Sergio, who first set eyes on this boat at the New York Boat Show, finally got to enjoy the boat of his dreams this spring.

A NORTH FORK GEM - STRONG'S WATER CLUB
When Scott Posner and his family first visited Strong's Water Club (SWC) in Mattituck, NY, he was struck by its uniqueness. "Our initial visit was jaw-dropping; it felt like we were in South Carolina, not Long Island," Scott recalls. That moment led to a new boat purchase and a lasting connection with the Water Club, transforming it into a home away from home.
Scott describes SWC not merely as a marina but as a resort with boat slips. "It's a resort that happens to have slips," he says. Located on Long Island's North Fork, it’s the ideal base for adventures to Block Island or Martha’s Vineyard.
Beyond its picturesque setting, it also offers a vibrant community. "The friendships we've made are wonderful," Scott shares. The camaraderie among dock members and the frequent social events create a welcoming atmosphere.
“My daughter and I were amazed when we first ordered drinks by the pool—something you'd expect at a resort, not a marina."
The amenities are also impressive. From a lively restaurant and poolside service to well-maintained bathrooms and barbecue areas, if you didn’t want to venture off you don’t have to. "The facilities and service are top-notch," Scott notes, appreciating the dedicated team that handles maintenance and repairs.
Even in the off-season, Scott is drawn to the marina. "Visiting my covered boat in winter feels like therapy," he says. "Just pulling into the parking lot lowers my heart rate and blood pressure." This comfort is why he and others keep coming back year after year.
What sets it apart? For Scott, it’s simple: "It’s not just a marina; it’s a resort with exceptional service." He encourages others to visit and experience the unique lifestyle for themselves.
