We have a new river launch in service this year, aptly named the ‘Cat Catcher.’ The Cat Catcher has a recently rebuilt engine and will be the main launch for the pond and river this summer.
Our launch service for mooring customers runs 8 a.m.-5 p.m. daily, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Our team has also been working on replacing the last of the original 1970’s floating docks in time for this season.
Big physical changes are coming to the waterfront as well. We have begun the permitting process for a repair/rebuild to our aging bulkhead and hope to complete the process within the next two years.
We’re also very excited to roll out our new website this spring, complete with a new look, layout and logo. Keep an eye out, we will be going live soon!
Sailing School Update
This summer will bring major changes to the Arey’s Pond Sailing School as we end our decades long group program for kids. We’re excited to explore the opportunities for expanded private lessons, rentals, and possible charters that will come with this change.
As in years prior, we will continue to offer private sailing lessons with US Sailing Certified Instructors, as well as rentals of catboats, kayaks, and paddle boards. This year we’re excited to introduce an online booking system that will allow students to browse our offerings and book online. We will also continue to take bookings over the phone and in person.
