The Sayville Ferry — which has taken beachgoers across the Great South Bay to Fire Island since 1894 — was recently approved for a 10-year lease for service to and from Cherry Grove.
The Brookhaven Town Board unanimously voted 7-0 in favor of the resolution at the meeting on Aug. 25.
“After much negotiation, code amendment, and COVID, we finally do have a deal,” said Annette Eaderesto, the Brookhaven Town attorney. “In addition to the appraised value, the ferry service had put in some luggage racks at the town’s request, so we will be giving them credit for those for the amount due.”
