Moonbeam Marina at 3270 Hylan Blvd, Great Kills Park as the federal Gateway National Recreation Area peninsula, and a mile of commercial strip. Different trades, one delivery.

Great Kills: the marina and the Hylan strip. — illustration

Great Kills has a character most South Shore neighborhoods don't have: a working marina. Moonbeam Great Kills Marina at 3270 Hylan Blvd is the primary working marina, and it pulls boat hauling, hull repair, mechanical, dock work, and the full marine service trades through the harbor. Great Kills Park, the federal Gateway National Recreation Area peninsula, encloses the harbor on the southeast.

The other side of the neighborhood is Hylan Boulevard. Great Kills owns the northeastern half of one of Staten Island's busiest mile-long retail strips (Eltingville owns the other half). Strip plazas, supermarket pads, restaurant fit-outs, retail tenant turnover. Plus the residential blocks behind it — Capes, ranches, and split-levels with mature trees.

We're 25 to 30 minutes south-southeast via the SI Expressway → Hylan, or via NY-440. Standard delivery zone. Order by 4 PM, drop by 7 AM.

Marina work needs marine-spec gear. Waterproof boots — Red Wing Worx, Timberland Pro Boondock, the Xtratuf rubber boots for the deep wet work. Carhartt OJ insulated bib overalls for the offseason hull pulls. Hi-vis class 2 around the slipways and the truck-and-trailer launches. Cut-resistant gloves, palm-coated, for the rigging and the line work. Marine-grade nitrile for the engine and bilge work.

Hylan commercial fit-outs pull the standard list — Thorogood softer-toes for the finish guys, Labo slip-resistants for the restaurant trades, the Knipex and Klein hand tools at the counter, cut gloves and dust masks by the case.

Great Kills neighborhood remodelers — the contractors doing the residential blocks behind the strip — buy the daily kit. Wolverine and Timberland Pro 6-inch boots, Carhartt rugged flex dungarees, knee pads, hammer holders. Steady, predictable, and easily handled on a fleet account.

Net-30 fleet accounts open at five items. Custom printing — screen, vinyl, embroidery — in-house, no minimums. Embroidery on the marina captain's polo, screen-print on the dockhand's tee, both delivered to 3270 Hylan in one drop.

Great Kills runs on the water and on the strip. We've got both.
