    A family owned and operated marina and yard. The mechanics and techs know what they're doing and work quickly. A quick bike ride to WestMarine, restaurants and a decent hotel within walking distance. Don't miss NautiNell's if they're open when you're in the area!

    A jewel on the lower Hudson! We left our boat for 3 wks in NYC (an easy run via the nearby Metro North RR) and were confident the boat was safe & sound in HMB's protected harbor. Six wks later Dockmaster Steve went the extra mile to make our return visit super easy & pleasant. Climate-controlled bathrooms, free self-serve pumpout, above-average WiFi, convenient nearby shopping & restaurants.. in short, a great marina!

    Drop-dead convenient to Brooklyn Heights shopping & restaurants, and a $1,000,000 view! Excellent service, great docks, secure facility somewhat bouncy from local traffic. Make sure you get to the comfort station in the early evening...

    A favorite marina along the ICW. Samantha in the office, Zack in the back, Jovaughn on the dock.. everyone's super-nice. The facilities are nice (clean bathrooms!), the restaurant crew (and the food!) are all good.. and the area is gorgeous. Beautiful beach a short bike ride across the island. Town is so-so, but the local flora makes up for it. A+
