Raritan Bay Marina Recommendation

[rwp2101]

I’m looking for a marina recommendation on Raritan Bay for this Spring. I’d like somewhere that I can keep my boat for the months of April, May and possibly June. My boat is 32’ LOA w/ a beam of 10’6”. I’ll be striper fishing. Places I’ve slipped before are Brown’s Point and AH municipal marina. I’m wondering what else is out there. Both places were great but the current and narrow slips at Brown’s Point are an issue if someone other than myself wants to borrow the boat. The slips at AH were not ideal for my elderly father. Thanks in advance!

You might try Monmouth Cove marina, they have floating docks.. If you're a Monmouth County Resident I think they give you a slight discount too... Your issue might be only wanting to slip for a few months as they might want you to sign up for the entire season.

I will second Monmouth Cove Marina. I have been there for 15 years. Great marina, all about fishing.

I was just there yesterday. MCM is full for the season. Both wet and rack.

You try Raritan Bay marina aka formerly Viking Marina? The currents on that south creek are nowhere as fast as the main creek by Browns/Morgan/Zubacks.

Also Petersons is back there is off the main Cheesequake tidal stream.

Thank you Capt Frank and everyone else! For this season I'm back at Brown's Point, and I'll be checking out by boat all of the great suggestions on this thread for next season!

You're welcome.

I crab Morgan/Cheesequake creeks like crazy for decades including down the south creek past Raritan Bay to the hillbilly house back there. There is an narrow RR underpass on that south creek past Raritan Marina (aka old Viking Marina) the current under it is 8 feet deep and white water currents 10-15mph). It is wild! I've also Sea Towed boats back to all these marinas over the past 22 years.

You also have Keyport places to look at. Then you can move east to Keansburg, Port Monmouth, Leonardo, etc.
