Called for assistance getting gas and the dock hand came right down. It was a last minute decision and he was patient as I got our lines ready to toss to him.

Very quiet marina on a Monday. The dock help was great. There is fuel and pump out for $5. Laundry is $2 for each. There are private showers with great water pressure. Also a pool is available. Thai Orchid is a hidden gem for fantastic Thai food. Restaurants and an Aldi and Walgreens are an easy walking distance.

The marina will fill up every spot including the fuel dock if needed. Floating wooden docks are in relatively good shape. There were 2 dockhands standing by for our arrival to help with lines. The restrooms and showers (1 male, 1 female) are in the dock office building, as are the 1 washer and 1 dryer. A small community is only blocks away with small stores and eating establishments. There is quite a bit of tidal current at peak tides, which normally runs parallel to the docks.

We spent a night here and were impressed with just about everything. The staff and members I met were nice and very helpful, and the facilities were neat and clean. We had a nice breakfast at the nearby Skyline Diner. Highly recommended!

A very convenient and accessible location to get fuel. Sturdy, floating lay-along docks for transients. Restrooms, showers and laundry facility were very clean. All the members we met were gracious and treated us like "one of their own". An intimate clubhouse with a fabulous view! We happened to be there for one of the monthly dinners and it was terrific! Several local eating establishments within easy walking distance. Albany's "South Mall" is worth a visit just to see the State Capitol, the New York State Museum and The Egg Center for the Performing Arts.
