In July of 2022, Safe Harbor Marinas acquired Gurney’s Star Island Resort & Marina in Montauk, NY. After nine months of investment and preparation, the company announces the official return of the storied Montauk Yacht Club.
The reimagined landmark on a peninsula in the middle of Lake Montauk has begun welcoming guests to world-class waterfront hospitality that combines luxury, adventure, and connection to the water.
“The history of Montauk Yacht Club is as rich as the location is stunning. Our teammates in Montauk and throughout the country have been working to prepare for this moment. It is our great honor and joy to bring the Montauk Yacht Club back to Long Island, to her many patrons, and to our tens of thousands of boating families in the region,” said Baxter Underwood, CEO of Safe Harbor Marinas.
First introduced in 1928, the storied destination has received extensive renovations to breathe new life into its extraordinary spaces. On its 35 acres, the property has 107 stylish guest rooms, 3 pools, 2 exquisite restaurants, indoor and outdoor bars, tennis & pickleball courts, a private beach, and more than 200 wet slips that can accommodate boats up to 300 feet in length. This irreplaceable location is the ultimate getaway to the islands and cultural icons that flourish at the eastern end of Long Island.
“We are eager to introduce luxury waterfront hospitality to the world at this incredible property.” said Regional Managing Director, Alton Chun. “It’s about world class cuisine and music next to private, sandy beaches on still and glistening waters; and limitless adventures just beyond.”

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.
It’s safe to say that before this economic collapse runs its course, there will be many sadder stories than the demise of the Knickerbocker Yacht Club.
Founded in 1874 on the Harlem River in Manhattan, it survived several moves, two World Wars, the Great Depression, Hurricane Carol and various internal crises, living on as the second-oldest yacht club on the Long Island Sound.
But unless something totally unexpected happens, it won’t see another summer. Shortly after becoming the club’s commodore in January, Dr. Brian Raskin, a Long Island dentist, reluctantly brought to board members a proposal to shut down in the face of rising costs and falling membership.
The decision to close was confirmed at a meeting on Sunday, and the property on Manhasset Bay, near Gatsby Country on the North Shore, is going up for sale.
“Pulling teeth is easy,” Dr. Raskin said. “This is hard.”
On Tuesday evening, Dr. Raskin spoke at the empty club, where tiny, brightly-colored models of members’ vessels line the wall. “It’s nobody’s fault,” he said. “In a time when Lehman Brothers, Circuit City, Merrill Lynch and Citibank are all having major issues, it’s very difficult to complain about a yacht club. It’s a luxury item. We all know that. But, still, we’re crying over the history and what this place has meant to us.”
The term “yacht club” does not exactly evoke populist sentiments or mainstream economic concerns. Still, in its own ways, this small, high-end casualty of the bust has relevant lessons.
Originally incorporated to encourage “Yachting and the cultivation of Naval Science and Seamanship,” the Knickerbocker Yacht Club has for more than a century catered both to serious sailors and to members who bought into its sense of seaside amity.
In 1907, the club moved to Port Washington, essentially the one Jewish yacht club in a non-Jewish world. Members transported their old frame headquarters to Long Island, hoisted it atop the new one and began anew. There was iceboating and frostbiting (dinghy racing) in the winter, serious racing and leisurely cruising all summer. Members’ crafts ranged from 200-foot yachts to 10-foot dinghies, but most were moderate, with owners functioning as one-person crews. The club’s Knickerbocker Cup race, started in 1982, became internationally recognized.
At its peak in the early 1980s, the club had about 290 families with 165 boats. And then, slowly, the world changed. Boating declined in popularity. Families started carting their kids to soccer games, ballet lessons and SAT classes instead of having them hang out by the water learning to sail. Living on Long Island got so expensive that older members moved away.
And even the old sort-of rich, the doctors and dentists and successful business owners who could afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on sailboats and their accouterments, found themselves feeling the pinch in the way they hadn’t in previous generations.
This was not the world of the zillionaires across the Sound in Greenwich and Darien. It was mostly people who made a good living but paid high taxes and struggled with college tuitions. Even at the yacht club, or this one anyway, making ends meet wasn’t always so easy even before the roof fell in, a reminder of just how small a slice of American life got the big rewards during the Wall Street boom years.
Membership fell to about 120 over the years and, with disaster looming, fell further this year. An attempt to merge with the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club next door fell through. Finally, the financial collapse put a noose around everyone. “That was the death knell,” said Jeanne Rosenthal, an ophthalmologist and the vice commodore, whose father taught her to sail at the club as a young girl. “This place was like ‘Cheers.’ I don’t know how I’ll survive without it.”
Knickerbocker isn’t the only club for the well-to-do that will struggle to survive. And every collapse and divorce brings its unhappy stories. This one could, too. Members ratified the decision to close, but some still feel it was a mistake, that officials panicked or refused to consider alternatives, putting irreplaceable real estate on the market with whatever intrigue that produces.
Geography aside, it’s not quite Gatsby’s world. But were he around to survey the pumped-up universe of fraud and collapse, the titanic hangover now playing out, from that big house across Manhasset Bay, he might look out to the water and give a wry smile.

A Waterfront Wedding
My husband and I recently hosted our wedding celebration at the Long Island Yacht Club, and we are so happy with our experience with the venue, the food, and the service! We are not club members (we live in California), but by a stroke of good fortune, we stopped by after last Labor Day and met the events coordinator. We learned that non-members could host events there during the off-season (and boy, is a January wedding off-season!). We loved the recently repainted and remodeled gathering space with two fireplaces, a separate bar area, and large round dining tables and couches. There are many windows, so the space is bright and well-lit (which is better than many banquet spaces in the area). We felt like we were hosting our family in our home - the staff did a fantastic job creating a comfortable, welcoming environment. The chefs prepared a great buffet (we had many options), amazing appetizers, and dessert. With the help of a local florist, we added some small decor, we brought our sheet cake, and that was all the coordinating we had to do. They can display a slideshow and play a Spotify playlist, so we showed pics from our wedding in California. All in all, we're so happy we could host precisely the kind of classy party we wanted.

Members & visitors enjoy easy access to NYC, the Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean from our well-protected City Island location. Our waterfront property has a large lawn area with picnic benches, a private beach, a fishing pier, and launch operations to get you to and from your boat. Our restaurant offers fine dining with an amazing waterfront view of the New York City skyline.
For more than 100 years, the Morris Yacht and Beach Club (MYBC) has been an institution on City Island, and our clubhouse a welcome landmark for sailors returning from a day, weekend, or extended cruise. Many have celebrated birthdays, weddings and other important events at our club, and some members have seen their children and grandchildren grow up and thrive here. Even members who don’t live on City Island call our community their second home.
When we lost the clubhouse in a fire on March 9th, 2012, many City Islanders feared that the Morris was gone, and that the property so loved by members and non-members alike would be sold. Our members united and voted to build a new clubhouse from the ground up.
Within days of the fire, Commodores from the Harlem YC, Stuyvesant YC and City Island YC called to offer meeting space and any other accommodations that we needed. The Commander of the island’s American Legion post as well as the Lido Restaurant also offered their facilities to us. At his invitation, a delegation from our Board of Directors met with Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion, who gave enthusiastic support and offered his office’s assistance.
As we continue to celebrate our new clubhouse, we will never forget the outpouring of warm feelings, generosity, and support that our fellow City Islanders have shown us. We at the Morris Yacht & Beach Club are proud and honored to be a part of the City Island community.

"Coming in- Rounding the Stake Boat, Regatta of the New York Yacht Club June 1st 1854". Marine views and pictures of ships have long appealed to collectors and popular taste. Undoubtedly, however, this print was made with the well-to-do members of the New York Yacht Club as the intended prospective purchasers.The New York Yacht Club was founded in 1844 by nine prominent sportsmen, who elected James Cox Stevens as the private club's first Commodore. They made their first sail from New York City to Newport, Rhode Island. On June 6, 1848, the Club's first annual regatta took place, thereby launching a tradition of yacht racing and an annual regatta that has occurred almost every year since (except during wartime).
This print, which depicts the New York Yacht Club's Annual Regatta of 1854, shows a long line of yachts sailing from the left distance towards the right of the image on a fair, partly cloudy day. At the far right, the yacht "Una" is going around a small stake boat (that is, a moored boat marking a turning point in the race), which has the United States flag flying atop its mast. The scene is further animated by four seagulls flying above the water in the lower left foreground. Keyed beneath the image are the names of the identified boats: "Alpha," "L'Esperance," "Twilight," plus additional names, with the the name "Una" appearing at the far right -- its placement identifying the lead vessel and ultimate winner. As recorded in the Club archives: "On the 1st of June, 1854, fourteen yachts were entered and started, and the prizes awarded to the Una, L.M. Rutherford, first class; Ray, F.M. Ray, second class; L'Esperance, W. Langdon, third class."
Nathaniel Currier, whose successful New York-based lithography firm began in 1835, produced more than 7,000 hand-colored prints in various sizes that together create a vivid panorama of mid-to-late nineteenth century American life and its history. People eagerly acquired such lithographs featuring picturesque scenery, rural and city views, ships, railroads, portraits, hunting and fishing scenes, domestic life and numerous other subjects, as an inexpensive way to decorate their homes or business establishments. As the firm expanded, Nathaniel included his younger brother Charles in the business. In 1857, James Merritt Ives (the firm's accountant since 1852 and Charles's brother-in-law) was made a business partner; subsequently renamed Currier & Ives, the firm continued until 1907.
