Long Branch Ice Boat & Yacht

Long Branch, United States
Type
Harbour

Member-operated yacht club with a boat ramp on the Shrewsbury River at Long Branch, New Jersey, on the Pleasure Bay reach.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reached from the Shrewsbury River via the Pleasure Bay branch. The site has a launch ramp rather than transient pontoon space. Visiting crews should call ahead, as berthing is reserved for members. Patten Point Yacht Club lies 0.1 nm to the SE and Kelly's Landing Marina 0.1 nm to the SW.

Practical

This is a private club, not a public marina, so casual visitor berths are not on offer. Long Branch town has shops, fuel and rail services within a short distance for crews stopping in the area.

History

The club keeps a working winter fleet and a collection of historic ice boats, artefacts and photographs. Members build skiffs and ice boats and sail on hard water in the cold season.

Story

The club runs Thunder on the Shrewsbury, a race that draws New Jersey speed skiffs and other fast boats from across the country.
