For nearly 40 years, Strictly Sail & Kayak has assisted with sailboat rigging, tuning, launching, and retrieval for the tri-state area. Hundred of sailors rely on our team every year to transport and prepare their vessels.

Launch & Retrieval

Leaving a boat on the water through the winter season is never the right move or ends up being long-term cost effective. Let our team launch and retrieve your boat properly. We will make sure it is safely transported and handled with care.

Rigging

Ask any sailor about the rigging process and they know how complicated and procedural this process can be, especially if you don’t have a crew of experts to help or if you try to do it on your own.

Hauling

We have the heavy duty trucks and machinery to get your boat where it needs to go, now you don’t have to loan your uncles truck or find a person to help, we’ve got you covered.
