Hudson River Maritime Museum
No fuel
no pump out
Floating docks
Great response from the dockmaster

We have a 50 foot trawler. We docked right under the 9W bridge. The highway noise didn't bother us.
We were right in front of the tour boat, which left at 11 and 2:30. It was fine.
We got great help docking. There is significant tide.
We were able to walk to town and the various restaurants. The museum was great, as was the lighthouse tour. The bathrooms had 2 stalls and 1 huge shower. There aren't a lot of boats able to dock here. Very calm and nice to view the creek.

Very nice marina with great dock help. Docks are floating which is great. Restrooms are nice. No laundry at Marina. Ice is cheap Maritime Museum has free admission for people who dock here. Restaurants very close by and some stores. Ole Savannah has great Happy Hour with free appetizers. Groceries and other places a little farther away. There is a free bus service but you hardly see them! There are Lyfts and Ubers available. Kingston is very spread out but an interesting stop.

Dock master was waiting for us on the dock in the pouring rain, even though it was an easy in face dock and it was obvious where we needed to go. NIce waterfront business district, had a great pizza at Savona's. Cool little museum and Wayne at the wooden boat school next door gave us a private tour, while he was waiting for his night class to start.

Wanted to stay more than one night, but they were all booked up.

The museum has not made a commitment to transient dockage. Docks are weathered but good power. Wifi is weak. The Maritime and Trolley Museums are well worth a visit. Easy walk to town. Round Out Creek provides good protection.

It is an easy approach for a side tie and you are literally right in front of the museum. If you are going, you need to reserve your dates early. We had to alter our schedule since a tall ship was coming in for a 7 day stay and they needed all the dock space. Electric was fine. However, we did not see any water on the pier. There are showers and bathrooms available with a code, so you are not tied to the museum's hours. It was a quick, level walk to Ol Savannah restaurant with one of the best gumbo's around.
