Castaways Yacht Club

I just bought my first boat in October of 2019.
Castaways Yacht Club has been amazing. It has easy access to the sound but is also protected.
There is a pool and restaurant which is really a great bonus. Joe the Manager is always available and has given me great advice. Bill the owner is a great guy and really knows everything you need to know about all types of boats and the places to go on the sound. The people that I have met have been warm and inviting and are eager to help. The service dept is top notch as well. It really is a great place to spend time with friends and family. We are looking forward to spending many summers at Castaways.

We are new boat owners who took possession of our new boat in May of 2019. Bill is an amazing owner who also happens to be a very patient teacher. The dock community has also been so warm and inviting. We couldn't be happier here and with our purchase.

Castaways Yacht Club is a unique marina. It is a concierge operation where the excellent staff will provide virtually any service one desires. This extends to repairs, cleaning, equipment purchase, and fueling the boat in the owner’s absence.

Castaways’ physical plant is impressive. It has roomy slips, a large lift, a gas/diesel dock, pool and restaurant. It is located behind Davenport Neck and therefore protected from storms. Indeed, I understand it weathered Hurricane Sandy without sustaining any damage.

Overseeing the operation is the owner, Bill Michaelis. He is at Castaways seven days a week and strictly supervises the highly competent operation. He is also absolutely honest, a rare commodity these days.

During my 18 years of boating on Long Island Sound, I have seasonally rented slips at Norwalk, Stamford, Stratford, and Three Mile Harbor. Frequently, I have rented at different marinas simultaneously. I can honestly say that Castaways is the best marina I’ve been in.

I have been boating 15 yrs. 14 of which spent on the Hudson River. Bought a 2013 49 GT from Castaways and kept boat at the Castaways Yacht Club. First season at the club. Very happy with all my slip neighbors. Everyone always willing to lend a hand when docking. Staff and ownership have been very accommodating and go above and beyond dealing with boat owner issues that always seem to arise. Very dog friendly which is a huge plus. Well protected and slips have plenty of water depth. My wife and I made the right choice to switch to boating on the sound. !!!! Happy to be here!!

I am a member of a Neighboring marina and needed to be hauled out for repair. Castaways owner and staff treated me like I was their best customer. I was hauled out and placed on my trailer faster than expected. I highly recommend this facility !!! Great job and Thanks !!!
