A comprehensive waterfront modernization strategy has been proposed for the former Hampton Shipyard site situated along Weesuck Creek in East Quogue. Purchased in 2024 by a five-member investment group, the multi-acre marine facility is slated for an ecological overhaul and functional transformation designed to update aging infrastructure while introducing new recreational features.
The preliminary site layout retains two long-standing structural footprints while transitioning their operational uses. Plans call for converting a 17,300-square-foot former vessel manufacturing building into winter indoor boat storage that doubles as an athletic court space during summer months. A secondary 7,200-square-foot repair structure would undergo renovation to house an 86-seat dining establishment alongside shower amenities and storage lockers for maritime patrons. Outdoor additions include an adjoining swimming pool, a pedestrian boardwalk wrapping the creek perimeter, a refurbished bulkhead, a floating dock expansion increasing in-water boat slips from 20 to 35, and a northern parking area near Montauk Highway.
Environmental upgrades form a core component of the site plan, highlighted by the removal of a derelict residential structure and the replacement of a 1950s cesspool system with advanced innovative/alternative wastewater treatment technology. To mitigate stormwater runoff into Weesuck Creek, developers have already removed the historical launch rail system and plan to decommission the Travelift basin while installing modern catchment drainage.
Following an initial presentation before the Southampton Town Planning Board, the development team is commissioning a localized traffic impact analysis to evaluate site access logistics, potential roadway widening along Carter Lane, and neighborhood traffic flow before submitting formal site plan applications.
