Safe Harbor Yacht Haven (Safe Harbor)

Safe Harbor Yacht Haven sits on Long Island Sound in Stamford, making it a natural jumping-off point if you're heading east toward Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, or Nantucket. It's the kind of place that feels like a proper home base rather than just a stopover, with easy access from both land and water. Stamford itself puts you close to a buzzing downtown with solid dining and transport links into New York City.
