Al Grover’s High and Dry Marina

**Celebrating Our 73rd Year Of Excellence**

Our story begins with Al Grover, who at a young age had a fascination and love
of the water. After serving in WWII as a paratrooper, Al Grover returned to
long island where he pursued a career on Freeport’s waterfront. He started
first by buying a jersey skiff and fished commercially for several years, he
was able to moor his boat (free of charge) behind an empty building. The
vacant building soon became available and with the help of his brother in law
Grover purchased 195 Woodcleft Ave, Freeport, NY (the street now known as The
Nautical Mile).
