Vermont Boating

One common misconception about Vermont is the existence of a seacoast. Of all the New England states, Vermont is the only one that is completely landlocked. However, the absence of a coastline has not hindered boaters from flocking to Vermont for some outdoor fun. The plethora of lakes and ponds throughout the Green Mountain state offers more than enough boating and waterfront options for all.

New Hampshire Boating

With hundreds of lakes, ponds, and rivers, New Hampshire is a boaters' paradise. Summer residents usually get their boats in the water by mid June and enjoy the season until October. Boat rentals and boat sales are available at many New Hampshire marinas, and they contribute to New Hampshire's robust tourist economy.

Maine Boating

Maine has over 2,500 lakes and 3,500 miles of beautiful coastline that are perfect for everyone's boating pleasure. While many of the lakes are part of a state park, there are also locations that are maintained by local groups. This allows for more access points and makes it easier for everyone to get on the water.

Connecticut Boating

Connecticut has often been considered by many to be one of America's most beautiful places to boat, and it offers hundreds of lakes, rivers, ponds and Sounds to choose from. Spend some time fishing, sailing and kayaking at Long Island Sound the next time you visit Connecticut.

Massachusetts Boating

In addition to the Massachusetts coastline's picturesque beauty, there are also hundreds of inland lakes and rivers to drop your boat in at. From Cape Cod Canal and Boston Harbor to Quabbin Reservoir and Birch Hill Dam, there's many water spots to choose from. If you have a larger craft, plan on spending time at Cape Cod or Buzzards Bay, as many of the inland lakes are small and have many boating restrictions.

Rhode Island Boating

With many yachting and sailing clubs, boat builders, slips and marinas, there's no doubt Rhode Island is a boater's paradise. Don't let the size of this tiny state fool you - Rhode Island is brimming with fun boating options, as well as charters, tours and races. Newport's deep water harbor has hosted the America's Cup race for many years, and Providence hosts an impressive boat show annually.
