Private Boat to Quinipet's Dock
 
You may come by boat to Quinipet, after all we are on an island! Please call ahead to make sure some dock space is open for you to land. Please do not plan on staying more than an hour or more than a few minutes during camp operation. The water is about five feet deep at our pier and usually boat traffic creates a steady wake. Moorings may be available for overnight docking for mid-size boats, fees to be negotiated.

Long Island - ISLIP / MacArthur Airport
Ronokonkoma, NY

This is a great little airport.  JFK and the big NYC airport are just 80 miles away, but sometimes airfair is just as good if you fly into MacArthur - especially if you fly our favorite airline, Southwest!  Delta, Northwest, and US Air also fly in about once or twice a day too.  Check out your carriers web site directly - MacArthur's ease of use makes it worth the extra money - in most cases.
