If you're looking for a great Marina, look no further than Blue Water Yacht Club in Merrick, NY! BWYC is family oriented with a nice pool, fishing off the docks, fish cleaning station, great water view restaurant, bbq's during holiday gatherings along with having really nice people that are passionate about boating. If you are ever in need of immediate service or repair at BWYC, I have seen their service crew fix batteries, starters, bilge issues, etc. the same day as it occurs and on even on holiday weekends! Bottom line... Blue Water Yacht Club is a keeper!!

Sunset at BWYC!

I have been keeping my boat at the Blue Water Yacht Club of Merrick for the past 4 years and have had a great experience so far. Staff was very helpful when I had some issues with my boat. Would recommend it 100%

The owner Kelly is completely unprofessional. With all the marina on the block she should be nicer to her costumers. She refuses to listen to customer complaints and hangs up the phone when dealing with concerns. One of the most unprofessional people I have ever seen and should not be in any position to work with customers.

I have not had the bad experiences that have been posted. I find the staff friendly and helpful. Another person at the dock sold his boat there and wasn't charged any commission. They make recommendations and let you decide if you want the work done. They have no problem with you doing your own work as I see every spring people in the lot cleaning and painting their own boat. I have had nothing but pleasant experience at BWYC. I will admit I wasn't there during Sandy and don't know anything about what happened. But as far as my experience, this is a great marina with a friendly helpful staff. It's also in a good location with friendly people who dock their boat there. There is a pool, showers, and a nice restaurant on the premises, Aqua. They have a courtesy dock and have no problem with a boat docking to visit someone at the dock. I am pleased with my experience and have no problem recommending this marina.

We found Blue Water Yacht Club last November (2014) when we were looking for a Marina with a more social environment, more amenities, and better location on the south shore. We looked at 8-10 different places and liked the "feel" of Blue Water. We found the office to always be helpful and worked with us any issues. After a season here we really love this place. The other boat owners are now our friends and this is our summer home. More important- the staff: we found them to be great to deal with and always helpful. They always spend time answering any questions, advising us and open to suggestions. The rates are equal to other marinas but here are some big advantages. They have three great restaurant within walking distance. Acqua is part of the Marina and has become out favorite. Docking can sometimes be a challenge since you are right on the bay and not up a protected canal but the sunsets and people make it worth it. If you can dock here you can dock anywhere- a skill sharpener. Location to Zacks bay, Short Beach Freeport and Beautiful Sunsets. At your dock. Kid friendly and an in ground pool. WIFI and Pump out available. One of the few place that have a pup out as part of the marina. You are on the bay so you can get out and in quick with no marshland and flys attacking you. There is always staff around. With the High and Dry there is someone there 7 days a week. They always are willing to help in an emergency you can get your boat hauled quickly in an emergency. Parking - there is always available and we have a slip that we can back our car right up to. Mechanical and marine services, they seem to be honest, do good work and fees are inline with other marinas. We would recommend this Marina and suggest you check it out.

Bluewater Yacht Club is a great place to enjoy your summer boating, I have kept my boat in the marina for the last 18 yrs. Close to the bay and inlet, floating docks, pool for the kids, three restaurants are within walking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is never a shortage of fellow boaters enjoy the sun and having cocktails . We have caught monster striped bass from the dock since the marina in on the bay. The marina is fenced in with an electronic gate

I have been at Blue Water for the last fifteen years and I love the proximity to Jones inlet and Zach's bay. The marina is well cared for and the staff is friendly. The restaurant on the premises is top shelf. The fellow boaters are very friendly and eager to invite you to the various barbecues and parties dockside. The yacht club is secure and and the pool is great after a day on the water.

We picked this marina due to it's location and fairly quick access to Jones Inlet. This has proved to be a huge mistake. The management is unfriendly. If you have a relatively new boat forget about getting your warranty work done at the marina, we had to bring it to a remote location. Hurricane Sandy completely wiped the marina out. The marina lot is only 1 foot higher than the high tide mark. The marina is now holding all their customers boats hostage until their erroneous fees are paid. The marina is double dipping and shaking down each customer for between $6,000 and $20,000. Boater Beware!!!!!

Great Britain Billionaire Lynch recovered dead from yacht

22.8.2024 - 15:21

After days of searching, there is now certainty: British billionaire Mike Lynch also died in the sinking of a luxury yacht off Sicily.

22.08.2024, 15:21

The body of the 59-year-old entrepreneur was brought to the surface by special divers from his sailing boat "Bayesian", which was lying at a depth of 50 meters off the Italian Mediterranean island. Only his 18-year-old daughter is still missing.

In all probability, seven people died in the accident on Monday, including two couples who were friends of Lynch. In the meantime, accusations are mounting against the captain of the huge sailing boat, a New Zealander with a lot of experience on the world's oceans. However, the public prosecutor's office initially left open whether it would initiate an investigation.

Lynch wanted to celebrate his acquittal with family and friends

Lynch, one of the richest Britons, actually wanted to celebrate with his family and rich friends on the sailing trip that he had finally won in court after years of dispute over the sale of his company. His wife, who was also on board, was one of the 15 survivors. The 56-metre-long "Bayesian" - named after an 18th century British mathematician - was one of the largest sailing yachts in the world.

The exact course of the accident has not yet been clarified. It is possible that the crew and guests were surprised by a severe storm on Monday morning off the port of Porticello, not far from the island's capital Palermo. The yacht was only half a nautical mile - about 900 meters - from the shore. It reportedly took less than 60 seconds for it to sink. The New Zealand captain claimed: "We didn't see it coming." However, there are considerable doubts about this account.

Passengers trapped in cabins

With the exception of the ship's cook, the entire crew survived. However, half of the twelve passengers are probably dead. In addition to Lynch and his daughter Hannah, they include two married couples who were friends: one of the heads of the investment bank Morgan Stanley, Jonathan Bloomer, with his wife Anne Elizabeth, and the lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Nada. They were all still in their cabins when the accident occurred in the morning and were unable to escape.

It is assumed that the huge yacht was caught by a monster wave and was not stable enough in the water. She allegedly sank within a single minute. There is speculation about a hatch left open on the upper deck or an incorrectly adjusted centerboard on the hull, which can be used to regulate the draft of the ship. The "Bayesian" belonged to the Lynch family.

Sailing yacht with adjustable draught

The 15-year-old ship - built by the Italian shipyard Perrini - was equipped with a system that allowed the draft to be more than halved: under normal sailing conditions, it had a keel depth of almost ten meters when the movable daggerboard was fully extended. This compensated for the counter forces of the 75 meter high mast. However, the draft could be reduced to around four meters - for example, to get into a harbour. This may have been the ship's undoing.

The co-owner of the Perrini shipyard, Giovanni Costantino, held the captain and crew partly responsible for the sinking. "Everything that was done reveals a very long series of mistakes," Costantino told the newspaper "Corriere della Sera" (Thursday). "The people should not have been in the cabins, the ship should not have been anchored. The storm was clearly visible on all weather maps." For example, not a single fisherman from Porticello was on board.

Lynch's friend also died recently

Tech entrepreneur Lynch was often referred to as the "British Bill Gates" in his home country. Lynch sold the software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for eleven billion US dollars in 2011 - one of the worst takeover debacles in Silicon Valley. Together with former finance manager Steve Chamberlain, he is alleged to have misled the US group about the state of their company. However, a jury acquitted the two of them. Chamberlain also died a few days ago: he was hit by a car while jogging.
