Kitto's Marina

We do have gas now! ⛽️ However, please call ahead. 315-639-4755. We will have regular business hours soon, but are just a bit behind due to the situation with Dad, a.k.a. Duff. Thank you for your patience.

As we open the 2026 season at Kitto's Marina it would be remiss to not inform you that my dad, Duff Kitto, will be coming "home" to enjoy this very view for as long as he has left. Without him, there would be no Kitto's Marina. It's bittersweet to "officially" take the reins of owning and operating this place Eddie and I now call home. My father is the greatest man I have ever known and we promise to continue to make him proud. Our hearts are heavy, but our faith is strong.

We love you dad,
Diantha Eddie Velasquez

The one and only Duffer has been supervising the marina opening so far with his lovely bride! We can use some extra thoughts and prayers for him, today especially. 🙏 He's still "with it" though, because he wanted me to remind returning dockage patrons that today is the deadline (May 15) to notify us you are returning! 😆 Hey, he's not wrong! And we have a waiting list so... 😎

The 1st boat is in the marina for the season! Our resident goose, named Mama Joy, didn't give Mr. Bill Rafferty the warmest welcome, but I think they declared a truce!

This is a "business page" I realize. But we are sharing some personal business because we run Kitto's Marina, a family business, with you, our "marina family." As we look forward to warmer temps and sunny days, please keep my dad, Duff Kitto, in your thoughts and prayers. Without getting too personal, he is having significant health challenges. My mom, Sue Kitto, is as well. My parents have always instilled in us to work hard, but still smile! And that is what we intend to do here! Dad is staying with us so we can care for him. If you would like to leave a favorite memory or words of encouragement for him below, I can read it to him. In the meantime, I am sharing a (lengthy) video below about how he and HIS father started this very marina that Eddie and I now operate! My dad is my #1 fan and I am his (or maybe Eddie is). ❤️. Enjoy 12 minutes of wisdom from the video we made in 2024 for the 75th anniversary of the marina!

Our patriarch, "Duff" Kitto, has been in and out (and back in again!) of the hospital for about a month now. He and his father started this marina and passed the torch on to us. We wouldn't be able to serve you without their OG work! Please continue to keep him, and our family, in your prayers. That being said, we are prepping the marina and getting ready to see you on the water real soon. Now if you could also pray for warmer weather, that would be great! 😎🌞😘⚓️

Mr. Homan is welcome ANYTIME at Kitto's Marina. We do not discriminate. 🇺🇲😎⚓️

A Sackets Harbor business owner has told U.S. border czar Tom Homan that Homan will have to find a new place to park his boat.
