Located five nautical miles from the Long Island Sound breakwater, Essex Harbor is sheltered and protected. Essex Island Marina is situated on the west side of the Connecticut River just 100’ from mainland Essex, Connecticut.

We have about 125 slips, with approximately 60 available for transient Guests. Slips are located adjacent to the river on the east side of the island, and along North Cove on the west side of the island. Everyone has a favorite spot – be sure to notify us of yours when making your reservation.

Our floating slips range in size from 30’ to 50’, with a minimum of 15’ width at each slip. At mean low water, the depths in the slips range from 5’-9’. Dockside accommodations consist of tying up to pilings alongside a stationary dock. We have 2.5’-3’ tidal range.
