The "cut" between sandy point and napatree is pretty well marked with orange buoys but it is shallow in spots and narrow. If you aren't familiar with the area it will be just as quick to follow the channel markers out around the end of sandy point. From there it's a pretty straight shot out to montauk.
If you do take the cut be careful not to exit it too soon and try to take a short cut back to the launch. There are some very shallow areas between the cut and the launch.
Towing down to the launch can be fun with the one lane roads and the sharp turn onto the bridge.
