I'm looking for advice on marinas where we could fit from Long Island up to Marblehead. We will be living on the boat, sailing and also doing some road trips to explore New England. After summer is over, we're taking the kids out of school and then heading for Panama, so this is the beginning of our great adventure! Any advice on Marinas that you think could handle her would be great. (We are also using Active Captain of course but I find multiple sources of data much more valuable).


Thank-you!

Hi Christian,
We Also we're trying to find a reasonable priced haul out last summer up east also,
As we have a 28 foot beam
Price seem to vary from $800.00 to $4500.00 just for haul out and down
Found Hinckley just up from Newport RI,
reasonable price and good servic (but helped being lifted in slow season (August) for yard,being flexible helps.
Enjoyed our time soooo much from Long Island to Maine we decided to stay for another season and looking forward to it,before also heading down to Panama late in 2017.
Mainly anchored and pick up moorings to save costs
