50 amp power, excellent Verizon cell service, no Wi-Fi, adequate bathrooms, no showers, good dock hands. Good water to fill tanks. Restaurant food was very good. Staff was attentive. Restaurant atmosphere is extremely casual. Minor wind and boat waves. Overall a fun experience.

Chuck diagnosed and fixed our mechanical issue quickly. Well protected marina, short walk to Manhattan or Statue of Liberty ferry. Clean, modern, docks and bathrooms. Two good restaurants on site. Park next door. Liberty landing is one of the best anywhere.

Marina Review for Safe Harbor Capri

Capri advertises being a full service marina for most types of repairs or service. The marina has typical Safe Harbor amenities: good floating docks, clean restrooms, security and competent dock staff. We left our boat with Capri for 10 days. During that time, they agreed that they would replace the battery charger and potable water pump, detail and wax the boat, replace the caulk in one shower and replace one air conditioner controller. The only project that they accomplished was replacing the water pump and they delayed our departure by two days to do it. I received no explanation for why they did not accomplish any of the other tasks. They charged us 3 hours labor to install the water pump and 3.5 hours for work on the battery charger. It took me less than 10 minutes to find the proper replacement charger and order it. I complained to the manager about the excessive hourly charges and he said that he would not make any adjustments to the bill.

Marina Review for North Cove Marina (IGY)

Beautiful facility and location. With One World Trade Center as a backdrop, the marina makes great photos to send home. Walk inside or out just a few blocks to the subway. Dozens of restaurants nearby. Upscale shops in the mall next to the marina. Sizeable boat wakes all afternoon and into the evening. Probably a safe area with security patrols and the beautiful people jogging at all hours, but no gates to stop the public from the docks. Excellent bathrooms in the mall during mall hours. No showers. No laundry.

Best deal in New York for AGLCA and Yacht Club members. John is the best. Nothing fancy, but safe, secure and totally adequate floating dock facility with clean bathrooms and public buses to the city.

Best location. Right in the historic district. Great bathrooms. Strong tidal currents can test your docking skills, but not too tough since typically current and wind are on the bow or stern.
