Boats for Sale in Wildwood

Boats for sale in Wildwood Florida

The Wildwood of Florida was established in 1877, though it was not until 1908 when the first City Hall was constructed. Ironically, this was the same year that Kenneth Grahame introduced the Wind in the Willows, a classic centering around the Wildwood. In 1925 a new town hall was constructed, but it was not until 1958 that the Wildwood City Hall that you see today was constructed.

Wildwood is located along several freshwater bodies. As such, those who are seeking a boat for sale in Wildwood Florida may find several selections available. Here is what you should know when seeking a boat for sale in Wildwood.

An area of many ponds and lakes

Wildwood has several small ponds and lakes within its borders, specifically in the southern area of the town. These are mostly private or waters which are too small or shallow for fishing. However, as you head north in Wildwood, you come across a few larger lakes and ponds including Lake Okahumpka, Lake Deaton, Hogeye Sink, Lake Tilden,Evans Prarie, Gator Pond, and Lake Miona. Bass boats are preferred in this area, as well as the smaller fish around, or dual console boat. Larger outboards would not work in the water as the depth is too shallow.

Fishing in the lakes and ponds around Wildwood Florida has the potential bag of Largemouth bass, small mouth bass, crappie, Spotted bass, Catfish, White bass, and stripped bass. Keep in mind that Florida does have a bag limit per day and that certain species are limited to seasonal fishing. Check the Florida Wildlife Conservation site as well as the local boating stipulations for more details.

Florida’s Turnpike

If you are seeking a larger boat for sale such as a cabin cruiser, a center console angler boat like a HydraSport, a dual console, catamaran, or an Express Sport Cruiser boat for sale in Wildwood, you might be able to find such. The reason is that although the town is not oriented to such fishing and boating, Florida is. And as the Florida Turnpike runs straight through the Wlidwood, you may find that some boats have found there way into the town.

Additionally, if you are in Wildwood and seeking one of these larger vessels, even if you are looking for a miniature yacht, you might be able to acquire one as the Florida Turnpike does not limit the width of the boat you are purchasing and getting your boat to you would be easier than if you were to try to navigate some of the thinner roads of the state.

Getting your boat to the Gulf

Wildwood is almost centrally located for the state. As such, if you need to get your boat to salt water, you may find that you can get to Daytona about as quickly as you could to Spring Hill or one of the other locations to launch from the Gulf. To get to Daytona from Wildwood takes approximately 2 hours (about 80 miles). This is closer than a trip to St. Petersburg on the Gulf Side which is around 100 miles. A trip to Beverly Hills on the gulf is substantially shorter, only 35 miles.

The point is, that those in the Wildwood area may find that there are various boats listed for sale in Wildwood which are within an hour or two of the city. If you are seeking a Cigarette Racing boat, go to St. Petersburg and you may find one easier. A flat bottom boat would be more apt to be in the Wildwood boundries. Mini Yacts and full size cabins could possibly found in Daytona. Check the listing to know where the boat is docked, not just where the seller is located.
