It would be helpful if the Dockwa site showed 2023 rates instead of 2022 rates. Also, on the Watch hill site, it shows the cancellation policy for Sailor’s haven. The ineptitude of the Federal Government remains apparent since as of earlier this week the remains of the burned down restaurant show no signs of restoration or effective site clearing. I affirm the following: Watch Hill during the week is calm and peaceful. While the food truck in the sand is a surprisingly good choice, it's a shame that the Federal Government has been so lax in doing anything with the burned down restaurant space. It's an eyesore. The only minor complaint is that the Wi-Fi service is spotty at best, and the signal is not very strong. In an era that is so Wi-Fi dependent, they would best if the service was upgraded, since cell service and non-marina Wi-Fi is non-existent. The staff remain wonderful. Update October 2023: staff still great, total lack of progress by Park service or whoever is responsible for the physical structure is annoying, but consistent. Always good to go to the beach to look at rubble. Also, website was never updated to 2023 info.

Marina Response:
Hi Joe, sorry you had an issue with the GFI system but it may be worth figuring out why you have a ground fault. It protects life and property and it is worth fixing. We had at least one million dollar picnic boat with an arcing main wire in their panel and the feedback system picked it up. His box had severe burn marks and who knows what could have happened. NOTE that eventually all marinas will have to go with GFI protected systems to meet the National Electric Code. We can help you with a great ABYC electrician who can help you find the ground fault quickly and usually inexpensively. Call us at 631-597-6073. Also note that we now have self-service GFI breakers on each slip (two per pedestal) so no longer can one boater trip another. MOST boaters are doing great on our system and can have peace of mind that their boats are safe from ground faults. Only a small percentage of boats have an issue and once corrected perform as they should. All the best and we hope to see you back.

The dock staff couldn’t be nicer and more available. The “office” staff is super pleasant. At bit expensive for non Islip Town residents, but worth it.
