Boats for Sale in Pompano Beach
Buying the right boat for Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach is on the east side of Florida and just north of the #5 most popular beach (according to USnews), Fort Lauderdale Beach. For the most part, the beach runs from Lake Santa Barbara at SE 12th street, right there at the Leisure Towers association, up A1A to NE 14th street. Some may state that the official access on the South side is 814 as the Pompano Beach Pier is located in that general direction. However, there are no main beaches until you get to Lauderdale, so geographically speaking you could group that area in with the Pompano beach. If you are looking for boats for sale in Pompano Beach here is what you should know.
Boats in Pompano are primarily for recreation and cruising
As lake Santa Barbara is within close proximity of Pompano beach, and due to the fact that Ft. Lauderdale is just south of the beach, party and leisure boats are the prime target market for this area. Boats would include the speed sport, the 30 to 40 foot leisure and deep sea fishing boats, especially those which can be act as party vessels such as a Regal or a HydraSports, and yachts. There will be more chances of you finding customizations in the aesthetics in this region as well. The area is the home to Smith Power Boats as well as Global Boatworks and Alaskan Yachts.
Accessing Pompano Beach with a Yacht or large boat
When purchasing a boat in Pompano Beach, you should strongly consider the docking and ports for the boat, especially if you will only use your vessel seasonally. While there are several access points for a boat including Wahoo Bay Bridge, North Ocean Park, NE 13th street, NE 10th Street, Sea Point Condominiums, Admiralty Towers, Silver Thatch Ocean Club, Main Public Beach, SE 2nd Street, SE 4th Street, SE 6th street, SE 8th Street, SE 12th Street, Criterion Condominiums, and Renaissance North and South, getting your craft to these locations is limited to 814 and 844.
Primary Use of Boats in Pompano Beach
As stated, the main boats which you will find in Pompano Beach for sale are those which are catered to leisure. Boat buyers should look for vessels which have higher power and higher top speeds for cruising than those craft which would be used in the rivers and in the Gulf. Typically, boats which would be appropriate for such would be those equipped with tri and quad engines (usually a Mercury or a Yamaha engine in this area). Due to the constant loading and unloading of persons upon the vessel, picking a brand that does not use wood in the decking is ideal.
Deep Sea Fishing from Pompano Beach
If you are planning on doing any serious deep sea fishing in Pompano Beach, look for large boats with sleeping quarters. Most of the water near Pompano Beach is rather shallow, though there are a few areas which get deep. Buyers should be aware that the Bahamas are about 300 miles from the coast as well as several smaller islands. It may be best for those seeking the “full deep sea experience” to plan a trip beyond the keys. Of course, this would require careful planning, provisions, and at least a day docked at the keys to get ready for such a trip. In this situation, a yacht would be needed as smaller vessels would not be equipped for the harsher waters.
Those seeking to fish off the shore and not spend multiple days in the Atlantic can do so with a sportfishing boat or center console boat. Just keep in mind that there are quite a bit of sandbanks and fluctuations in the ocean floor between Pompano Beach and the Keys. Use your boat navigational system and radar to find the ideal location.
