How's the Hunter 36?

Hey Seadaddler: How's the Hunter 36? When can we expect a review?

Mattituck Inlet

I live a couple of miles from Mattituck inlet, but I keep my boat on the bay side. However, I do see large sailboats anchored in the inlet all the time. They usually are all the way in towards route 48, then you can walk to town. I would call Matt-A-Mar Marine. They are the largest marina in the inlet, and they can advise you.

Mattituck

Hello,I went to Mattituck two years ago with my Newport 28 that hada 5' 6" draft. The channel is narrow and meanders, but is notdifficult to find. I stayed at Matt A Mar which is very nice.There is room to anchor at the end of the inlet. A few things to note: -There is not a lot of water in the inlet. We left at low tideand saw 4' in a few places (my transducer was about 2' below thewater line). -It is about 2nm from the inlet to Matt A Mar, so it will takea little time to get there. -The harbor / end of the inlet is very protected and calm. -It is about 50nm from Northport to Mattituck, so plan accordingly. -Another option would be Northport to Mt. Sinai or Port Jeffersonon day one (25 nm), then to Orient for day 2 (40 nm). Good luck, it sounds like a fun trip.Barry

I stayed in Mattituck Inlet 4 years ago

and we got in after all the marinas were closed so we ended up tying up to the the Town Dock for the night for free! It might not be as quiet as the marina's in there but it is a lot closer to town and the restaurants and LIRR. Our boat has a 3'6" draft and there was no problem finding the channel then. I highly recommend staying at the Town Dock in Mattituck. It is really pretty laid back unless the marine patrol is launching there rescue boats (which they did when we were there - but even this was a form of entertainment).
