Famously also known as The First State, Delaware is a top destination for many reasons. Stunning, dune-lined beaches border the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. Delaware River boasts over 190 miles of potential water sports fun, from jet skiing to motorboating and more. Delaware is a boater's paradise, and owning your own vessel gives you access to so much that this state has to offer.
There are waterways all across Delaware, from huge ponds to even bigger lakes to the Bay itself. Anglers can take advantage of fishing spots such as Lake Como in Smyrna, an idyllic spot with a dedicated boat ramp, picnic tables, and swimming areas. Or head to Indian River Inlet where it meets the ocean for a truly diverse range of fish species. The marina here is just opposite Burton Island Nature Preserve, so boaters can absorb the tranquility of nature among lush, green reeds and sandy beaches. Watch out for the Diamondback Terrapins!
When you own your own boat, you set the timetable for your time in Delaware. If you want to sail to Wilmington and enjoy the luxurious delights of the Riverfront all day, that’s your prerogative. See if you can spot the famous Tall Ship of Delaware, the Kalmar Nyckel. Or, simply while away the day exploring the many parks and restaurants of this stunning waterfront site.
