Best Instagram Accounts for Boaters

As I write this, I am literally watching snowflakes slowly meander down from a featureless grey sky to the grass on my front lawn. We don’t get a lot of snow here in Chapel Hill, NC where Atlas Boatworks is based, but we get enough of a winter to keep the boating to a minimum in the winter months. It can make the winter long and leave us longing for warmer days. 

Unless you live well south of us, you might be in a similar boat (pun intended). To help you through those tough days, start by checking out our Inspiration page with pictures of the Atlas Boatworks 23F bay boat. After you’ve done that, we humbly offer a list of Instagram accounts for boaters that we love.

This list isn’t all-inclusive, comprehensive, or maybe even our favorites, but it will help you kill hours of time when you are inevitably supposed to be doing something more, quote, “Productive.” Enjoy.

The Qualified Captain chronicles everything that can go wrong in the boating world. Runaway boats, boat ramp backing debacles, groundings, and more are all covered here. Sometimes it is educational and sometimes it is infuriating, but it is always entertaining. 

I used to comb the classifieds of our local newspaper, The Bonita Banner, when I was growing up looking for fixer-upper boats. Now they just get delivered to my feed by Dock Deals. Browsers unite!

I feel like Haulover Inlet in Miami gets way more attention than it should. That doesn’t mean we don’t watch, though. You can watch as boats get owned by the steep waves and heavy boat traffic. It can be a little cringy. If that’s your thing, you’ll love it. 

If you are into looking at new boats of all sizes, then CCO is for you. They do walk-throughs on all sizes and models (As long as they are center consoles). With over 12k posts, you’ll never hit the bottom of this account. 

Lastly, don’t sleep on Atlas Boatworks. Give us a like and subscribe as we cover all things with the Atlas Boatworks 23F bay boat. We chronicle the builds of new boats, design items, trips we’ve taken, and lots more.

  • Legit 4”-ish draft on a ready-for-power boat. No fuel, no engine, but complete otherwise. Final, fully loaded drafts land in the 8”-12” range depending on options.
