At the far western end of Long Island Sound, planning a sailing trip from Connecticut or Oyster Bay is one of the best things to do around these parts. Enjoy great sailing, fantastic fishing…. And of course, oysters!
Long Island Sound is blessed with a great selection of waterfront towns, perfect for a sailing trip on one of our beautiful yacht or boat charters.

The town of Oyster Bay itself straddles the full length of Long Island, and is known for its history and tradition for sailing activities. A favorite hangout of Teddy Roosevelt, with the former president visiting regularly and having a summer home in the town, this charming town is also his final resting place, with both he and his wife Edith buried in the local cemetery.
