Yachts For Sale In Stamford

The boating scene in the Lock City is focused around the city’s Harbor Point District, a lively redeveloped maritime area south of Downtown that is flanked by the East and West Branches of Stamford Harbor and lined with bustling marinas. Once a leading commercial seaport, Stamford still hosts the annual CMA Shipping Expo each March, one of the largest maritime industry events in the country, while regular boaters in this area will recognize the iconic Stamford Harbor Lighthouse, an offshore visual marker that welcomes vessels approaching from the Sound. Fishing and sailing are perhaps the most popular boating activities in Stamford, while voyages to New York City or Long Island’s captivating north shore are also within easy reach.

The busiest docking spots in town are found up the East Branch, where a range of extensive facilities and floating marinas pepper the waterfront. Check out Safe Harbor Yacht Haven to discover 135 slips, or head toward the Freedom Boat Club of Stamford, a large venue with member’s only boat rentals. Further upstream you will discover Harbor House Marina and Czescik Marina, two linked docking spots with a combined 270 slips between them and a sheltered riverside setting.

On the West Branch there are plenty more marinas, including TGM Anchor Point Marina with 72 slips and boat rentals, the genteel 60-slip Ponus Yacht Club and the impressive Harbor Point Marina, a multi-venue destination with hundreds of slips, fueling stations, on-site restaurants and jovial bars. Thanks to strategically placed breakwaters to the south of Stamford Harbor there’s also the opportunity to utilize this vast space as a temporary mooring field, ideal for boating visitors to town who are voyaging on a budget. Also check out the inlets to the eastern edge of the city, where you can find the 50-slip Cove Island Marina and the Seaview House Marina, a 44-slip facility that is perfectly located for access to scenic Greenway and Vincent Islands. Elsewhere in town you can also explore the Stamford Yacht Club, an exclusive and upscale retreat founded in 1890 that impresses with beautiful club facilities and a regular calendar of events, including the New England Lighthouse Trophy and the Vineyard Race.
