Q: Where do we board the boat?
A:
The Liberty Clipper boards guests from the Pier at Harborfront Park in Port Jefferson, NY. To find the boat on google maps just type in "Liberty Clipper" and it will locate the boarding location for you.
​
If you are in Port Jefferson and looking for the boat - we are about 0.22 miles to the right of the ferry terminal when you are facing the ocean. Just walk to the grassy park area and the boat is docked in front of there.
If you have found the Pier at Harborfront Park and the boat is not there, it just means we are out sailing.
Q: Where should I park?
A:
Check in begins 15 minutes prior to departure on the dock. If coming by car, we recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to departure to ensure that you get a space with plenty of time to walk down the dock to the check in location.
​
The closest parking option is directly behind Harborfront Park. After this is Danfords Marina and Hotel Parking, 100 Arden Place Parking and the Marina Parking.

Q: What should I wear?
A:
You're welcome to wear whatever makes you feel good! Just keep in mind we ask guests to help raise the sails and there can be the slightest lean to the boat if we catch a good breeze so heels may not be the best option.
​
Please also remember it is always about 5 - 10 degrees chillier on the water than on land so a light jacket is always recommended.

Bring whatever you need for a two hour trip on the water, this could include a light jacket, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and/or comfortable shoes.

Unfortunately not - due to operational constraints in boarding passengers we are not wheelchair accessible. To board the vessel guests must walk down a ramp and up 3 stairs to step onto the boat.
