Donovan’s Shady Harbor is a must stop. In our many Marina stops on the Great American Loop, we found this marina to be the BEST when it comes to hospitality! Wonderful Pig Roast and biggest Docktails!! Great floating docks, nice bath house, marina store, and awesome courtesy ride by Kathy! They exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!

We stayed a week and loved the hospitality from Brian and Kathy! Definitely a must stop as you're cruising the Hudson River!

We had a wonderful time. Billy and Kathy Donovan are the absolute best. The staff was so friendly and nice. Who knows, maybe if we do the loop again we’ll stop again.

Nice marina. Easy in/out. Very good help in docking with wind/current. Nice one or two night stay to get ready to do the Erie Canal. Nice ships store with a little bit of everything. Good restrooms/showers. Nice laundry area. Enough green space and grounds for the dogs to get a decent stretch of their legs. Wakes from the waves were minimal considering it is right on the river. Nice staff and great info from the harbor hosts that stay there.

Thanks Ronald,
If you didn’t get enough of us you can try our sister property, Mohawk Harbor, in downtown Schenectady. If you decide to stay, we can give you a ton of things to do, eat, and drink.by Todd W. - Verified user on May 20, 2026

The entire staff is great. Thank you Mike for all your help. We had a pet emergency and Mike drove us to the other side of Albany to the vet hospital. Piper is going to be fine. Be sure and enjoy the wonderful restaurant and bar.

Kathy and Brian so accommodating to all.

Shady Harbor is more than a Marina. It is a community of residential boaters and staff who readily welcome transient boaters. We look forward to staying here again next summer.

Shady Harbor is a top-notch marina. As a first time boater We have kept our boat at Shady Harbor for the last two years and the staff is nothing but extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. All of the other boaters that dock at the marina are as friendly as you can get. Great place to be at in the summer.

Great marina, always something going on. Great place to dock.
