About


Located only minutes from Montauk Inlet, when entering harbor going past the commercial fleet stay to the right (Western Heading) and look for the Montauk Marine Basin fuel dock sign. Pictured here is the harbor entrance looking north east. Montauk Marine Basin monitors VHF Channel 19. Call us for berth info, fuel dock clearance or a radio check. We are close to motels, restaurants, golf, tennis, horseback riding, boat rentals, shopping, and best of all great beaches. Montauk Marine is very close and within walking distance of the Gosman's Dock complex. Boaters even stay at Montauk Marine for afternoon and browse the shops and have a great lunch at nearby restaurants such as Swallow East, Dave's Grill, Sammy's and Manucci's all within a short walking distance of Montauk Marine Basin.

I have been to this marina before. They are extremely rude and dishonest. Chase lied about fully refunding the dockage fee on a same day dockage rental if there was an issue with the boat in transit to the marina and did not honor his word. He charged my credit card and refused to refund and now i have to dispute with the credit company. They do not answer emails and or calls either so be very careful!

Marina Response:
We do not offer refunds on mechanical based cancelations only weather which is stated clearly in our policy when you made the reservation. It also came to our attention that you had made a reservation at another marina that put you on a waiting list. We are an seasonal business with a small window to earn a living that we why we have a strict cancelation policy. The goal is to prevent people from taking advantage of a situation, like using another marina as a back up plan on a weekend in August.

First trip to Montauk. We will be back but not based on our stay at Montauk Marine Basin. Dock staff (1 or 2 kids at the gas dock) were friendly but don't seem to know much about boating. We also asked for recommendations on where to eat, etc. The dock hand didn't have very many good things to say about Montauk-which didn't make us feel great about our choice in trip. I encourage everyone to read the reviews of this marina before booking. Unfortunately, I did not. This is not a vacation resort-this is a working fishing dock, which I do not have an issue with as I should have read the reviews first What I do take issue with is the husband owner who basically doesn't care about the summer crowd and replied to my legitimate complaints: "I can't control what other people do on my docks. I offer fair prices, if you don't like it, find another marina, or leave a bad review!" Well, I am doing just that, leaving you the review you deserve. If you, as a business owner, cannot handle constructive criticism, you're in the wrong line of work. And by the way, you can control what goes on, it's your marina! And you might be in for a future lawsuit if something happens on your property with, or, to people who shouldn’t be using your amenities... This is what I complained about: - Bathrooms are disgusting period! No airflow, rust on the metal, broken drains in the showers-black mold everywhere. The doors are left night long to the public including the local bar next door. - Fisherman showing up at 5:00 am, smoking in the parking lots, on the docks, on their boats, and in front of the bathrooms where again, the doors are left open all night. I had to purchase a $25.00 tub of Damp Rid to remove the smell of cigarettes, cigars, and gasoline from our cabin. As previously stated, when I complained, the owner could have cared less. I wasn't looking for a free stay, but a little empathy and maybe knock off a couple of bucks on the Damp-Rid. - People waiting to go on fishing charters formed a line at the women’s room. My wife had to wait to use the bathroom for quite some time until all of the charters had left. Needless to say, we won't be back, and we'll be spending our money elsewhere.

fuel prices were misrepresented on dockwa (they had a date/time stamp showing updated the night before our morning arrival). i planned to top off tanks but the price at the pumps was significantly higher and $2/gallon more than i pay at my home marina for diesel. part of the reason we decided to stay overnight was because of the posted fair fuel prices, so that was a disappointment.

I would pick zero if that was allowed. We had a reservation for 3 days and in the morning when we were to leave our starboard starter broke. I called them immediately to explain this and that we have been there several times before. They said this is the policy no exceptions. I understand it's August and they need to fill the slips. However they could have said if we can rent it out they can credit us. I'm sure the spot was filled,and they double popped the weekend. I would not recommend this place.

we had mechanical failure in our bow thruster that delayed our departure preventing us from reaching Montauk Marina. the dock master insisted on charging us full price when we called to cancle. We all know boating is expensive and unpredicable, and most marinas understand this, but not some.

Marina Response:
We are sorry that your bow thruster failed, but we have a very clear cancellation policy. You tried to cancel the reservation the day of arrival. We were fully booked that weekend and I had to turn other boats away in order to reserve your slip. As you said boating is expensive but so is operating a seasonal business. We have limited time to earn a living and limited space for boats, even more limited for boats over 50 feet. We also assume the boat was still able to travel without a bow thruster. Again we are sorry for your misfortune and we hope you can understand our point of view. Thank you

Stayed here on my first day of owning a big boat. I let the dock hand know it was my first time so I didn't get packed in a tight spot. Well of course he has me go inside between 2 boats so about as nervous as I could be, I did my best. Spot looked very small yet he kept telling me I would fit. Well I stopped as it seemed way to tight and sure as heck we were wedged between 2 pylons with my 14' wide boat. He well aware of the boat size, my skill and confidence. Anyway my review is on the dock help because the "help" was very unhelpful through the whole process. I've been to plenty of locations with people and normally the dock hands remove all or most of your docking stress. Very very disappointed. I give them an extra star because they had a great marine store and the people inside seemed great. Get some skilled help guys, if this was a new guy then you should have sent someone else out to help teach him, looking at others it seems others also were not fond of your dock help.

We have stayed at this marina for the last 3 years. It was never fancy, it is a real fisherman’s place. We didn’t expect anything more. However this year we found the marina totally run down. The people in the Marina office are unhelpful and downright rude. The WiFi didn’t work; the bathrooms were closed for about 24 hours, were not very clean, and had no a/c.

People were friendly and staff helpful. Facilities need to be freshened up, esp. bathrooms. Docs look worn and dirty with bird dropping stains everywhere, but it is also less expensive than the Star Island venues. Floating docks with pilings on the sides, no floating fingers. Definitely a fishing place with a great store for fishing gear. Most area restaurants were closed, but would be opening up in a few days (just before memorial day). We tried "La Fin", a new place and enjoyed it for dinner.

It was ok, we could have used some mature help upon arrival. They sent two young kids who knew nothing about docking, and who gave us no local knowledge on the tie up techniques and were totally ignorant on how to properly connect a shore power cord. NEVER plug a shore power cord into a live circuit on the pedestal. Chris told his trainee “be sure the pedestal power switch is turned on before plugging in” He was quiet snotty when I tried to educate him also.

BEWARE. I had originally scheduled two nights as a transient. An unexpected circumstance caused me to delay my arrival for two days. They said l could not change dates and charged me their full rate, including electricity for the first day. Then a couple days later they charged my card the full charge for the second day, including electricity. Watch out for this place. They will take advantage of you after you trust them with your credit card info.

Even as Tropical Storm Fay continues to bear down on us, Montauk Marine Basin refuses to honor their own cancellation policy. We were forced to cancel due to severe incoming weather conditions. It was a matter of safety and the only reasonable choice, as following our original plans and keeping our reservation would have meant risking life, limb and property. Additionally, one of our crew members is currently in fragile health due to ongoing cancer treatment, and traveling through the predicted 8 foot seas would have compromised her health greatly. Despite this, rather than following their own policy and charging us 50% for the cancellation, MMB chose to immediately charge us the full price of our entire 4-night stay. No where on the website does it say that they are entitled to do this, but they did it anyway. This unethical move impacted 4 vessels traveling together and amounts to a windfall of several thousand dollars for Montauk Marine Basin, yet they have found no room to work with us on a fair resolution. Should they, at some point, decide they DO have a conscience, I'm happy to retract this complaint, But for now.... buyer beware. These are unscrupulous people.

Busy marina with boats coming and going on fuel dock. Facilities are tired-- docks roped off with safety tape for areas with soft planks. Larger boats are assigned to fixed dock. The young staff is friendly, but not well trained. Location is near several good restaurants and the Tiki bar with live entertainment. Good Uber service to access town.

Starting with what was good. Location was very nice. Easy walk to Gossman's. The 50 Amp electric worked well just over 200 Volts. Water Source was plentiful. There is a really cool Tiki bar that plays live music on the property. Also if fishing is your thing this place is a great place with bait station and ice maker on premises. Now the things that I was not thrilled about: We are accustomed upon arrival for dock hands to board the boat and help tie up the boat. The reason we appreciate this so much is we are not familier with the tide swing in the area and it saves alot of effort trying to get the lines just right. On this day the dock hand did a pour job of securing the stern and never offered to assist in helping with bow or spring lines. Also since there was no Pole closer to the mid ship or bow I almost drifted into the new Viking next to me and last second I saw what was happening and climbed over the helm chair to grab the bow thruster to avoid contact. I normally have my son with me except that he needed to bring the tender over and when he asked the dock hand where he can tie up even temporarily the dock hand said I don't know. So I was left on my own! In the 3 days we were there we never saw a dock hand walking the dock to check on any of the boats. The Docks are old and dilapidated. The poles are old and weathered with no pole caps on top. The adjacent property had a fish cleaning station that someone left a garden hose spraying through the fence all day and night onto the dock. So every time anyone on our dock need to get onto land we would get wet. There is no person to contact at night in case of emergency. I know this because I tried to call about the water spraying across the dock. I eventually walked thru the spray around the fence and relocated the hose to stop spraying the dock. On the plus side the complete lack of Dock hands made staying past 11am check out easy if wanted to since we never saw them. I wouldn't tell or suggest to others not to visit there. I would just prepare them for the less then yacht club experience that we experienced and to be prepare to take maters into your own hands.

We fished in the Star Island shark tourmamernt on 8-4 & 8- 5th. Even though the tournament was out of Star Island we stayed at Montauk Marine Basin. The service and staff at Montauk is far superior to Star Island Much more friendlier too. On the way over to Montauk from Point Judith we experienced some engine trouble. After making one phone call to Chase over at Montauk Marine Basin he had there Cat technichian Chriss waiting for us on arrival. In just a few minutes he changed out our fuel filters and water seperators on my 62' Ocean Sport Fish and we were good to go. Just another example of why we wouldn't stay anywhere else. Capt Ed Ingalls Atlantic Hunter FYI The owner and staff at Star Island marina seem to be highly annoyed with the boaters that stay there.

Arrived and radioed in. Told we were at "slip 32". No idea where this is, no signage. A stop at the fuel dock got us a dockhand to meet us there so we could find the slip. We arrived close to closing time so by the time we tied off and went to get the bathroom/shower key, everyone had left and the place was locked. No bath or shower access until the next morning. If a guest arrives, they should make sure they have a key before leaving for the night.
