Fairfield is roughly twenty minutes down I-95 from our shop in Milford. The town runs two public marinas, and between them they account for most of the boats we see here.
It is a smaller-boat town by design. South Benson takes vessels from about 14 to 36 feet, and Ye Yacht Yard at Southport handles small craft, so per-foot pricing on a Fairfield detail usually lands at the friendlier end of our range.

Local conditions
Small boats, high sun exposure
Wrapped and tucked in beside the shed for the season. See the service →
Most Fairfield boats are open or partially open, which means the gelcoat, seating, and non-skid take the full sun all season with no cabin top shading them. Oxidation on a 22-foot center console kept at South Benson typically shows up faster than on a comparable boat with more covered surface.
Because slips here are seasonal and the marinas empty out for the winter, timing matters. A polish and sealant just before launch in April, and a proper wash and wax before haul-out, covers most owners well. Fairfield's marinas open in mid-April, so we book Fairfield work heavily in late March and early April.
