Boats for Sale in Welaka

The Bass Capital of the World

With a slogan of being the bass capital of the world, Welaka Florida draws a number of avid fishermen/women per year. Boat seekers are very likely to find boats which have proven themselves in the lakes and ponds of the river, specifically the Johns River. And though the town is located on near some large freshwater, it is also close to the Atlantic, diversifying the selection of potential boats for sale in Welaka. If you are in Welaka and looking at boats for sale, here is what you should know.

Right on the River

Welaka is on the Johns River. It is on the Southern point of the river which empties into Lake George. As such, the boat selection that you find may be larger than if you were to just seek a boat for river and stream fishing. Keep in mind that this is the bass capital of the world. The larger cabin cruiser boats with V hulls may be available. You might find a few Deep V boat brands on the market. Buyers should be cautious of the weight of the Deep V design as the lakes and freshwater available is commonly low and fluctuates often. Flat bottom boats, airboats, skiffs, fish arounds, and Bay boats are more suitable for those who will use the craft primarily for bass fishing in Welaka.

Close to St. Johns River is Crescent Lake and Lake Ocklawaha. Smaller ponds are speckled throughout the area to the East of Welaka.

A city catered to fish

To increase the tourism and fishing in Welaka, the city has a National Fish Hatchery. They also have an Aquarium with native and exotic fish. These two attractions help to stock the area as well as to bring awareness to the ecosystem of Welaka. Because the bass fishing is so popular in Welaka, there is a bag limit on the type and number of bass that you can catch. Also, if you decide not to fish on the Johns River but prefer to go to the Ocala National Forest, there will be stipulations on where and how many fish that you can catch. Again, the smaller anger boats will be the more popular selection for Welaka, as well as prove to be easier to trailer.

Going to the Atlantic Ocean

Gaining access to the Atlantic can be done by driving to 100. This connects to 95 and gives you several options for launching larger vessels. You might find that listings in Welaka have mini-yachts and luxury yachts docked on the Atlantic but listed for sale in Welaka. Check with the boat lister as you may be able to transfer the services of the marina upon purchasing the boat.

Boats which would be for sale in Welaka and docked on the Atlantic would be Oyster Yachts, Viking yachts, Deep Impact, Contender, and HydraSport boats. If you find a boat for sale in Welaka which has dual functionality, meaning that you can use it in the Atlantic as well as in Lake George, consideration should be given to transport as well as local boating regulations concerning using a boat with outboard engines. Check with the Florida Wildlife and boating division for specifications and regulations.
