Our first day at the Great Kills Yacht Club, we moved into our regular slip and then met John Calascibetta, who made the arrangements for loopers to stay at the yacht club. John is a wonderful person…knowledgeable, interesting and lots of fun. He spent considerable time advising us about New York City and other possible ports of call with Grand Fromage. The other members of the yacht club were also extremely helpful and welcoming. We are extremely appreciative of the courtesies extended to us by the Great Kills Yacht Club.

One thing that surprised me about Great Kills Harbor is how beautiful and scenic it is. When in the harbor, you would never know you were in one of the largest cities. Here is the marsh next to the yacht club.
There are several excellent restaurants within a few blocks of the yacht club. Staten Island seems to be an easy going place with many established neighborhoods.
