Summer Activities Portland Riverside is a family marina operating in the old-fashioned tradition. The staff is friendly and welcoming and help is available with just about any kind of problem. Customers are free to work on their boats and good advice is plentiful. Each summer, the marina hosts a popular party in connection with its annual Catfish Tournament. The marina is located 33 miles north of Old Saybrook. The river isn't difficult to navigate but those new to the river are advised to stay within the wide channel, which is well marked. The swing bridge at Haddam provides approximately 15 ft. clearance at normal high tide and opens for pleasure boat traffic on the half-hour. Portland is an ideal stop for those cruising to Hartford, which is 20 miles farther north. The cruise to Hartford passes through some of the most beautiful sections of the Connecticut River. Portland Riverside is the winter home to hundreds of boats up to 50 feet. Inside storage is available on a first-come basis. Outside storage is plentiful and shrink-wrapping is available. For fitting out in the spring, most locations have water and electric available. The marina's large open travel lift makes it possible to haul most sailboats without mast removal. If desired, masts can be removed and re-stepped with the marina's large crane. They are stored in plastic and under cover.
