Boats for Sale in Saint Cloud

Boating near Tohopekaliga Lake

Located south of Orlando and to the East of highway 4 Saint Cloud rests. The city is surrounded by lakes and is within 50 miles of the Atlantic Coast, going by 192 to Melbourne. Those who are looking for boats for sale in Saint Cloud should consider a few factors. Here are a few considerations for the location.

Lake Power

The first factor that a person seeking boats for sale in Saint Cloud should consider is which lake he or she will be primarily using. The lakes which are close to St. Cloud include East Lake Tohopekaliga, Lake Tohopekaliga, Lake Gentry, Lake Mary Jane Shores, Cypress Lake, Big Bend Swamp, lake Hatchineha, Alligator Lake, Lake Lizzie, Lake Center, Lake Myrtle, Mud Lake, and Hunters Creek. Knowing the information about the lake will greatly help in deciding if you wish to purchase a larger boat, the power of the boat, as well as the primary type of boat you need. For example, Lake Tohopekaliga lake has 2 Marinas and 4 islands. Yet, the lake has no boat ramps. Larger craft will need to be docked at the marina when not in use or taken from the water.

Those planning to use the marina should check with the Lake as to the requirements, cost, and living requirements. Many marinas do not allow you to dock your boat if you are not living there, while other marinas will let you do so if you use their maintenance and upkeep services.

The Marshes and swamps

As listed above, there are a few swamps and marshes in the area. These areas are popular for the angler. Those who wish to navigate into such waters need to consider a Skiff boat or a boat smaller than 20’. Yellowfin boats may be able to do such as well as Boston Whaler boats. Check the depth of the boat. Even when you are considering the manufacturer, some boats are not capable of going into 2’ of shallow water. If you are seeking a boat which can go into the shallows as well as one which can navigate on the lakes for leisure and sports, perhaps a SeaHunter 28 Floridian or something similar would be the best option.

Keep in mind that when you bring a boat into the swamps and the marshes of Florida, that there may be restrictions on the motor, HP, type of boat, and where you can go. This is due to a great bit of Florida being under wildlife protection, specifically where it pertains to manatees. Check with local zoning and boating authorities to see what requirements are in place for the swamp or marsh you plan to visit.

What boats can I expect to be for sale in Saint Cloud?

Since the city is located around so many lakes, buyers should expect to find angler boats in abundance. This is not to say that the selection will be limited to skiffs and trailer sized crafts. HydraSport boats, Sea Vee boats, Contender boats, and Grady White boats may be available. As the coast is only 45-50 miles from Saint Cloud, you may find that a center Console boat or a walkaround boat is ideal for those who wish to have the dual functionality of angling as well as family leisure. Look for boats which have substantial seating, fold down transom seating, live bait wells, forward console seating, and casting deck/leisure lounge convertibility.

Small Town Life

Saint Cloud City is known for “Celebrating Small Town Life”. The architecture, culture, and the boating reflect this. There are not a huge number of larger boats.
