SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Labor Day is just around the corner, and to celebrate, Redfin (www.redfin.com), the next-generation real estate brokerage, released a list of the 10 best cities for boaters. With help from Discover Boating, Redfin determined which regions have the most waterfront property for sale, the longest boating seasons, the largest boating communities and more.

1. Naples, Florida
2. Baton Rouge, Louisiana
3. Jacksonville, Florida
