Boats for sale in Tallahassee

Buying a boat from the State’s Capital

Tallahassee Florida is known as being the capital of Florida. It is located on the northern section of the state, almost touching the Georgia line. It is a center of  commerce, culture, and home to over 190,000 people. Tallahassee boarders several bodies of water and is only a short distance from the gulf, making it a prime location for boat seekers to find boats for sale in Tallahassee. If you are looking for boats for sale in Tallahassee Florida, here are some things you should consider.

The many lakes near Tallahassee

If you look at the location of Tallahassee, you may at first think that there are no bodies of water which are close by. While there are no beaches touching its boarders, there are quite a few lakes which do. These lakes are ideal for the angler who is seeking to purchase a skiff, dory, flat bottom, tournament boat, or the smaller center console fishing boat. Lakes in the area include Carr Lake, Holley Pond, Moore Pond, Mallard Pond, Lake Jackson, Lake Hiawatha, Lake Bradford, Grassy Lake, Lake Munson, Lake Lafayette, and Buck Lake. It is clear that there are a number of opportunities for the boat buyer to find a shallow water craft.

Those who wish to have a dual-purpose boat, meaning those which wish to use the boat for fishing as well as for leisure, should look at the boats for sale located closer to Lake Jackson, as this is the larger of the water bodies around Tallahassee Florida. The boats that you should look for would include the dual console boat, the fish around, custom luxury cabin cruisers, walkaround boats, cuddies, as well as Express Cabin boats, such as those provided by Grady White.

Buying a boat for the Gulf

One of the benefits of purchasing boats for sale in Tallahassee Florida is that you have quick access to the Gulf, should the boat not be harbored/docked there. Taking 319 will connect you to 98 (98 being the main road which runs along the coast of Florida). Should you have a large craft which requires special loading and moving, interstate 10 runs through the city. Keep in mind that if you are transferring a yacht or a boat of over 35’, the best option may be to take highway 10 westbound till you get to Pensacola, as you can access the water directly from there. Additionally, the interstate provides you with the width needed for larger vessels while the closer connecting roads, such as NW SR 12 can get quite narrow in some locations.

Georgia Sellers?

Due to the closeness to the boarder, you may find that sellers who live in Georgia, particularly those in Thomasville and Bainbridge, list their vessels as being for sale in Tallahassee. When this is the case, you should be cautious of the transfer of the license. Even if the license is current in Georgia you will need to register for a new license in the state of Florida once the purchase is made. One big consideration is that in Georgia there may not be a title for the boat. There are registrations for fee collections, but such is not always the case. As you must have a title and registration in Florida, you should check to ensure that registration has been made for the boat and then contact FL DMV title/registration for help on transferring it to your name.
