Thinking about buying a boat on Lake Hopatcong – or looking for an easier way to get on the water in 2027? October 10 is a great day to stop by Bridge Marina.
Yes, we’ll have boats for sale. Lots of them. New boats, pre-owned boats and boats coming out of our boat club and rental fleet.
But our End of Season Fleet Sale & Open House is about more than shopping for a boat.
We invite you to come climb aboard. Ask questions. Learn something new. Find out what boating could look like for you in 2027. And take advantage of some first-ever fall specials we don’t offer every day.
Here are just 10 reasons to join us on 10/10.
#1: Pre-Register. Get a Free Gift.
How’s this for an easy first reason? Get a free gift just for showing up!
Pre-register for our End of Season Fleet Sale & Open House and we’ll have a complimentary gift waiting for you when you arrive.
Registration is free – just let us know you’re coming, then stop by on October 10, grab your gift and enjoy everything happening at the marina.
You’ll also be the first to hear about featured inventory, event details and anything new we add as October 10 gets closer.
#2: Climb Aboard & Compare
Step aboard different boats. Sit in the seats. Check out the storage. Compare layouts. See what feels too big, too small or just right.
Whether you’re seriously shopping or just starting to figure out what you like, there’s no substitute for getting on board, and we’ll have plenty of opportunities to do just that!
No pressure and no big trip required. Stop by, walk on and off as many boats as you’d like, and enjoy a fall afternoon on Lake Hopatcong while you’re here!
#3: Buy This Fall. We’ll Make Your Boat Spring Ready.
Buying a boat in October shouldn’t mean that your next step is immediately worrying about what to do with it all winter. So we’re taking care of that.
Purchase an eligible new, pre-owned fleet or Bridge Marina-owned stock boat during our fall sale and our Spring Ready Special* is included:
Winterization. Storage. Spring recommissioning. Spring orientation.
Find your boat this fall. We’ll help make sure it’s ready when boating season comes back around.*
#4: Get a Taste of Training
If you want to be a better, more confident boater… start with us.
We’ll be offering complimentary boating how-to’s throughout the event! Stop by to pick up a new skill, ask questions and get a taste of the hands-on approach we bring to boater training at Bridge Marina.
Already have experience? Come learn something new.
Brand new to boating? Even better! Boating is much more fun when you’re comfortable behind the wheel!
#5: Buy a Boat. Secure Your 2027 Slip on Lake Hopatcong.
Found the right boat? Great! Let’s also answer the next two questions:
Where am I going to keep it? And who is going to take care of my boat when I need help or service?
With an eligible fall boat purchase and slip deposit, we’ll guarantee your slip placement for the 2027 season at Bridge Marina.* One thing less to figure out before spring!
#6: Help Us Celebrate 20 Years of Bridge Marina Boating Club
Bridge Marina Boating Club started in 2006 with just four boats on Lake Hopatcong. 40+ boats and 2 locations later, with thousands of members enjoying their time on the water with us, we’ve been celebrating this milestone all summer!
We’ll keep our 20th anniversary celebration going on October 10 with special opportunities for 2027, exclusive 20th Anniversary Club merch and more!
And if you’ve been waiting for the right time to join Bridge Marina Boating Club, this is it. We’ll be offering some of our best Boat Club values and savings before the 2027 boating season.
#7: Buy Now. Pay in Spring.
See the boat you want? Buy it now without paying the entire purchase price this fall.
On designated boats, our Buy Now, Pay in Spring special lets you purchase your perfect boat with a deposit this fall and the remaining balance is due March 1, 2027.*
Even better, you can see many of our boats right here at the marina, in their element – not sitting on a showroom floor. Find the right boat now, get the decision made, and spend the winter looking forward to boating instead of wondering which boat you’re going to buy in the spring.
And while you wait? Your boat stays with us for the winter at no additional storage cost.
#8: Start Boating for $299
If you’ve been thinking “I’d love to boat, but I don’t know where to start,” this one’s for you.

Want to learn together? Our Couples Bundle is $499 and includes Boating Safety Certificate courses for two people plus one beginner on-water training module together – at a 33% savings!
Get the certificate. Get behind the helm. Start building real skills on the water.
#9: Pre-Owned Boat. Bridge Marina Certified.
Buying a pre-owned boat shouldn’t mean wondering what you’re getting into.
Designated pre-owned boats also include our Certified Pre-Owned Warranty, with an inspection checklist, new impeller, thermostat and fluids, spring cleaning, Preferred Service Membership through July 31, 2027, applicable transferable manufacturer warranty, and Bridge Marina warranty coverage through the earlier of 40 engine hours or July 31, 2027.*
In other words: you have great peace of mind when you buy your boat from Bridge Marina!
#10: Get Real Boating Advice
Not sure whether you should buy new or pre-owned? Pontoon or fiberglass? Own a boat or join our Boat Club? Maybe you want to rent a boat, take a boating lesson – or you’re simply trying to figure out whether boating is right for you at all.
Talking with our team at Bridge Marina is a little different. Bridge Marina offers boating education, hands-on training, boat rentals, boat club membership, boat sales and service. We’re not here to steer everyone toward the same answer. Instead, we’re here to help you understand your options and find the one that makes sense for you – even if, for now, that simply means learning more about boating.
No generic internet answers. No pressure. Just a real conversation with people who spend their days helping people enjoy boating.
