FROM the HELM
A Letter from Jeff Strong
Dear friends and fellow boaters,
Eighty years ago, my family began a journey that has grown into something far greater than we could have imagined. What started in 1945 with a love for boating and a commitment to exceptional service has become a legacy built on trust, friendship, and unforgettable moments on the water.
This summer has been a reminder of why we do what we do. From seeing families create new memories aboard their boats to watching our team deliver remarkable service with pride, the spirit of Strong’s Marine continues to shine brightly. In this issue, you will enjoy stories from our clients, photos capturing summer adventures, and a look at some of the outstanding individuals who make up our team. You will also read about an exciting milestone for us as we expand our ability to sell Cobia boats across all of New York, bringing even more boating opportunities to our community.
Reaching our 80th year is more than an anniversary. It is a celebration of the relationships that have been built over generations and the experiences that keep bringing us together on the water. I am deeply grateful for your trust in us and proud to have shared so many memories with you.
On behalf of my family and our entire Strong’s Marine team, thank you for being an important part of our story. We look forward to many more years of serving you and helping you enjoy every moment the water has to offer.
Warm regards,
Jeff Strong
President
CASTING LINES - A DAY FISHING OFF MONTAUK
A First Fishing Adventure on the Pursuit S358
For Robert and his family, their first fishing trip aboard their new Pursuit S358 was about much more than reeling in a catch. It was about good company, learning together, and savoring a day on the water where time seemed to slow down.
Sales Consultant Drew Lanzetta has worked with Robert for years, building a relationship rooted in trust and a shared passion for boating. So when Robert decided to step into the world of fishing boats, he knew Drew would be there to guide the way.
With the Montauk coastline as their backdrop, Drew joined the family on board to help them get started. From walking Robert through the helm’s setup to demonstrating how to rig their gear, Drew made sure the family was ready to enjoy every moment. The Pursuit S358 delivered seamlessly — its spacious deck, inviting bow seating, and smooth handling from bay to open sea created the perfect platform for adventure.
But what truly made the day special wasn’t just the boat’s features. It was the laughter echoing across the water, the teamwork of reeling in each fish, and the simple joy of time together. For Robert and his family, this was not only the start of a new boating chapter, but the first of many unforgettable days living life at its best — on the water.
Watch the video on our YouTube channel below for an inside look at this memorable day on the water!

Cruisers Yachts - 38 GLS South Beach OB
“Absolutely amazing experience from point A to Z! Rachel and Chris made it a seamless process to purchase digitally and then Rachel and Ted made me feel right at home on the day of delivery. I will be back time and time again in the future. These people know hospitality and customer care.”
Regal - LS9 Ultimate
As empty nesters exploring a new hobby, the Richards hesitated at first—knowing nothing about boating—and wondered if a boat would fit into their busy lives. With friendly guidance from the team, they found just the right boat. “We now go on the boat every weekend! I am very grateful to Bridget and the entire team for making this a seamless and fun process.”
Cobia - 220 DC
From inquiry to launch in just two weeks, this Cobia was on the water and ready for our client. Our team earned a perfect score on the customer satisfaction survey, reflecting our dedication. For us, a boat purchase is more than a transaction—it’s a celebration!

MORE THAN A JOB: 25 YEARS AT STRONG'S MARINE
Spending 25 years with one company may sound rare in today’s fast-paced world. But for Debra Beni, longevity at Strong’s Marine has never been about years on the calendar—it has been about family, purpose, and a deep love for the water.
“When I started, it was a mom-and-pop business. We all fit in one building,” Debra recalls. Over time, she watched the company expand—new team members, new managers, new locations. What never changed was the heart of the business.
“I look forward to coming to work every day,” she shares. “I love being on the water, surrounded by beautiful boats, and I love the people I work with. Everyone has a purpose here, and everyone matters.”
That sense of belonging is what has carried her through more than two decades of growth and change. “It still feels like a family business,” she says. “That’s what sets us apart. We’re not just numbers here—we’re people with shared values.”
For Debra, Strong’s Marine is like a puzzle—each piece essential, each person contributing to the bigger picture. Her story is not just about career milestones, but about the lasting power of community and shared purpose.
At Strong’s, work is more than a paycheck. It’s a calling, a culture, and in Debra’s case, a family worth celebrating.
