulf is by the Tampa Bay. To get to the Bay, first go to Brandon Florida and then cut across to Tampa. If you are like many people who do not wish to deal with the traffic and roads of Tampa, you can stay on 75 southbound and access the water at Apollo Beach Gibsonton, Ruskin, or Memphis Florida. Out of these alternate launch points, Memphis and Bradenton would be the most ideal as they give direct access to the gulf. However, these are also the furthest from Valrico.
Types of boats for sale in Valrico Florida
Since the city is over 35k residence strong and growing, it is quite predictable to have a wide variety of boats for sale in Valrico. Add to this the listings which will be for both Tampa and Brandon which include the Valrico area, and the margin of variety increases even greater. Expect to find an abundance of boats for sale in the 25’ to the 42’ range. Many of these will have hardtops, some with multi-tier hardtops as they will be angler based. When looking for the luxury sport cruiser, you will find that the larger boats and cabins will be preferable, as access to the Gulf from the Bay could take several hours and having the ability to overnight is preferable.
Those that wish to find a bow rider, cruiser yacht, cabin cruiser, or performance boat, should note that Valrico is within short driving from several international boats shows in Tampa. The result being that dealerships in the area will have these selections.
