Boating Destination Reviews for Travelers Along the Eastern Seaboard

Melbourne, Florida

Melbourne lies in the heart of an area you’ve probably long felt you’ve known about. Actually, you likely know very little about this special place. It’s yet another of the Sunshine State’s unexpected surprises.

Bermuda

Last night was the challenge. This morning — after more than 600 miles of ocean sailing and with a strong wind out of the west, a high overcast above Robin’s mast and Bermuda just over the horizon — should be the reward.

Pine Island Sound, Fla.

Light years ago Rob Modys left his job as a technology manager for a Miami bank to become a full-time fishing guide on the state’s west coast. “My wife was surprised. I was comfortably employed, with a steady paycheck, and I was going to be self-employed with an uncertain financial future,” he says. “But today she thinks it was the best move I’ve ever made.”

St. Andrews, New Brunswick

Boaters seeking unspoiled waters, uncrowded anchorages and the amenities of an upscale resort community increasingly are cruising Down East to St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. Atlantic Canada’s historic resort town lies near the head of Passamaquoddy Bay, on the east bank of the St. Croix River mouth, protected by Navy Island.

Not one to miss a good opportunity, he began spearing them with his broadsword. But a stingray can hide even in clear water. It buries itself just under the sand and waits.
