Marina Review for Safe Harbor Greenport

Reviewed by: Phillip Benjamin on Jul 5, 2020
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 32'
Draft: 5.0'

Rating: 1

Although it is a beautiful facility in one of the most wonderful locations in the Northeast for any kind of boating, my experience there was ruined by Sean Gillagan, the General Manager, and I left after only one season. Jeff and the dock crew could not have been nicer. Unfortunately, Sean’s immaturity as a business person and manager created a adversarial environment between the yard and its primary customers, it’s seasonal boat owners. As I got to know other owners, they all spoke of their own run-ins with Sean, pined for the days when the yard was under Brewer management, and offered that but for the dearth of options on the North Fork, they would not keep their boats at Safe Harbor. In addition to poor communication, and a reputation for over billing, my own bad experience at this yard culminated in my boat being launched, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, without my knowledge and without bottom paint or zincs. Although I would recommend this marina to transients, I would not recommend it to anyone for seasonal docking or winter storage or to have repair work performed.
