Happy 4th of July from White Water Marine Center in Sayville! This is one of the best boating weekends of the entire year on Long Island, and the water is the place to be. Between family cruises, beach runs, raft-ups, fireworks, and time spent around the bay, the 4th of July weekend is what summer boating is all about.

The fishing has been strong heading into the holiday, with striped bass, fluke, sea bass, porgies, bluefish, and weakfish all giving local anglers something to chase. Fluke action continues to improve as the water warms up, bass are still around, and bluefish are keeping things exciting in the bays and inlets.

This week’s featured boat is a cruiser-style boat, and there may not be a better boat for a holiday weekend. Cruisers are made for days like this — comfortable seating, room for family and friends, shade, cabin space, and the ability to spend a full day on the water without feeling cramped. Whether you are cruising the Great South Bay, heading toward Fire Island, watching fireworks from the water, or just enjoying a relaxing ride, a cruiser makes the day better.

From all of us at White Water Marine, have a safe and happy 4th of July. Enjoy the weekend, watch your wakes, respect the no-wake zones, and make some memories on the water. If you are ready to upgrade your summer, come see us in Sayville and let’s get you into the right boat.
