Marina on Connecticut River to be auctioned in April

The site is near dining, wineries and breweries and by boat can reach Long Island Sound, according to the auction company.

A 12-acre marina on the Connecticut River is scheduled to be auctioned in April, according to JJ Manning Auctioneers.

The auction company lists the property at 684 and 700 Tryon St., in South Glastonbury. Its auction reference number is 24-2048.

The auction date is scheduled for noon on Friday, April 26, 2024, according to JJ Manning. The view date is noon to 2 p.m. Friday, April 19. There was no answer listed at the number for the marina. Its website also was no longer available.

JJ Manning lists the site as “Glastonbury Marina” on 12+/- acres, and notes it includes a “private basin on the Connecticut River.” Tax records show 700 Tryon Street was purchased in 2021 for $2.8 million.

The site is near dining, wineries and breweries and by boat would be 1.5+/- hours to Long Island Sound, according to the auction company.

The JJ Manning brochure for the site notes it was: “Most recently in operation as the 176± wet slip f/k/a “Glastonbury Marina.”

“In July of 2023, record-setting torrential rains inundated the Northeast as “Great Vermont Flood” waters flowed into the Connecticut River resulting in unprecedented flooding and property damage along its entirety to the south,” the brochuse notes. “During this historic weather event, 86± basin & shoreline slips were protected, but 90± slips on seasonally removed fingers floating on the East side of the river were lost with pilings & shore dockage remaining.”
