Watersports Tour - Chaparral 26 Surf

East Hampton, New York, sits along Long Island’s ruggedly beautiful South Fork, where sparkling bays and quiet coves thread through protected marshes and sandy shorelines. Here, Benich Marine brings a fresh spin to summer watersports with private charters aboard their Chaparral 26 Surf—a nimble vessel designed for wake-surfing, wakeboarding, and waterskiing. Far from crowded docks and noisy public ramps, this experience offers a true getaway on exclusive Long Island waters.

Starting at Brick Cove Marina in Greenport, the adventure unfolds on glassy ocean stretches bordered by maritime pines and salt marsh grasses. The boat seats up to six guests, perfect for families or groups of friends eager to ride dynamic wakes or take a break mid-water on inflatables tethered behind the vessel. Benich Marine’s service also includes convenient remote pick-ups from Shelter Island, Sag Harbor, and East Hampton for a modest fee, eliminating hassle and expanding your route options.

What makes this charter stand out is its personalized pace and space. The expert captain tailors runs to riders' skill levels, ensuring safety and fun from novices trying waterskiing for the first time to seasoned wakeboarders chasing fresh drops. Long Island’s relatively protected waters provide stable conditions, reducing chop and waves that typically challenge wake-sports.

Beyond the raw thrill of cutting wakes and jumping wakes, this trip offers a close-up perspective of local wildlife—oystercatchers, great blue herons, and occasionally seals—and sweeping views of the Atlantic’s changing moods. Whether it’s a midday sun soak or a late afternoon cruise catching golden light on the water, Benich Marine’s charter transforms traditional watersport trips into flexible, high-energy escapes that harness the subtle power of Long Island’s coastal environment.
