Why does this marina have such an unusual name?
In the early 1900's, the surrounding area had a striking resemblance to the Nile—a sandy barrier beach island and an abundance of exotic-looking plants. In the 1920's, the locals called the area "Little Egypt", and a small boat livery was named the "Port of Egypt Fishing Station." Now the red circle reading Port of Egypt has become a North Fork landmark.
How close are you to prime fishing areas and places ideal for water sports?
Port of Egypt is three minutes from paradise—and not just Paradise Point. Our marina is sheltered yet very close to open water (the Peconic Bays, Gardiners Bay, Shinnecock Inlet, Plum Gut and Long Island Sound, the Race, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, Montauk and Block Island). It’s the ideal location for finding the fun you’re looking for on the water.
What if I want to stay ashore for the day?
There’s plenty to keep a landlubber busy—no matter where your interests lie. Relax at our swimming pool. Dine at the Seafood Barge, the award-winning restaurant on the premises, or check one of the other four within walking distance. Take time to soak in the North Fork’s natural beauty—beaches, bird sanctuaries, and nature trails. Explore delightful centuries-old villages chock full of museums, antique shops, unique gift stores and restaurants. Don’t forget about the vineyards, and check the local calendar for special events like country fairs, carnivals and festivals.
Does Port of Egypt host any special events?
During the summer season, the marina hosts a number of parties. The Customer's Day is fun for the whole family. There is a special party for Cobalt owners, and the annual two-day Grady-White Owner's Fishing Tournament attracts numerous entries. We also sponsor overnight cruises and dinner trips. Check the Calendar and Album pages for details and photographs from prior events.
