Riverside Basin Marina

I've had my boat here for many years. This marina is excellent. Facilities are very clean, including the bathrooms and showers. Customer service is excellent, and they are able to do full maintenance and troubleshooting for both boats and motors. The slips all have electricity and running water, though I don't think the water at the boat is potable (check with marina to be certain). The marina also has gazebos, picnic tables, grills, and fish cleaning facilities. They have indoor storage over winter for outboard motors. They don't have a restaurant though one is within walking distance. They are adjacent to the state park, so seabird viewing is excellent. Crabs and fish are abundant in the marina basin. Gulls and swifts making a mess on the boats is a bit of a problem. The marina location is also very good. No bridges block access to the sound. The marina is far enough from the shore that it is sheltered from major storms such as Sandy. The only concern is that the channel out can be shallow at extreme low tides such as during a super moon. You probably shouldn't locate a boat here with a draft greater than 5'. My boat has a 5' draft with the keel down, but I exit the harbor with the keel retracted, so I don't have problems. I have hit bottom when I experimented with the keel all the way down. Prices for a slip at this marina are very competitive, among the lowest I have found in Connecticut. Prices for boat services I have used have been very fair. I've relied on them for bottom painting and outboard motor maintenance, both preventive and for repairs. They will also do trailer maintenance. A fishing boat that takes fisherman on excursions is also located here. I haven't been on it, but it is a nice looking boat and I think it would be a fun thing to try out.
