Boats for Sale in Saint Augustine

The Old City

Saint Augustine Florida was established in September of 1565 named by Pedro Menendez de Aviles “San Agustin”. While there are ties to the St. Augustine person, the city is named such due to the day in which Spain first landed upon Florida shores, the feast day of St. Augustine. Today, the city still holds a remnant of its history with sites such as Castillo do San Marcos, Fort Matanzas National Monument, the oldest wooden schoolhouse, and the St. Augustine Light. However, St. Augustine has evolved into a modernistic hot spot with beaches, restaurants, and nightlife on the Atlantic Coast. Boats for sale in St. Augustine are sure to heighten the leisure and relaxation of those upon its waters.

A city of many beaches

There are 5 main beaches in St. Augustine and a few state parks. The beaches are St. Augustine Beach, Crescent Beach, Vilano Beach, North Usina Beach, and South Ponte Vedra Beach. Out of these beaches North Usina Beach and Crescent Beach are the only two which really cater to boating. The other beaches may have the opportunity to have boats and fishing, but this is not the primary purpose of the beaches. Usina beach has boat docks and so it may be the best for those who which to access the Gulf.

Rivers

Apart from the beaches and the direct Atlantic Ocean access, St. Augustine attaches to the San Sebastian River, Tomato River and the Matanazas River. These rivers branch out into various creeks including Moultrie Creek, East Creek, Robinson Creek, and Hospital Creek. As a person seeking a boat for sale in St. Augustine, look for angler craft close to these areas.

Angler boats are apt to be larger in St. Augustine then in areas which do not touch the Atlantic Ocean, primarily for the fact that the vessels can be used for deep sea fishing as well as for freshwater fishing if the beam is wide enough and the deep is not substantial. Boats such as Angler Walkarounds, Regal, Glacier Bay, Wellcraft, and Sea Rays maybe available for purchase. As craft are for the Atlantic as well as for the inner rivers, it is not recommended that single engine vessels be acquired unless the owner is to use the craft for inshore fishing and leisure only.
