I recently purchased a Beneteau 45 from Castaways Marina in April 2024. I am no stranger to the boating community, having operated and owned various boats since 1981. As an attorney, I represented several boating businesses and marinas, so I understand the business from both sides. My first experience with Castaways was at the 2024 New York boat show where I met Chris and his daughter on the boat that I would eventually purchase. Ironically, at the time that I saw the Beneteau 45, which I liked, I did not think it was the right size boat for me as […]

We purchased a brand new boat and it was first class all the way. The experience was very natural and the entire team made you feel like family. We spent many hours at the club and in the marina. We never wanted to go home. Thank you Bill, Christian and Joe for the wonderful experience..

I’ve been boating for the better part of my life and I’ve kept vessels at several marinas before finally getting introduced to Castaways Yacht Club.

This staff consistently, and without fail always respects your privacy while serving all of your needs especially looking after your boat when you are not there. There are many places you can choose to bring your boat and your family however, Castaways, you would not need […]

I bought a new Beneteau 48 Swift Traveler through Castaways Yacht Club this year. I could not be more pleased with the service provided, from Bill the Owner, who took me on my first cruise, to Joe the Manager, Tom the head boat mechanic and Christian the sales broker. All proved very helpful and gave me the time needed to understand and sail my new boat and master the important electronics. I recommend Castaways to all boating enthusiasts and potential yacht buyers.

I have been a member at Castaways Yacht Club for 3 years. They have a Pool, Bar, restaurant, gas dock, and in house mechanics. They make boating easy and care free. Castaways is a wonderful place to keep your boat and spend time with your family.

I purchased a new Beneteau boat from Castaways and became of a member at the marina. The experience overall was excellent. The staff at Castaways have tremendous knowledge of the boating industry, and unlike other dealerships, they truly stay with you to make sure everything is done right and you are completely comfortable understanding the complexities of a new boat. All the staff members have an incredible amount of experience. They are honest and treat their customers with respect. After my purchase was complete, the owner of Castaways, Bill Michaelis, and the sales professional, Christian Brabender, spent a lot of […]

This is our first year at Castaways and looking forward to many more. Exceptional staff, friendly and courteous. Great location. Large pool with a walk up food/bar, ping pong table, shuffle board. Just a nice place to kick back and relax when not on the boat!

Excellent both in facility and people. Special thanks to Bill, Joe, Tom and Scott. Helped me get my new boat ready to cruise; will be back in the Spring. Warm, friendly, atmosphere at the marina and well sheltered and well maintained. A special place.

Had a great experience using Castaways, specifically with Bill Michaels. I purchased a 41′ boat in 2022 and these guys helped me get the boat of my dreams. They’ve gone above and beyond in all facets from choosing details on the boat, to delivery and servicing. They are extremely dependable and if you’re considering buying a boat, look no further!

This is my fourth season at Castaways Yacht club and it’s only gotten better year after year. It’s conveniently located with easy access to the LI Sound, and a members only pool and a restaurant with delicious food. The staff is super helpful and reliable, they are responsive, courteous and professional.
