The river is deep with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico from the subject property. The Withlacoochee accommodates boats of all types - sailboats, yachts, shrimp boats, trawlers, and all types of commercial and non-commercial fishing boats. The average depth of the river from the subject property to the Gulf is around 13 to 15 feet even at low tide. There is an average 4 feet tide swing during Spring tides, and on the Neap tides as little 1.5 to 2 feet. The water at the dock is fresh and your motor is rinsed free of salt water by the time you arrive at the house. There is a year round Manatee zone in the river in front of the house; therefore, boat traffic is required to keep wakes at a minimum.

There are three local marinas - one for power boats, and two that welcome both power and sail boats. There is a city boat ramp on the river next to the local area Coast Guard Station. There are also boat ramps at two of the marinas and there is a public boat ramp at the end of Highway 40 directly on the Gulf. There are numerous golf courses within a short drive from the property.
