Behind the Breakwater

Picture of the calm water at  Newburgh Yacht Club MarinaWhen you ask a member what’s the best thing about the Newburgh Yacht Club?

They almost always say it’s the calm water in the Marina.

  • No wakes to get bothered by
  • Easier docking

The Calm Water —

That’s the result of a massive; very wide; very deep ;  and long rock breakwater which the club installed to protect the marina.

This breakwater completely stops those annoying wakes that can make just sitting out enjoying the day on your boat so uncomfortable.

Plus when a storm comes calling the protection the breakwater gives is unbeatable.
