Planning to arrive by water? Overnight (transient) dockage on Long Island's East End is plentiful in some harbors and scarce in others, and on summer weekends the best-known villages fill up early. Below is every marina and town dock in our directory that we've found accepting transient boats, grouped west to east, with the largest boat each one lists.
Before you go
- Reserve early for July and August weekends. Sag Harbor, Greenport and Montauk are the hardest to get at short notice.
- Ask about depth at low water for your assigned slip, not just the channel.
- Carry your New York boating safety certificate. Since January 1, 2025, Brianna's Law requires every operator of a motorized boat in New York to hold one, regardless of age.
- Plan fuel and pump-out stops with our fuel dock and pump-out lists.

No boat? Still come by water
You can rent a center console or book a captained charter out of several East End harbors through Boatsetter, and anglers can compare Montauk and Shinnecock charter captains on FishingBooker. Looking for a whole season instead of a night? Browse slips for rent and sale.
FAQ
Do I need to reserve a transient slip in the Hamptons?
On summer weekends, yes, especially in Sag Harbor, Greenport and Montauk. Midweek and shoulder-season space is easier, but calling ahead is still wise because many marinas are mostly seasonal slips.
Which East End harbors take the largest yachts?
Check the max-length column above: a handful of marinas in Sag Harbor, Montauk and Greenport list room for large yachts. Always confirm slip depth and power with the dockmaster before arrival.
Do I need a license to operate a boat in New York?
New York requires a boating safety certificate rather than a license. Since January 1, 2025, every operator of a motorized vessel must have one, under Brianna's Law.
