Stella Maris Marina marine railway (haul-out)

23° 33.4′ N · 75° 16.3′ W

The only listed haul-out on Long Island: the marine railway at Stella Maris Marina, with mechanics and parts courier service.

Practical

Bahamas Cruisers Guide (updated 2017) lists a 75-ton marine railway, full-service mechanic and parts courier service (242-338-2055/2051). ActiveCaptain says the railway can handle smaller catamarans. The approach channel carries about 4.5-5 ft at low water and has lost its markers, so deep-draft boats may not get in; call ahead and time arrival near high tide. Parts and lubricants come from local suppliers or by order from Nassau (marina site). Flying Fish Marina in Clarence Town has no haul-out. Position is the marina (resort-published coordinates).

Best for

Hauling a shallow-draft boat or catamaran
