The 118-mile run from Manhattan across the Napeague Stretch to Montauk
Montauk sits at the very tip of Long Island’s South Fork—roughly 25 miles east of Southampton and 15 miles east of East Hampton Village across the scenic Napeague Stretch of Route 27 (Montauk Highway). Because it is the farthest point on Long Island from Manhattan, choosing the right departure window and vehicle class makes all the difference.
After exiting the Long Island Expressway (I-495) at Exit 70 onto NY-27 East and crossing the Shinnecock Canal, your chauffeur navigates through the East End villages and onto Old Montauk Highway or main Route 27 into Montauk Plaza, Fort Pond Bay, Lake Montauk or Montauk Point Lighthouse.

Packing for Montauk: surfboards, fishing gear, weekend trunks and families
Montauk trips almost always involve extra gear—longboards, duffels, coolers, golf clubs or family luggage for a week-long stay. While an Executive Sedan fits up to 3 passengers with 3 standard suitcases, our Executive SUV (Chevrolet Suburban / GMC Yukon XL) and Luxury SUV (Cadillac Escalade ESV) are by far the most requested vehicles for the Montauk run.
For larger house-share groups or wedding parties of up to 14 passengers, a custom-quoted Mercedes-Benz Sprinter keeps everyone together in one cabin.
