Milford, Connecticut
Milford Harbor, Housatonic River, Charles Island
Milford is home. Matt grew up here, a street from the beach and around the corner from the Housatonic, and the business has operated out of Milford since 2021. If your boat is in Milford Harbor or on the Housatonic, we are minutes away rather than a drive.
The town has more water than most people realize. Milford Harbor runs up to the head at Lisman Landing, the Housatonic forms the western boundary with Stratford, Gulf Pond and the Wepawaug feed in, and Charles Island sits just offshore. Between the harbor and the river there are moorings, town slips, private clubs, and full-service yards inside a few miles of each other.

Boats kept in Milford Harbor and boats kept on the Housatonic have different problems, and we quote them differently. The harbor is salt, with a tidal flush and open exposure toward Charles Island. Waterline growth is the main issue and the finish takes a steady salt load.
The Housatonic side is brackish and tannin-heavy, and it leaves a brown waterline stain that is genuinely harder to remove than salt-water growth. It sets into the gelcoat rather than sitting on top of it, so a Devon or Caswell Cove boat often needs the waterline worked properly with compounding, while a harbor boat the same age might only need a wash and seal.
Being local also changes what we can offer. We can stop by mid-season, check a boat before a holiday weekend, or fit a wash in around your schedule in a way we simply cannot do for a customer an hour away. If you keep a boat in Milford, use that.
