2025 PBSA Cruise to Stonington, CT

The 2025 Rendezvous will be at Dodson Boatyard in Stonington, Ct. 

Due to complications and uncertainty at the various marinas at Three Mile Harbor, we changed that previously proposed venue to Stonington, Ct. which is located just east and north of the east end of Fishers Island. 

Dodson's is about 1/2 way up the Stonington Harbor on the east shore and has 110 moorings with a launch service. Boats under 60ft pay $106.35 per night, which includes the launch. Slips, when available, are $5 per ft. Although they do not take reservations, I was assured a non-holiday weekend, such as Aug 8-10 would not be a problem getting a mooring. Slips are less certain, but if available, they would offer them, if you ask for one. (On my last visit, I was able to secure a slip).  Showers, restrooms and laundry are also available.

Dodson's phone number is 860-535-1507. I recommend calling the morning of Aug 8, and a follow-up call or radio chat on ch78 to secure your mooring / dock assignment. 

After arrival on Friday, we will meet for drinks and dinner at Dog Watch Cafe at 6:30pm. Our Saturday night dinner venue will be posted on the website at a later date. 

Stonington has many structures dating back as far as the 18th century lining Water Street. Day passes can be obtained for the beach at the end of the peninsula. 

As in recent years, we will start the Rendezvous weekend at Billy's by the Bay in Greenport at 5pm Thursday night, Aug 7. We will depart Stonington on Sunday Aug 10.

Call Artie Bortz if you have any questions!  845-519-9711 (please leave a message if I don’t pick up).   Please let Artie or Dave Comando know if you plan to attend. 

Thanks!
