Located to the east of Queens and stretching 118 miles along the ocean, Long Island is a popular destination for outdoor and beach enthusiasts alike, but after a day exploring the many area attractions, there's no better way to experience some local cuisine than out on the water.

While sailing through calm waters, there's often a pleasant breeze even in the hottest months of summer, allowing you to relax and enjoy the lovely landscape of Long Island.
