Stories from the Marina
Moonbeam Gateway Marina continues to stand out as one of New York City’s premier waterfront destinations, thanks to ongoing upgrades and a strong commitment to enhancing the boating experience.
On October 13, 2020, Assemblyman Steven H. Cymbrowitz of New York’s 45th District toured Moonbeam Gateway Marina to view recent upgrades led by CEO Steven Maksin.
Despite earlier speculation, party boats from Sheepshead Bay will not be moving into Gateway National Recreation Area’s marina by next spring.
Nestled in a prime Brooklyn location, Moonbeam Gateway Marina offers boaters the perfect blend of convenience and coastal charm. Just minutes away from Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach, and Gerritsen Beach, it’s an ideal spot for those who want to stay close to the city while enjoying the open water.
The long-running debate over relocating Sheepshead Bay’s “booze cruise” party boats took another turn in mid-2018, when Brooklyn Councilman Alan Maisel suggested that the federally managed Gateway National Recreation Area could provide a viable solution.
The National Park Service (NPS) has officially awarded the operation of Gateway Marina, located within the Jamaica Bay Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area, to Moonbeam Leasing & Management LLC.
