Celebrating Our 73rd Year Of Excellence

Our story begins with Al Grover, who at a young age had a fascination and love of the water. After serving in WWII as a paratrooper, Al Grover returned to long island where he pursued a career on Freeport’s waterfront. He started first by buying a jersey skiff and fished commercially for several years, he was able to moor his boat (free of charge) behind an empty building. The vacant building soon became available and with the help of his brother in law Grover purchased 195 Woodcleft Ave, Freeport, NY (the street now known as The Nautical Mile).
