Hoffman’s Marina in Brielle, NJ

Hoffman’s Marina
602 Green Ave.
Brielle, NJ 08730
Manasquan Inlet

Hoffman’s Marina is located just a quarter-mile inside of the Manasquan Inlet with easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway. They also manage three local restaurants, River Café, Waterman’s Tavern, and Waypoint 622, all within a five-to-ten minute walk from the docks.

I have stayed at Hoffman’s Marina several times for fuel and an overnight stay in one of their transit slips. The current is strong and I had to turn the boat around and used the engine to maintain my position while sliding to port and accomplished a Captain Ron docking maneuver. First time I ever did that.

We tied up on B Dock at the T-Head in Hoffman’s Marina so leaving out the morning was fast and easy. However, there is a commuter railroad track that divides the marina in half and our stay proved to be a noisy evening. The fuel dock was easy to access and the bathrooms were clean. I did not eat at the restaurants, swim in their pool, or use their laundry facility, but they are available for slip renters.

There is not a grocery store within what I would consider “walking distance” from Hoffman’s Marina, but I did find a convenience store less than a mile west of the marina and I walked there in 15 minutes to buy a few things.
