NAVESINK MARINA
If live music is what you're
looking for, get ashore at
the Navesink Marina. Their
own Eventide Grille is an
excellent spot to enjoy lighter
fare, refreshing drinks and
live local bands under the
setting sun. Here, boating
accommodations range from
short-term slips to rack and
cradle storage for the off-
season.
THE CHANNEL
CLUB MARINA
The Channel Club Marina
offers 30 to 100-foot slips
and complimentary shuttle
services to local destinations.
However, once you dock
at The Channel Club, you
might not want to leave.
Much more than a place
to fuel up, The Channel
Club in Monmouth Beach
boasts its own ambitious,
dockside restaurant, plus a
tiki bar, dock attendants and a
housekeeping service.
MONMOUTH COUNTY
BELMAR MARINA
With transient docks up to 150
feet, there's no better place
to dock in Belmar. Even if you
don't own a boat, there's plenty
of charter and party boats
available at the discretion of
their owners. The marina is
also located just steps away
from the 9th Ave. Pier Bar &
Restaurant and the Marina
Grille, which both feature live
music and specialty cocktails.
THE MOLLY
PITCHER INN
One of the few places on our
list that offers lodging, The
Molly Pitcher Inn is a paradise
in the heart of Red Bank. Take
a break from sleeping on the
tide and check yourself into the
promenade or garden
suite. When you're ready to
explore the ever-walkable
streets of Red Bank, be sure
to visit the upscale Italian
restaurant, Pazzo, before
catching a show at The
Downtown's beachfront venue.
Summer memories are best made on the
ocean, and a good yacht is how you get there.
New Jersey boasts 130 miles of popular
Atlantic coastline. From the luxurious
marinas overlooking Manhattan to the
Victorian charm of Cape May's boat docks,
New Jersey offers hundreds of destinations
where you can deboard and sit back to a plate
of crab legs and a glass of Riesling. Add in
New Jersey's eclectic local music scene, and
you'll see how the Garden State affords a
wealth of opportunities to make the most of
your summer yachting.
Here's where you can find the best places in
New Jersey to dock your sportfish, cruiser or
mega yacht.
