Boating in Louisiana: Sportsman's Paradise, From Pontchartrain to the Gulf
Of the 462 boats and yachts for sale in Louisiana on YachtBazar today, the median asking price is $42,999. By type, the most-listed here are powerboats (273) and center console boats (41). That mix fits a
state that has put "Sportsman's Paradise" on its license plates for generations: the marsh
between the Mississippi delta and the Texas line is inshore redfish and speckled-trout water,
and ports like Venice and Grand Isle put the offshore Gulf within reach of a day's run.
The listings cluster around greater New Orleans. Marrero and Metairie are Jefferson Parish — the west bank of the Mississippi and the
south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, respectively — while Madisonville and Mandeville sit directly
across the lake on the north shore, where the Tchefuncte River meets Pontchartrain. The lake
itself is broad, brackish and protected — closer to bay boating than open Gulf — which is why so
much of the state's family powerboat inventory lives within an hour of New Orleans. South and
west of the city the water changes character: the Barataria and Terrebonne marshes below Houma,
the Atchafalaya Basin, and the Calcasieu estuary at Lake Charles are shallow-draft country where
bay boats, skiffs and aluminum hulls earn their keep, with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
threading the whole coast together.
Marrero, New Orleans, Kenner, Metairie and Madisonville carry the most listings statewide, and Yamaha, Scarab and Chaparral are the most-listed makes. See the
