Boating in New York: Long Island, the Hudson, and Two Great Lakes

Of the 328 boats and yachts for sale in New York on YachtBazar today, the median asking price is $34,999, with listings running $5,000 to $1,700,000 across 17 to 55 ft. By type, the most-listed here are powerboats (170), fishing boats (42) and cruisers & motor yachts (39). Long Island has protected water on both sides: South Shore towns like Babylon and Seaford sit on the Great South Bay, with Long Island Sound to the north, which suits sailing and cruising boats.

The state's waters split into three distinct regions. Downstate is Long Island: the Sound on the north shore, the Great South Bay behind the barrier beaches on the south, and Atlantic access through the inlets for offshore fishing boats. The Hudson River runs from New York Harbor up to Troy, where the canal system takes over — the Erie Canal heading west toward the Great Lakes and the Champlain Canal north to Lake Champlain — so the coast and the inland lakes are connected by water. Upstate is big-lake country: Rochester sits on Lake Ontario; Buffalo is on Lake Erie; and between them the Finger Lakes and the Thousand Islands stretch of the St. Lawrence keep boats far from salt water. It is a northern season, though — haul-out and winter storage are part of the cost of ownership here.

Canandaigua, Lindenhurst and Rochester carry the most listings statewide, and Sea Ray, Grady-White and Boston Whaler are the most-listed makes.
