About


Oyster Bay Harbor has been a port of call for sailors since the early 1600’s who were attracted to the area by its deep water port, abundance of natural resources and captivating beauty.

Oyster Bay Marine Center is the only full service boatyard and Marina on Oyster Bay Harbor. We gladly welcome transients to our docks and moorings for an overnight stay, a day trip into historic Oyster Bay Village or for a service call.

Cooper Bluff, a new waterfront bar is open Thursdays through Sundays, serving specialty cocktails, local beer and wine with an unbeatable view of Oyster Bay Harbor. A fun, relax vibe with live music and a gourmet food truck makes Cooper Bluff the place you'll want to anchor down and drink up at all summer long.

They're difficult to communicate with. Didn't answer their phone 9, 10, 11am one day and voice mail full. Sent a note with my Dockwa request and never got s response. Left a voice message another day and they never returned the call even though I reminded them on the radio that I left a voice message and to please call me. Another marina run by 20yr olds. No dinghy dock and thought my request was unusual. They couldn't accommodate a second night of mooring so we had to anchor off. Disappointing.

Good: the launch service was fast and courteous, the mooring jewelry was solid, cute town (“wild honey” lunch was incredible), they treated us right with a refund because showers were not operational (under renovation). Not as good: lots of crossing boat wakes including good sized launch wakes, fairly large harbor meant good sized chip in wind. All in all great.

We have always enjoyed Oyster Bay Marine Center but hadn't been back in a while. It remains a great spot only disappointment is that the small supermarket/deli within walking distance of the Marine Center is closed and getting a lot of supplies means a cab ride. One very nice feature is the proximity to the train station if you need to pop into NYC for a day. The launch operators are especially nice and helpful.

We were very impressed with the staff we encountered. From radio communications to obtain our mooring ball assignment, launch operators, fuel/water dock line handlers, and office staff - everyone was professional, knowledgeable, capable, and friendly/greeted guests. Throughout everyone was consistent. The marina managers should be very proud. My review this year is essentially the same (the staff is amazing and professional) - what is different? I would suggest the launch slow down as they are working their way through the fleet. I’m sure someone must have complained that the wait time was too long, but they have to realize the mooring field is quite large. Go back to slower operating speed. Love this place!

Sailing Catamaran - 44' X 25' X 4' Stopped here while heading west on LIS, hoping to visit the Teddy Roosevelt Home and pick up some provisions. Some earlier comments indicated OBMC would allow you to tie up your dinghy here while visiting town. This is either gone or depends on who's on duty. I called to ask and they told me they don't allow it, but I could do a "short stay" on one of their moorings and get picked up by the launch. When I asked what a "short stay" would cost, the rep told me "$1.00 or $1.50, I don't know". I also tried Sagamore Yacht Club, which I heard was more friendly to transient boats at anchor, but nobody ever answered the phone (9:30 am on a Wednesday). Nobody picked up at the Teddy Roosevelt Marina either. All of these places were open according to their websites. I thought about tying up my 11' dinghy to an OBMC mooring ball and taking the launch in, but decided to just move on. It just seemed like such silly lengths to go to just to go ashore. Oyster Bay, like other Long Island harbors, caters to dock and mooring clients pretty exclusively. That business model may make sense here, but for my purposes, I didn't find it a welcome or compelling place to take my modest business.

Great location and the staff is great. We were on a mooring so only services needed/utilized was the tender. Brendon was our Operator and he was great. Also, using the Dockwa app makes things so simple in booking, confirming, paying, etc. We also stopped in the new waterfront bar (Cooper Bluff) and it was fun. Was a bit "buggy" last night so they will need to address this (they had cans of bug spray available but I hope that is a short term fix only!). All in all a great stay in Oyster Bay.

Dropped by for an evening's stay. The mooring was easily found and retrieved, the launch service was pretty fast, and the launch boys quite knowledgeable about local eateries and the LIRR times. Downside - the bar/restaurant patrons of Cooper Bluff. The bathrooms (showers, too) were a mess by 9:30p and qualified as disaster areas in the morning. Hence the missing star. I think whatever the Marina could control was pretty good, but it is not clear to me that they actually own and operate Cooper Bluff.

Friendly staff and capable dockhands. However, no breaker at pedestal so had to handle hot cords in the rain for shore power hookup. Showers small and not air conditioned, one stall out of order, dilapidated appearence, open to bar patrons so shower dirty by morning. Overall, too expensive for the amenities provided. On a positive note, good shuttle service for boats moored.

It took over 90 minutes getting a mooring assignment and getting picked up by the launch. Booking in advance didn’t seem to matter, it was my first time trying to use Dockwa. It was a bit painful.

They were totally unprepared. We had reservations for dockge, thinking a slip. Instead when we showed up we were put on the outside next to the gas docks. We were traveling with another boat and were tied up just a stern of their boat. The launches and drivers have absolutely no regard for the no wake zone. They were speeding around all day and night throwing wake and the boat was constantly slamming into the docks. We all decided to take a tour around on our friends boat. Telling them that we would be back and to keep our spot open to return, figured we didn't have to tell them since we were staying for 2 nights. When we returned there was a 100 foot yacht tied up right to my bow. It was a chartered yacht, just like the show on tv. Guess where they hang out and party, yeah at the stern on top of me. As well, their generators were blaring into the night with fumes. Did i forget to mention we had a toddler on board trying to sleep! We complained and they moved us more on the inside right next to the aluminum ramp to come down the dock so at 7am when you are trying to rest all you hear is the carts being rolled and banged up and down with people coming and going loud as can be. One dock hand, Colin?, was rude as he'll and lucky he didn't get leveled by me. My wife asked for them to please keep the noise down, she turned her back and he flipped her the bird. I saw it. We asked for ice and the cube bags came half melted and refrozen to half a block and smelt like fish. Apparently they keep the frozen bait fish in the ice box with ice. Something there doesn't sound too sanitary. All in all it was overpriced for shitty service and accommodations. Will never go again.

On Monday July 2nd, the rudder of our Jeanneau Fantasia broke while we were sailing close to Oyster Bay. Fortunately, we were able to motor to Oyster Bay Marine Center and dock there. I was able to remove the rudder to confirm it was cracked midway. Dylan and Anton from Oyster Bay Marine Center were quickly able to diagnose the issue (water had gotten in and weakened the structure) and to propose a repair strategy, which we agreed to. At the end of day Tuesday July 3rd, we got the rudder back. I installed it on Wednesday morning and we sailed out to our next destination. The service we received from the marina was excellent , the staff was very courteous and always ready to help. Special kudos to Dylan for helping us until the last minute and Anton for doing an excellent job on the eve of July 4th. Delphine et Bruno

I recently had the pleasure of working with Oyster Bay Marine. I purchase a boat they had in winter storage. Mac Hyney and his staff did a great job working with the surveyor, the Captain, and prepping the boat for the trip to FL. This was all done in March 2018 while 4 nor'easters were pounding the Marina. The staff went out of their way to meet my needs and to protect the boat until the weather improved. It is hard to find honest people with integrity, but Mac Hyney is one of those people. Great service at a fair price. Thank you

I have been a customer of OBMC for 38 years now, have seen two different owners and 5 different managers. One thing has remain consistent, the customer comes first. A new manager and staff have taken over the reigns of control and need to prove themselves to me. This occurred the beginning of the season in 2018. With my winter storage being in water, I needed to leave the dock by 4/1. With nasty weather preventing the placement of moorings, Dylan worked with me and assured my mooring would be in place and launch service available. The trip over was wet and cold, but much to my relief there was my mooring as promised. I am so glad OBMC is maintaining the standards of excellent service, as I have seen for years. Come see the new renovations being done to improve customer comfort as well!

I'm from Maine and traveled to Oyster Bay a couple of times while purchasing a local boat. The staff at Oyster Bay treated me very well, and the customer service I received was world class! Thank you Mac and Dylan!

Came here to fuel up, good price for diesel. Then decided to go in to town for dinner. We requested and were directed to a seasonal owner's slip that was open for the day. Upon our return 2 hours later we found that the charge for our boat was $105 (3/ftx35ft)!! The next day I called the office thinking this was a mistake (the Sagamore Yacht Club on the next dock I later found out was $25/day for a mooring), but was told "sorry, that's our charge, nothing we can do about it". Next time to Oyster Bay we go next door!

Outstanding marina operations. Launch service is excellent. Excellent mooring field with stick pick up for mooring lines. Mooring balls are clearly labeled. Very friendly and helpful Marina management. Short walk into town, wide chose of good restaurants. WIld Honey (in Victorian house used by Roosevelt) was our choice for lunch. Good wine and beer selection. Handy grocery Verrellis market-small but it has all of the essentials with a nice deli. Evening races are fun to watch.

Our stay in Oyster Bay was as pleasant as always. The staff at OMBC are always helpful and courteous. The town is a short 10-minute walk from the marina with Carvel ice cream cold and waiting for you. Since last time I was there, less than a month ago, they raised their mooring rates by 50 cents per foot. There might be some good reason for a mid-season 25% price increase but compared with nearby yacht club fees, Oyster Bay just went down on our list of regular destinations.
