Boats for Sale in Placida

Charlotte Harbor’s closest city

Charlotte Harbor State Park, and for a large part Charlotte Harbor, does not have many cities which boarders its waters. Those looking for multiple water access may find such in El Jobean, Burt Store Marina, or Bokeelia, but then the issue is gaining access to such cities without having to either boat to get there or drive a great distance. Placida offers access to the Gulf, to Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, and Peace River. Those looking for boats for sale in Placida should consider a few things.

Placida’s location makes it a fisherman’s town

Charter tours are a big part of the Placida tourism. Both private as well as non-private charters to Charlotte Harbor and into the Gulf are run daily. Granted, you do have the shallow water and the leisure boats for sale in the area are popular, but dominating the market are the larger off shore boats for sale. When looking for boats for sale in Placida seek out the boats which have the angler amenities. These would include the rocket rod holders, the rod holders, bait stations, tackle storage areas, coolers, fish finder navigation, and the like. For those which wish to deep water fish in the gulf, look for boats for sale which have multiple engines.

Fishing in the Placida area allows for both the larger fish and the smaller fish to be caught. Keep in mind that you are close to a state park and so some areas may have restrictions as to the motor and the type of craft which can access certain areas. For example, if you wish to access Boggess Hole from Gasparilla Sound, you would not want a deep resting vessel as you would need to go up the river to access the Hole.

Those accessing the water through Charlotte beach by way of S McCall Rd or Gasparilla Road may find that Myakka River is best suited for a larger saltwater fishing boat since it does boarder the Harbor. Yet, those going north on the river may prefer a skiff or smaller fishing vessel to get to Warm Mineral Springs or Curry Creek.

On the other hand, if you wish to deep sea fish in the Gulf you would need a strong motor to help combat the waves and weather. Buy your boat according to your primarily purpose.
