Type: Harbour

Family-owned full-service marina on the west bank of the Connecticut River at Portland, roughly 20 nautical miles north of Long Island Sound.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reach the marina from Long Island Sound by entering the Connecticut River at Saybrook Point and running upstream past Essex, Hadlyme and East Haddam. The river is tidal up to Hartford, so allow for a fair tide when working upstream. Channel well marked but watch for shoaling east of Portland.

Practical

35 transient and seasonal berths for boats up to roughly 35 feet, shore power on the pontoons. Indoor and outdoor winter storage, a chandlery and certified service technicians on site. New and brokerage sales for Sabre, Back Cove and Regal.

Ashore

Riverfront Park in Middletown is a short hop across the river by tender or road. Connecticut River Museum at Essex is about 17 nautical miles downstream and worth a side trip by car or boat.
