Port Charlotte is a boater’s paradise with more than 165 miles of waterways and access to the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you enjoy the open ocean or want to explore the Peace and Myakka rivers, Port Charlotte is the place to go.
The Boat House has a wide variety of new and used boats for sale in Port Charlotte, suited to a variety of recreational activities such as cruising or fishing. Whatever you want to do on the water, we have the right boat for you.
What to Consider When Buying a Boat
When buying a boat, there are two things to consider: Your desired activity and your budget. Another factor is how many people you routinely take out, which can affect the kind of boat you need. How often are you going to use the boat? Infrequent users may be better off with a boat small enough to trailer, as might those who want to be able to explore areas outside Port Charlotte. However, if you want to experience the open water, you will need a larger boat that is seaworthy.
Center console boats are the best for fishing as they easily allow you to drop a line from either side. Bowriders are particularly versatile and are great cruising boats. Deck boats are good for both fishing and watersports. In Port Charlotte, it’s worth considering a bay boat that can handle shallow water.
Boat Storage Options
When you aren’t using your boat, storage is important.
We offer both dry storage (indoors) and wet (at a slip). Our indoor storage is fully enclosed and climate-controlled, while our storage yards are completely secure and fully fenced.
We also offer valet dry stack storage and will bring your boat to you when you show up and have it in the water for you.
We also store trailers. Our wet slips are well maintained, and your boat will be inspected regularly and necessary maintenance taken care of; then, you can just come and sail away whenever you want to.
We provide professional winterization and summerization options, and can store your boat safely through storm season and then help you get back on the water as soon as the last hurricane is gone.
Should I Buy a New or Used Boat?
A new boat will give you state-of-the-art features and the knowledge that the boat has never been neglected or abused. However, a used boat can save you quite a bit of money. Purchasing a pre-owned boat from a reputable dealer helps make sure that the boat is in good condition, with any work that needs to be completed. If you have the budget for it, new boats are often better, but boats last for years if well cared for. Sometimes, you can find a used boat that is only a year or two old.
If you are struggling to afford the boat you want, we offer quality financing alternatives. Our financing offers you competitive rates, flexible loan terms, and a low down payment.
We can also provide premium protection for your new boat in the form of an extended service contract.
But we also have a wide selection of used boats to choose from and take boats in trade if you are seeking to upgrade to a larger boat or your needs have changed.
