About chartering in Keansburg

Chartering in Keansburg offers a unique, shallow-draft mega yacht experience on the quiet waters of Raritan Bay, ideal for high-tide passages through narrow creeks. The primary departure point is Trade Winds Marina at 39 Charles Avenue, where transient slips and repair services support your vessel. Day trips from Keansburg reach Keyport Harbor, Sandy Hook, and the calm basins near Staten Island and Perth Amboy.

Keansburg Harbor Inlet, part of Waackaack and Thorns creeks, requires careful navigation with boats drawing less than three feet, especially during high tide. Anchoring is not permitted in the inlet or creeks due to narrow channels, so marinas like Trade Winds and Point Comfort Marina serve as secure moorings. The area is best explored with local knowledge, as navigation aids are privately maintained and unmarked.

From Keansburg, charterers can access the scenic coastline of Raritan Bay, with views of Point Comfort and Keyport Harbor just two miles east. The waters are calm and sheltered, perfect for leisurely mega yacht cruises, though depth restrictions limit access for larger vessels. Always radio marinas ahead for tide schedules and local guidance before entering the inlet.
