Boats for Sale in Suwannee

A fishing village on the Gulf

Suwannee Florida has a population of about 300 people and rests in the Big Bend region of the state. Hugging its boarder is the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, a refuge spanning 82.81 square miles. Unlike other refuges in Florida, this one was not created for the preservation of a specific species but rather to protect water quality. While the park does not have accommodations for boating (though fishing from the docks and the shore are permitted with the correct licensing), you can fish the Suwannee river and some of the creeks in the area. You are in luck if you are looking for fishing boats for sale in Suwannee.

A city oriented to fishing

Suwannee Florida was built upon fishing. It is considered to be a fishing village that caters to both the freshwater fisherman/woman and to the saltwater angler. The community rests among an abundance of creeks and rivers including Lock Creek, Salt Creek, Harris Creek, Suwannee River, North Double Barrel Creek, Shingle Creek, Monden Creek, and Demory Creek, not to mention the numerous small inlets and connecting streams and creeks to these bodies of water.

Fishing in Suwannee River

Skiffs and bay boats used in the river will need to keep an eye for the No Wake zones. Boaters should be aware that Suwannee River has low waters which makes the clearance of sandbars problematic. Boats should be able to navigate in 2’ water or have a means of detecting obstacles. Freshwater fish include largemouth bass, Suwannee bass, Blue Gill, Redear Sunfish, Channel Catfish, Redbreast sunfish, and the Spotted Sunfish. There are bag limits so check with the local boating authorities before you launch your vessel.
