I just called 631-597-6171 and no answer. I wanted to know if they have all 45+ slips open and available. Does anyone know if they completed the expected improvements like dredging to make more slips available?
Also what's the scoop with mostly 10' beam slip and a few 14' I thought there were more to accomodate larger boats, at least 12'-13' beam. Could that have changed since the web page was created ? Strange that they would say 4' draft and 10' beam in the same sentance.
From the Web Site:
In addition to a one and a half mile long boardwalk trail through the Sunken Forest, Sailors Haven also offers a visitor center; snack bar/convenience store/gift shop; picnic tables and grills; lifeguarded beach (summer only); a 48-slip public marina with electricity, water and a free boat pump-out station; restrooms and showers.
The Sailors Haven Marina can accommodate boats with a draft to 4 feet and a 10-foot beam. A few slips can handle up to 14-foot wide vessels. Most slips have electric and water (extra fee charged). There is a 14-day limit on each stay. Reservations are not accepted at this time.
Other Information from the site:
You may stay overnight at the Watch Hill or Sailors Haven marina, operated within Fire Island National Seashore by Fire Island Concessions, LLC. Both electric and non-electric sites are available, and rates vary by size of vessel. There is a 14-day limit of stay at National Park Service marinas.
Other public marinas on Fire Island include the Town of Brookhaven's Davis Park Marina and Great Gun Marina (see map), which provide lower fees for town residents but may accommodate non-residents' vessels; hourly rates may also be available at these facilities.
The Town of Islip also maintains a marina on Fire Island at Atlantique, with a similar rate structure. Private marinas on Fire Island include those at Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines, (which have seasonal and limited transient slips) and several establishments that provide a place to dock on a short-term basis.
You may also anchor off-shore, outside of channels. There is a 14-consecutive-day limit for all overnight stays in the park (except in the designated wilderness) or at park facilities.
