Thanks for your response. Mostly interested in Lockes and Welch; maybe Bear, but that's a longer drive for us coming from the south.

One owner we've talked to leaves their boat on their island dock and uses the town docks as needed. That's fine if you're there all season, but we'd be mostly weekend residents, so will need some kind of mainland option.

Seems like the options are:
A) find a rental slip or valet spot to use when we're not on the island
B) leave main boat on the island dock when we're not on the island and get a little "commuter" boat on a trailer to get out to the island

For option A, would appreciate any leads on possible spots for late season and next year. So far, I've found nothing.

For option B, are there places we could park the boat on the trailer when we're not using it? We live out of state and I don't love the idea of driving back and forth with the boat every weekend.

Also welcome your suggestions on other options! We love the area and idea of an island house, but need help figuring out the logistics as you can tell
