Marina Near John Steinbeck Waterfront Park in Sag Harbor
What to Expect on Your First Visit
Quick Summary:
Your first visit to our marina near John Steinbeck Waterfront Park starts with a slip review and a walk of the docks. We match the slip to your boat's length, beam, and draft, show you your route from parking to your cleats, and talk through seasonal timelines for haul-out, storage, and spring launch.
When you arrive, you will meet with our team and review your slip assignment against your vessel's actual measurements. We take boats from 13 to 57 feet with a 5-foot maximum draft, and matching hull to slip is the first job. Then we walk the docks together. You will see your slip, the power and water hookups, and the shortest path from the parking area to your boat.
We also talk weather. This stretch of the Northeast coast gets nor'easters, and our cove's big advantage is that it is protected on three sides, so the water stays calmer than the open bays when conditions turn. We go over how we handle storm watches and when haul-out decisions come into play, so nothing about a rough forecast is a surprise.
- Slip size and configuration matched to your boat's real measurements, not guesses.
- A walk of the route from your car to your slip, including hookup locations.
- Power, high-pressure water, and high-speed WiFi at every slip on new IPE docks.
- A clear rundown of storm planning and who to reach after hours. We are open 24 hours.
- Seasonal timelines for spring launch, fall haul-out, and winter storage.
A lot of first visits are really upgrade conversations. Boaters already keep a boat somewhere else and want a bigger slip, better power, or calmer water. Our crew is used to those comparisons and will walk you through what a move looks like. We offer free estimates on dockage and winter storage, so you get real numbers, not ranges.

The park sits on the village waterfront near the bridge to North Haven. Our marina near John Steinbeck Waterfront Park is at 51 Pine Neck Ave, about 3 miles west. Most visitors make the drive in 7 to 10 minutes.

During peak summer weekends, especially Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings, village traffic picks up. Plan a few extra minutes then, particularly if you have a timed departure.
Once you are here, our lot sits right next to the docks and slips are a short walk from parking. Check in with our team when you arrive and we will confirm your slip and answer questions. If you are coming for a charter or a service appointment, checking in first means the right person meets you at the right slip.
Why Waterfront Park Boaters Choose Us
Boaters from the blocks around John Steinbeck Waterfront Park tend to want the same things. A slip that is easy to reach, gear handled right, and a marina that treats them like neighbors. That is the business we run. The Yacht Hampton group took over this marina in June 2023, and our owner, Joe Ialacci, is often on the docks himself.
Many longtime owners are also done with the parts of ownership that get old fast: winterizing, shrink wrapping, slip upkeep. That is where our Boat Club and FleetShare membership fits. You get time on the water without the driveway full of gear. And if simplifying means going electric, we are the New York distributor for Rand and Vision Marine electric boats. You can see one at the dock before deciding it is your next boat.
- 26 slips total, with 2 for transient visitors. Max draft is 5 feet.
- Brazilian IPE docks rebuilt in 2023, WiFi, and a Mediterranean-inspired Beach Club.
- New York distributor for Rand and Vision Marine electric boats.
- Winter boat storage with free estimates, handy when you do not want gear in the driveway all season.
- Boat Club and FleetShare memberships for time on the water without full ownership.
We have run boats out of this cove on Mill Creek since 1953, and the marina is open 24 hours because boating does not stop at 5 p.m. Text or call 631-500-7777, or email captain@yachthampton.com.
