Haverstraw marina was a lot better 20 years ago. We re-visited the haverstraw marina in late August 2016. Docks are very worn out, rickety aluminum docks. Were only two very tiny cleats to tie off and very hard to dock since the slips are so tightly spaced to maximize how many boats they can accommodate. Pool was small and we couldn't get a chair to sit on around the pool for almost an hour. The local boatters generally do not like visiting boaters for some odd reason. Was told that we couldn't BBQ off the boat whatsoever, and the restaurant albeit so so decent food, is highly overpriced as there's absolutely no town whatsoever to walk to. This marina a is in a hugely industrial setting and we only went there to visit guests who lived on the Rockland County side of the Hudson there. We will definitely stay across the way at Half Moon Bay Marina in the future. Prior reviewer certainly sounded like he had a major axe to grind and definitely embellished his review. Giving it one star as our dog couldn't stand the hot metal docks here at Haverstraw amd the lack of any dock hands or attention to helping out in gemeral

We have docked at Half Moon Bay Marina many times and twice in the past few months. We found that most of the docks have been replaced by new ones, not to mention the power isn't exposed anywhere. Quite the facility with top notch dock master. The town has really great restaurants that are all easy to walk to. Their sea wall is award winning and takes out a good 75% of the waves. Sure, in a real bad NW storm there's a little swell in the marina, but during most average windy days, the wall is amazing at protecting the docks. We originally found the marina due to them winning several national awards for favorite marina. We haven't ever experienced any duck or goose poop there either. Steve runs a very clean operation there and we're looking forward to returning in the fall to see the fall foliage.

Definitely worth staying at Half Moon Bay. Outstanding customer service and beautiful surroundings. Deep water and very protected.
