Brown's Boat Yard

Brown’s Boat Yard, a stalwart of the marina community since the 1940s, is situated at the mouth of the West River in Guilford, Connecticut, overlooking the eastern expanse of Long Island Sound. Located at 348 Chaffinch Island Road, this marina offers a blend of convenience and tranquility, just a two-minute motor up the West River from Guilford Harbor. The 30-slip marina accommodates power and sail vessels up to 46 feet in length, with a maximum draft of six feet.

The marina provides ValvTect gas and diesel at its fuel dock, open weekdays and weekends during peak season. Emergency haulout services are available via a 25-ton lift. Although primarily catering to local boaters, the marina’s proximity to downtown Guilford ensures easy access to a full range of provisioning, dining, and medical services. With its rich history and modern amenities, Brown’s Boat Yard remains a cornerstone for boaters seeking both service and serenity along the Connecticut coast.
