Professional mooring services throughout Southold and the Peconic Bay shoreline.
Request a Quote Call NowEast End Mooring & Salvage provides professional mooring installation, maintenance, and marine services across the North Fork of Long Island, primarily within the Town of Southold. Our focus is on the Peconic Bay side of the North Fork, including Greenport, Southold, Mattituck, and surrounding waterfront hamlets.
The Peconic Bay offers a mix of protected areas and open-water exposure depending on location. Moorings in this region must be carefully designed to handle changing wind conditions, vessel traffic, and varying bottom compositions. Proper placement and setup are essential for long-term performance and reliability.
The Town of Southold has extensive coastline and waterways, with approximately 160 miles of shoreline and a large percentage of the area made up of water, making it a highly active boating region. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
In Southold, moorings are regulated by the Town Trustees, and a permit is required before installation. Information on mooring permits, applications, and regulations can be found here: Southold Town Mooring Information Page . Moorings are limited and subject to specific rules, including vessel size restrictions and limits on the number of moorings per person. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Due to high demand and limited availability, many locations require joining a waiting list before a mooring can be installed. We are familiar with the process and can help guide you through securing the proper approvals.
It is important to note that our services on the North Fork are focused on the Peconic Bay side of Southold. We do not currently service moorings located on the Long Island Sound side. This allows us to focus on the areas where we have the most experience and can provide the highest level of service.
We work with both seasonal and long-term boat owners to install moorings tailored to their vessel, location, and usage. Whether you are looking for a protected setup or access to open bay conditions, we can help determine the best solution.
In addition to installation, we provide inspections, seasonal maintenance, diving services, and salvage operations. Our familiarity with North Fork waters allows us to complete work efficiently and correctly.
As a veteran-owned company led by a USCG licensed captain, we bring professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail to every job. We are known for responsive service, fair pricing, and dependable results.
