History
Established in 2004.
Started in 2004 primarily as a fly fishing, boating, and kayak fishing store. In 2007 we expanded our tackle section and added bait sales once R&G Bait and Tackle closed operations. In 2009 the Angler Fleet re-located its open party boat and fishing boat charter fleet to our location offering some of the best fishing charter services in the Western Long Island Sound. In 2011 we added Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) rentals and added a boat rental company on site. 2012 we were joined by Long Island Boat Rentals who rent a variety of power boats and give boating lessons. In 2015 we added row boats to our rental fleet. In 2016 we have also been joined by Port Sailing School who rent sailboats, give sailing lessons, and have summer sailing camp for kids. Also new for 2016 we have added windsurfers for sale and rental and may be starting a windsurfing school.
