The two basins, which comprise the boatyard, are known as Green Harbor in the West and Ockers Basin in the East. In the 1800's, Green Harbor used to enter the Great South Bay at the Tiki hut area. The outer basin dock was built around 1905. Originally home to several oyster houses, the bay front location was perfect for sloops to access the rich oyster beds of the bay.
The South yard beach, located at the West basin, had a pavilion that was built by the Methodist Church around 1920.

The West basin was converted to a Navy base during World War I. The section V "Splinter Fleet" was based here until 1919. After WW1, the West basin remained home to oyster, and later clam dredges for 6 decades. In the late 70's Harry Schnepf purchased it and converted it into a recreational Marina. It was purchased by the DeAngelis family in 1995 and upgraded into the modern facility seen today.

The Eastern basin was built in 1907 by Jacob Ockers when he moved his oyster business there from Oakdale.
It was the home of the Jacob Ockers oyster house which was floated here from his Oakdale location in 1907. The original building still remains intact. Built up into the Bluepoints Company, Ockers became the nation's largest and wealthiest shipper of oysters.
Passing through several owners, the company survived until 2002 when a decline in the clam and oyster production forced the company to shut its doors. Aquired in 2004 by the DeAngelis family, it was converted to a recreational Marina and joined with the existing slips to the West. The buildings were preserved and the result is the Marina you are seeing today.
Consisting now of 9 acres of bay front with direct access to county facilities on both sides, the Marina has become one of the premier neighborhood marinas on Long Island's south shore.
