Milford Landing, located at the head of the harbor, was dredged last year.
They now have at least 6' or more in most of the slips at low water.
There are a dozen or more restaurants within walking distance. The marina also
has a nice patio area that can be used for gatherings.
Milford harbor is a great destination.

The owner of "Secret" also owns Port Milford - the yard on the left just after
the yacht club. I take Indigo there to winter - and have never had any trouble
getting in or out at any state of tide. Can't speak to further up the river.

I would verify depths in Milford by
calling first. I truly have no idea how anyone with 8' draft gets
in and out even at the apex of high tide. I'm sure they must have
done some serious dredging since I stopped going there about 5
years ago, or what you are saying would not even be believable! :-)
Here's an article from 2013 saying that they have dredged the town
slips to get them to 5-7 feet. Most of them were more like 2 feet
the last time I was there, and I was in their "deepest slip" which
turned out to be less than 4 feet at low tide.
Active Captain has a warning about the entrance channel to the
inlet being 2 feet deep in spots. It may be that they have fixed
it, but I'd want confirmation from someone legitimately in charge
in Milford.

We've stayed overnight in Milford several times over the
last couple of years (6'6" draft) with no issues, an there is
a Nelson Marek 42 (Secret) that races out of Port Milford that
draws 8', so if you're careful you should be OK. We love Port
Jefferson, and normally pick up a mooring at the Setauket
Yacht Club; they run launch services from 8:00 to midnight,
and I don't

Milford is one of those places where drawing no more than 5
feet is VERY helpful, if not mandatory. Unless they have
dredged it in the last 5 years or so, there were several
sand humps near the mouth of the river that my keel would
bump on my way in or out unless it was high tide. The town
operated marina at the head of the harbor is nice, but
likewise very shallow. Really just for daytripping
powerboats. They had a few (3?) deeper slips, but I was in
one of those and woke up at low tide to find I was firmly
stuck in over a foot of mud with my 5 foot draft. A scuba
diver happened by, and he stood up at the end of my slip.
The water was somewhere between his belly button and chest!
Not kidding. Too bad, because the town operated slips are
directly on the restaurant district and the price was right.
There is a nice privately owned marina, Milford Boatworks
& Marina, just down from the town facility, with deeper
slips, but it is a little further from the restaurants and
business areas and costs a bit more. I would call them about
the shoaling situation before making any plans.
Danfords Marina in Port Jeff might be able to accommodate
you with enough lead time, but $$$$$ KA-CHING! It is a great
setup, though. Right in the heart of the village with tons
of boutiques and restaurants.

John,
Not to speak for the group, but I think one of
the more fun aspects of a rendezvous is the dock meet
ups and walking around exploring other’s boats — which
is kind of lost on moorings or raft-ups.
Port Jeff is a great location, but there’s only
one really good marina and they often seem pretty packed
with boats — not sure they could group a bunch of
C&Cs together.
Clinton is a nice place, but it is pretty far
east and a little tricky to get into. However, I don’t
want to lose the attendance of those coming from places
like Eastern CT or MA either.
Milford could be a good option, being right in
the middle of the Sound.
All the best,
Edd
