Brewer Bruce & Johnson's Marina, is less than one half mile from Long Island Sound on the marsh-lined Branford River. Branford was first settled in 1638 by the Mattabesech Indians and was initially called 'Totoket.' It is believed that the name changed to Branford as a namesake to Brentford, England. As a highly accessible port, ships traded lumber, livestock and produce among other items from the West Indies.

Branford still offers excellent protection during stormy weather plus Brewer offers a family-oriented marina with a pool, restaurant, playground and picnic areas. Brewer Bruce & Johnson's Marina boasts 500 slips and is home to the annual Branford Festival, fairs, retail shops, grocery stores and restaurants.

The Thimble Islands, just three miles east, offer close cruising, while the Marina's central location along the Connecticut coast, is just 65 miles from New York City, and only 25 miles to Plum Gut, the gateway to some of the greatest cruising in the world including Shelter Island and Peconic Bay. Port Jefferson is also just a short trip across Long Island Sound.
