That's interesting. I was looking in the Long Island Sound region a few years ago and did have to go to the actual marina at times to get the prices - but down in the Chesapeake region, I've not had that issue. I've usually been able to find the information online or through a phone call....
I used to have a boat in Rock Hall - nice place! I'm now across the bay from Rock Hall. the Chesapeake is a beautiful sailing grounds!
Maybe that is a regional thing?
OP is looking for a listing of marina prices in CT so he doesn't have to call around to each one to find out what they charge. Active Captain apparently used to show things like this but no longer does, or it is outdated. It would help to know where in CT he's looking. CT has more than 600 miles of coastline (lots of inlets and rivers) so his phone bill could be enormous. His profile puts him on Swartswood Lake in New Jersey so he might not be too familiar with CT. He should probably contact marinas in Black Rock, CT: Captain's Cove and Cedar.
I like Mystic and I go there a lot. I'd be driving from NJ
Yes, I don't know exactly where he would be driving from but I assume that he lives near Swarstwood Lake. I live only 10 minutes from Swartswood and I know the traffic patterns from here to Connecticut and back very well. Mystic is at least 3 hours away in ideal traffic conditions. That's a laugh considering New York & Connecticut traffic. Traffic is normally brutal. South Norwalk may be economical and is about 2 hours away, again under ideal traffic only. Many of the LIS marinas don't look like they accommodate small 20' boats very well but I don't have any experience with that.
I agree that coastal sailing north of LIS is the best! Who doesn't like the cooler temps & clearer water! If I was considering moving north (& east), I wouldn't stop until I got to Narragansett Bay. Atlantic Highlands is a conundrum in my eyes. Sure it's a bit closer but most of Raritan Bay is too urban for our tastes. Besides, by the time you get off the Parkway and make it to Atlantic Highlands, you could be almost to Toms RIver. Route 36 can be a nightmare even more so than the Parkway, at least in my eyes. Raritan Bay has easier access to the Ocean and is larger than Barnegat Bay, but it is also largely affected by shallow water and marina access is limited and expensive. I'm pretty satisfied in Barnegat Bay and it will be a huge bonus once Cedar Creek gets dredged out by the end of year. Jersey shore has limited options for sure.
Unfortunately you‘ll need to make a lot of calls. If you don’t know the areas you can find the listings in navigation apps like Garmin Boating (Navionics) or Aqua Maps which let you load the ActiveCaptain and Waterway Guides info. You could also search Google Maps for Marinas by area.
