Westbrook puts a lot of water within reach.

Regional boating guides describe Westbrook as a convenient gateway to places including Orient Point, Shelter Island, Fishers Island, Mystic, Montauk and Block Island.

MYC-style cruising is presented here as informal club connection rather than a guaranteed scheduled program. Confirm all destinations, weather, navigation information and event details before departure.

Orient Point

A quick Long Island destination from Westbrook waters.

Shelter Island

A classic weekend stop with protected waters and harbor options.

Mystic

Historic waterfront atmosphere and a popular Connecticut cruising destination.

Block Island

A longer outing that remains one of southern New England’s signature boating trips.
