Centerport is located within the town of Huntington of Suffolk County in Long Island. It marks the east end of Long Island's infamous "Gold Coast", the term used to describe the stretch of area known for its wild affluence and magnificent estates. Centerport's contribution to the Gold Coast is the well-known Vanderbilt Estate, owned by William Kissam Vanderbilt II. The rest of Centerport is known for its residential neighborhood and long, winding driveways. Centerport's waterfront location draws in all kinds of sailing and boating fanatics. The yacht club sponsors a variety of racing fleets and regattas every year generally beginning in the late spring and ending mid-autumn. Its close proximity to the Huntington shopping village makes it a great place for residents and visitors alike.
