Where do boat rentals depart from in Sag Harbor?

Yacht Hampton Marina boat rentals depart from 51 Pine Neck Avenue in Noyac, a 12-minute drive from Sag Harbor Village. Some Yacht Hampton charters depart from 1 Long Wharf Drive in Sag Harbor Village (the Water Taxi Slip). Your booking confirmation will tell you which one.

Do I need a boating license to rent a boat?

For captained charters, no. The USCG-licensed captain runs the boat. For self-drive bareboat rentals, New York State strongly recommends a Boater Safety Certificate for the driver. The minimum rental age is 21.

Are fuel and gratuity included in the rental rate?

Fuel is usually extra and is added at the end of the trip based on use. Captain gratuity is not included; plan for 15 to 20 percent on captained charters. Sales tax applies.

What's your weather cancellation policy?

Captains will not set sail in unsafe weather or during a small craft advisory. If we cancel for weather, you can reschedule or get a refund per our published policy. Light rain alone is usually not a reason to cancel, but persistent rain or storms are.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes, you can bring your own food and drinks on most rentals. We can also arrange catering or on-board service on larger yachts.

Pets are generally welcome with advance notice. Please tell us when you book so we can prep the right boat.

What's the minimum age to rent a boat?

The primary renter must be 21 or older. There is no minimum age for guests on the boat, but children under 13 must wear a life jacket while underway.

How far in advance should I book?

For July and August weekends, book 4 to 8 weeks ahead. For weekdays or shoulder season (May to mid-June, late September, October), 1 to 2 weeks is usually enough. Last-minute bookings sometimes work on weekdays.

Do you have electric boats?

Yes. We are the New York distributor for Rand Boats and Vision Marine. We offer rentals on the Rand Supreme 27 and the 22-foot Yacht Hampton Electric. Both are quiet, clean, and great for shorter cruises.

Winter Boat Storage in Sag Harbor, NY

Cold weather is hard on a boat left in the water. Freezing water can crack an engine block or a hull. A good winter home prevents that. Yacht Hampton has stored boats on the East End since 1953, on a calm, protected cove off Noyac Road.

What we handle

We take care of the whole off-season, not just a parking spot. Here is what that looks like:

Haul-out at the end of the season.
Secure storage at our private, staffed marina.
Optional shrink wrapping to keep snow and ice off.
Optional winterization for the engine and plumbing.
Spring launch when the water warms up.
You pick the pieces you want. We give a free estimate first, so there are no surprises.

Why store at Yacht Hampton

Our cove is quiet and shielded from rough water. The marina is on site and staffed all year, so your boat is never left alone in a distant lot. You stay close enough to stop by, and we offer competitive storage rates with no hidden fees. The team that stores your boat is the same team that launches it, so nothing gets lost between fall and spring.

Add winterization and a wrap in one trip

Storing in one spot saves you time and trouble. As a full-service boat storage hub, we haul your boat, wrap it, winterize it, and store it. In spring, we launch it, start it up, and check it over. The same people see your boat all winter, so nothing falls through the cracks. When you are ready for the water again, see spring launch.

How to reserve

Spots fill as the season winds down, and the larger ones go first. Call early in the fall to hold a place. We will quote your boat and lock in your dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle haul-out and spring launch?
Yes. We pull your boat at the end of the season and launch it in spring. One team does both, so the timing lines up.

When should I book winter storage?
Book in late summer or early fall. The bigger spots go first, so earlier is better.

How far ahead should I book storage?
Book in late summer or early fall. Spaces fill as the season ends, and the bigger spots go first. Earlier is always safer.

Do you store trailered boats and jet skis?
Yes. We store trailered boats and personal watercraft. You can add a wrap or winterization in the same visit.

How do I get a winter storage estimate?
Call 631-500-7777 or email captain@yachthampton.com. Estimates on storage are free.
