We tour the North Fork routinely for both biking and boating. When we were at the Greenport Rendezvous last year, we had a great time touring the small maritime museum by the ferry dock, and then toured the NY Fireboat which is moored next to the ferry dock and is being refurbished by a bunch of former firefighters and others. They showed us everything on board stem to stern. Both are free and both very enjoyable. Greenport also has a chandlery/vintage yachting junk store a short walk away. You could drive to Sag Harbor, count the Maserratti’s parked on the street, look at the huge motor and sail yachts on the docks, have lunch at Espresso (best sandwiches around) take the ferry to Shelter Island, drive across and take the ferry to Greenport, see the sights and reverse the ferry trips. We do that trip by bike every year and always enjoy it. Dave PS to whomever posted- I grew up a stone’s throw from Melville in South Huntington and sailed out of Huntington Harbor in my youth
