    A great stop. Nice docks and the city right at the door step. Dinosaur Smoke House right beside the marina has the best Brisket BBQ we had for a long time. Well worth it.

    Excellent downtown location. Very nice docks. Staff very helpful. Place is run By Oasis Marinas. They should add WiFi and a secure gate to the docks. Visit on the Saturday Market during summer-one of the best markets.

    The marina is a floating face dock on the Hudson River LDB just above the Federal Street Bridge. The depth is 19' MLW, the docks are floating (6' tide even this far up) and they are new. The power pedestals (with water) are also in good shape. The dockmaster and his assistant made a point of meeting us on the dock to assist us and give us useful local information. There is fuel and pump out available at the north end of the dock. The marina is "bare bones. The bathrooms are up on the promenade in a trailer. There is no laundry. There is a gate to the dock but it remained open at night. The docks were well illuminated. There is not marina Wi-Fi. The dock was full with 7 40-50' foot boats tied up. The Federal Lock is about a mile upstream. Reservations are made through Snag-a-Slip.

    We came in on Friday for the Saturday Farmer's Market which has quite the reputation. There was no problem delaying our departure until after noon. The market is held just south of the Federal Street Bridge and just off the river. The area that the market is held in is filled with interesting stores and restaurants that, under other circumstances, we would love to spend time browsing. There is a large selection of restaurants within a half mile of the dock. We had an excellent meal at Dinosaur Bar-b-que on the river. The location, the service we received, the Farmer's Market all contribute to the 4 star rating that we feel is justified for this marina.

    Good marina, nice floating docks, Tom, dockmaster is terrific, 23' water at dock, 2 50 amp power works good. Great spot for staging for entering Erie Canal.

    The marina is where it is marked on the Navionics charts, just north of the Troy-Green bridge. The docks are in super shape and so are the pedestals. The staff is great too, informative and helpful.

    We took a chance on this marina. It is worth the stop. The new docks are well built and offer good power and water. There is now Wifi. The dock master was great with docking assistance and offering information about the town. The area has been updated, lots of local restaurants easlily accessible. I was surprised at the tide this far up the Hudson. It is located just below the first lock on the Hudson. Ships and barges pass by, interesting to watch and listen to them. Plenty of depth dockside.

    We didn't stay here because it wasn't time to stop yet but I definitely would in the future! BRAND new docks along the city wall with great electric and diesel. Super barbeque restaurant at the top of the ramp. Very pleasant folks who work here. If you don't stay the night, it's a great place to fuel up before you start the Erie or continue up to Lake Champlain.

    Floating docks are in bad shape. At low tide walls are falling apart and marina will probably be closed after 2016 season. Dock-master not knowledgeable
