In 1974, the Coneys family relocated to Huntington on Long Island and started a new business in the marine industry. The family had always had a love of being on the water, and had grown up sailing and racing in Manhasset Bay on Long Island Sound. So owning and operating a marine business was a natural fit.

Over the years, while much has changed, there's a lot that hasn't. They still operate upwards of 200 moorings, provide launch service, operate a marine store, rig boats, launch boats, store boats, and of course sell boats; occasionally, they even get the chance to sail boats! What has changed, aside from the boats getting a lot bigger, is there is now a whole new generation of Coneys involved with the business, including Austin (Grant's son), Kevin M. (Kevin R's son), Samantha (Tom's daughter), and Lucie (Kevin R's daughter).

Hang around the docks long enough and you'll see a lot of marine businesses come and go. When you find one that has stuck for decades through economic ups and downs there's a sense of comfort and reassurance that comes with that relationship.

“Over the last 50 years, we’ve met thousands of people, many of whom are now lifelong customers,” says third-generation Austin Coneys, a sales and repair technician. “We strive to leave them with the notion that sailing is simple and that anyone can do it.”
