A ritzy Hamptons village has been left on edge after a woman was found dead inside a docked boat at a yacht club.

Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra, 33, was located on a boat at the lavish Montauk Yacht Club 4am Tuesday, according to Suffolk County police. 

The manner of her death was unknown, a spokesperson with the agency told Daily Mail. 

Detectives with the Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad are investigating the mysterious discovery. 

The Montauk Yacht Club did not respond when contacted by Daily Mail. 

The club, which is connected to a resort and hotel next to the marina, has rooms which cost as much as $1,500 a night – along with luxe amenities like pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, and a restaurant. 

Vacationers can spend $55 on lobster pasta and $350 caviar servings at the Yacht Clubs’ famed restaurant, the Ocean Club.  

A manager, who spoke under anonymity, told Greater Long Island: ‘It’s an ongoing investigation. We’re being kept out of the loop for now.’
