BoatU.S. Magazine Names Top Boating Towns of 2026
Every few years, the editors of award-winning BoatU.S. Magazine search the country to find the best places for boaters to live, boat, raise young skippers, or retire. In this year’s September/October issue, associate editor Kelsey Bonham Bailey and contributing editor Mike Longman share their list of “Top Boating Towns.” The towns were selected based on a variety of factors, including access to the water, availability of marinas and marine services, and variety of boating lifestyles and activities.
The feature also draws on qualitative research and the BoatUS editorial team's decades of boating expertise to identify destinations that offer an exceptional blend of amenities, services, and cultural and educational attractions.
“Although measurable variables such as water access and cost of living were significant factors, it was the intangibles that really made these particular towns stand out,” said associate editor and co-author Bonham Bailey. “Natural beauty, a strong boating culture, a rich maritime legacy, accessible on-water activities for the whole family – those are what make a true boating town.”
Stuart, Florida: For boaters seeking ‘Old Florida’ charm. Known as the sailfish capital of the world, Stuart combines year-round warm weather with inshore and offshore boating opportunities and boasts one of Florida’s most accommodating boating infrastructures.
