The most popular runs begin close to town. Boaters can launch or dock along the Black River, cruise past Port Huron’s waterfront, idle under the Blue Water Bridge, or head into Lake Huron for a shoreline run when conditions are right. James C. Acheson Marina, operated by the City of Port Huron, has 95 slips and dockside amenities including electricity, water, ice, restrooms, and showers, while Bridge Harbour Marina serves boaters on the Black River with access to Lake Huron and the St. Clair River.
Boats in Port Huron are used with true Great Lakes variety. A pontoon might spend the afternoon carrying family and friends along protected water; a center console or sportfishing boat can head out early for trout, salmon, walleye, perch, and bass action; and an express cruiser or motor yacht becomes a private waterfront lounge for entertaining, overnighting, and watching freighters move through the river. The St. Clair River adds real scale to the experience: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers describes it as a 40-mile Great Lakes connecting channel flowing south from Lake Huron into Lake St. Clair, with 45.8 million tons of commerce passing through in 2022.
The boating numbers behind the lifestyle are impressive. The U.S. Coast Guard counted 11,674,073 registered recreational vessels nationwide in 2024, including 795,494 in Michigan; nationally, mechanically propelled recreational vessels included 76,407 boats from 40 to 65 feet and 11,255 over 65 feet. NMMA reported 2024 U.S. recreational marine retail expenditures of $55.6 billion, while pre-owned boat sales totaled 858,798 units and made up 78.3% of all transactions.
