The WaterFront Center welcomed M/V COASTAL QUEEN for an overnight stopover at our dock. It was great spending some time with her outstanding crew.

Originally launched in 1928 as a Chesapeake Bay buy boat, she was converted for passenger use in the 1950s and recently underwent a full restoration. The craftsmanship is first class and she is outfitted as an elegant, yet comfortable, cruising yacht.

Safe travels COASTAL QUEEN. We look forward to a future visit to Oyster Bay.

What a wonderful night celebrating The WaterFront Center!

On Thursday, October 1, we gathered at Sea Cliff Yacht Club for our 2026 Annual Benefit. We’re excited to share a few moments from the evening and extend our heartfelt thanks to our Board of Directors, Annual Benefit Committee, sponsors, partners, volunteers, donors, and guests who made the night possible.

At The WaterFront Center, our mission is to connect people to the water through education and recreation. From sailing and marine education to scholarships, community partnerships, and opportunities to experience our harbor, your support helps make this work possible.

While the Benefit has come to a close, our mission continues every day. We rely on the support of our community to keep our programs strong, care for our fleet, expand access, and create opportunities for more people to get on the water.

If you weren’t able to join us—or would like to continue your support—we hope you’ll consider making a donation to The WaterFront Center.

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Annual Benefit so special, and thank you for continuing to keep us on the water.
