As summer fades, most people pack away their swimsuits and assume boating season is over. But around Red Bank and the Navesink River, fall is actually one of the most magical times of year to be on the water.
A Different Kind of Beauty
Crisp air, golden sunsets, and fall foliage lining the rivers and bays create a backdrop you simply won’t find in July. Imagine cruising down the Navesink with vibrant leaves reflecting on the water or anchoring at Sandy Hook with clear autumn skies overhead. It’s peaceful, picturesque, and far less crowded than summer.
Perfect Conditions
Fall brings cooler temperatures, but the water is still comfortable. The winds are often calmer, and with fewer boats competing for space, you’ll feel like you have the river to yourself. Fishing also heats up in the fall—striped bass and bluefish are active in our waters, making it a great time to cast a line.
Local Flavors by Boat
Boating this time of year isn’t just about the ride. It’s about where the water can take you. Dock and dine at Red Bank’s waterfront restaurants, or plan a trip toward Sandy Hook and the Jersey Shore for a seafood lunch. Afterward, cruise back while enjoying a spectacular sunset—it’s the kind of day that makes you fall in love with boating all over again.
