Knoxville boating provides the ultimate cruising ground. With many miles of coastline, and numerous lakes and ponds - Knoxville is a playground for boaters. For some, water sports is boating on a beautiful fresh water lake, or White Water Rafting down a high powered river. For others, it is kayaking the quiet inlets and coves and exploring hidden gems off the coast of Knoxville. Others are looking for river boat ride for a few hours. Then there are boaters that love to cruise the waterways exploring the many harbors and marinas on a yacht, power boat or sailboat. You can even rent a house boat.
Touring Knoxville's vast waterways by boat you can see everything from beaches and beautiful homes on rocky cliffs to remote farmland. One of the most spectacular views from waterways, is the Great Smoky Mountains with its towering peaks. You can visit full service marinas or quiet inlets.
Boat Registrations:
Tennessee law requires that all mechanically powered vessels (including federally documented recreational vessels) and all sailboats which are principally used in Tennessee must be registered. (Boats are not titled in Tennessee.) Mechanical propulsion includes electric trolling motors but does not include boats powered only by oars or paddles. Boats which require registration must be properly registered before using them upon any public water of Tennessee.
Currently registered boats from other states may use Tennessee waters unless Tennessee has become their state of principal use. Exception: Sailboats brought into Tennessee by persons from states that do not require numbering of sailboats are exempt from registration provided that Tennessee is not the state of principal use. State of principal use means the state on whose waters a vessel is used or to be used most, whether moored or underway, during a calendar year.
