PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow Boater,
I hope you’ve enjoyed a wonderful boating season. Here at Strong’s, it’s a great
pleasure to see lives enhanced, and families drawn closer, by time spent on the water.
That’s why I’m so passionate about connecting families with boats they’ll enjoy,
providing premier waterside environments, and hosting memorable events
for our boaters.
2013 was a big year! Expanding our horizons, we opened Strong’s Water Club &
Marina on the Mattituck Inlet – with access to Long Island Sound. Seasonal and transient
boaters may enjoy the many amenities of the resort facility, where we provide dockage,
service and storage for boats to 75’. See inside for more on our newest destination.
I’m thrilled we’re now able to offer Strong’s seasonal dockage clients both Bay and
Sound side boating – plus privileges at Strong’s Water Club – at no extra cost. We know
how precious your boating days are; wherever you do your boating, you can trust Strong’s
to provide friendly service, sparkling amenities and the perfect atmosphere for a day on
the water. Plus, we’ve got special events brewing for you at each of our locations! If you’re
considering a new home base for your boat, join us – and watch your options grow.
Whether your passion is fishing, watersports, restaurant-hopping, overnight cruising
Eastern Long Island features distinctive waterways,
each offering unique boating experiences. The
Peconic Bay, renowned for its pristine beaches,
connects the North Fork and the Hamptons; it is
ideal for watersports and peaceful cruising. Long
Island Sound offers excellent fishing grounds and
access to the Connecticut shoreline and points
North. Grow your options this season: discover

engines — so you spend less time preparing, and
more time enjoying your boat. Helpful dockhands,
sparkling facilities and relaxing waterside environments enhance your time on the water. In-water
slips and valet dockage are available at every
location; storm-safe docks keep your boat secure.
And of course, our factory-certified technicians are
always available for your maintenance and service
needs.
With two marina properties on the Bay and one on
the Sound, Strong’s offers all access to seasonal
clients – for the price of a single dockage slip.
Choose a home base marina and enjoy privileges
at all Strong’s facilities!* If your slip is on the bay,
change the scenery for a few weeks this summer
by docking at our Sound location. Is the Sound
your home base? Expand your horizons and experience Peconic Bay for a week or two. Just ask: we’ll
relocate your boat so you can explore new shores.

“There’s nothing better than welcoming a family back from their first day on the water,” says
Jessica McCarthy, Strong’s Southampton Marina Manager. “Their ear-to-ear grins say it all.”
If you’re interested in introducing your family to boating, let Strong’s provide the tools to get
you on the water easily. Our special 3-hour new boater training sets you up to navigate the
Peconic Bay safely and comfortably. “I show clients how to enjoy the water,” notes certified
instructor Rick Gannon, “but most importantly, I make sure they demonstrate confidence
with the boat’s features as they take the helm.”
After a morning lesson, you’ll be ready to captain your boat — and discover the pleasures of
boating. Whether watersports, fishing or exploring the bays is on your agenda, we can direct
you to ideal destinations – and we’ll look forward to hearing about your adventures when
you return.

SINCE 1968
Cobalt’s swim platform makes for great entertaining. “Seating
and standing capacity is doubled behind my boat,” notes Dr.
Kronenberg, “and it’s night and day, the difference the swim step
makes.” Taking a quick dip is effortless for swimmers, and skiers
can don and remove their gear from the water with ease.
The Strong’s-Cobalt alliance endures because client satisfaction
is at the heart of both family-owned businesses. With Strong’s
commitment to “super service” and Cobalt’s industry-leading
5-year owner protection, “if there’s an issue, they take care of it,”
Kronenberg asserts. “Thanks to them, I’m never without my boat.”
COBALT
BUILT FOR LONG ISLAND
The Strong’s-Cobalt relationship was forged nearly thirty years ago, when Dave Strong
introduced Cobalt founder Pack St. Clair’s boats on Long Island. “It’s fun to hear my dad
talk about the great times our families have had together,” says Cobalt Boats CEO Paxson
St. Clair, 2nd generation. “Today, we enjoy the same benefits: a great friendship, and a

team effort in taking care of our Cobalt owners.”
Alexis Pone showing off her catch from the
swim platform of Dr. Kronenberg’s Cobalt.
Then and now, Long Island mariners have found Cobalts to be ideal companions. Built
to ocean standards, with features like a hand-laid, wood-free hull and electropolished
stainless components to eliminate saltwater corrosion, a Cobalt boat assures a superior
experience on the region’s waterways.
“Comfort is key to a great day on the water,” says East End boater Dr. Howard Kronenberg, a Cobalt owner since 2010. A watersports enthusiast— skis, wakeboards and tubes
are stored in his boat’s spacious hatches — he might wakeboard in the morning, cruise to
a waterside restaurant for lunch, then spend the afternoon fishing with friends. His
Cobalt 302’s exceptionally smooth ride enhances every one of his on-water activities.
