Finding a boat near Fernandina Beach

On the Georgia and Florida border and to the topmost east of the state, you will find Yulee. Hugged by an assortment of rivers and only a short ride up 95 from Jacksonville, this town provides a great opportunity for the boat seeker to find offshore Atlantic boats as well as freshwater pre-owned boats for sale in Yulee. Should you wish to purchase a boat in Yulee, here is what you should know.

History and brief facts

Yulee is over a hundred years old, established in 1893. The area was named for David Yulee, a territorial delegate to congress. It was Yulee who founded the Florida Railroad for which he was the president of that committee. And although the area is rather small, the territory has a rather large population. For a city which is only 23 square miles, there are over 13,000 people residing within its borders. Additionally, there are 10 neighborhoods close to Yulee and Jacksonville.

Many Waters around Yulee

One of the key benefits for boat seekers in the Yulee area are the number of creeks, rivers, and streams. Anglers will find that these waters are a bit sporadic in depth and that the waters mingle in and out of the Georgia/Florida State line. Using Bay Boats in this area is ideal as well as the smaller Deep Vee fishing boats, the fish arounds, the flat bottom, airboats (where permitted), and pontoon boats. Some of the rivers around Yule include Nassau River, Back River, Alligator Creek, Amelia River, Kingsley Creek, Soap Creek, Jackson Creek, Lanceford Creek, St. Mary’s River, Jolly River, and Bells River. Those who wish to use their boat for both freshwater as well as for offshore Atlantic deep sea fishing will want to launch his or her boat from St. Mary’s River as there is direct access, or from Back River near Bird Island, as there is direct access. Keep in mind that on the Back River you have Talbot Island and Little Talbot island State Park and on the Norther Part near St. Mary’s River you have Fort Clinch State Park.

For those who wish to boat directly from Yulee, you will need to use A1A and launch in Lanceford creek connect to Amelia River then to St. Mary’s River. Again, pay attention to the water depth as it varies dramatically through the year.

Buying a larger boat in Yulee

You may be able to find the larger offshore boats for sale in Yulee. Because you have direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, and because the area is a thriving spot for shrimp boating as well as other fishing offshore, there may be a few angler boats for sale including the HydraSport, Boston Whaler, SeaHunter, Sea Hunt, Sea Vee, Jupiter, and perhaps even a Viking Yacht.

Be Careful of that borderline

There is nothing wrong with purchasing a boat from Georgia. However, there are a few cautionary items when purchasing a pre-owned boat from across the state line. Firstly, you need to consider the location and if you can get the boat easily with a tow behind boat trailer. Secondly, potential buyers should secure a transferable tag and registration on the vessel. Some vessels in Georgia do not require tags. However, in Florida all vessels must be registered and have a tag, with only a few exceptions. Finally, pre-owned boats from Georgia should have the engines and mechanical work checked thoroughly before purchase.
