WELCOME ABOARD FLOAT PLAN!
As boaters, it’s comforting to set sail to the marina communities we know and love. You know where the inlet can get a bit shallow. You know the best lil’ coffee shop in town. You don’t have to wonder if you’ll need an Uber to get to basic amenities, if it’s an easy stroll to town, or if your furry crew member will be welcome at any local restaurants.
But boats are made for exploring, and there sure are a lot of ports to pursue, each with their own charms and pleasures — and idiosynchracies. So you can check marinas’ websites, Yelp reviews, reddit posts and more.
Or you can follow Float Plan for curated information, personal insights, amenity reviews and all that general need-to-know before-you-go good stuff!
WHO'S AT THE HELM
We’re Mark and Hilory Coderre, longtime friends (and recent newlyweds) with a lifelong love of the southern New England waters.
Connecticut native Mark has spent over 30 years exploring the Connecticut River, Long Island Sound, Cape Cod, and beyond. And Long Island-transplant Hilory is a former travel magazine editor and author. Ozzy (aka Prince of Dockness) is our travel-loving rescue buddy.
Together, we launched Float Plan to help boaters like you confidently find perfect places to dock, dine, and discover in southern New England (and beyond).
