We had a great stay. Steve is the most responsive and accommodating dock master we have met in our over 100 marina experiences on the Great Loop.

Steve (Marina Managing Partner) is always extremely helpful…even for late arrivals. He also provides lots of great advice on local areas to see.

Beautiful marina. Steve made sure we had all the information we needed to local attractions, restaurants and marina amenities. Will definitely be back!

Excellent destination. Everything was fantastic and we will visit again this season. Steve went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The facilities are really nice and local restaurants are excellent and in walking distance.
Thanks!!

It is a very pretty marina. We enjoyed the walking trail and the stores and restaurants were within a mile of the marina. Apple Farm is an awesome grocery store and A&S Deli made great subs and salads. Dinner at Ocean House was excellent if you like seafood. Sebastian and Steve at the marina were very helpful. I didn’t realize that gas was not available right there though. The restrooms and showers were clean and there was a gym and sauna which I think were available to the transients but I didn’t use them.

We stayed for 2 nights. Very attentive staff and a well protected marina. Wonderful Greek restaurant, ice cream, bagels and deli within walking distance. Beautiful Croton Gorge Dam/Park a short Uber ride away.

Our first visit was pleasurable! Friendly and helpful dockmaster and assistant. Lots to do in the area. A great Greek restaurant within walking distance and some interesting walking trails. Recommend two nights since there's so much to do.

We had a great multi-day stay at Half Moon Bay Marina this week. Steve’s regular communications prior to our arrival and throughout our stay was the best that we have experienced throughout or 2,600 nm journey thus far. The pdf welcome document that he provided was excellent and had tons of information on the area that helped us get the most out of our stay. The Marina is in a great location with most anything we needed within an easy walk including the Post Office, CVS, groceries and restaurants. (Happy Hour at the Piato Greek Kitchen was great). We also easily visited the USMA, in West Point and had a fabulous meal at CIA in Hyde Park. We will definitely return to Half Moon Bay during our next visit.

Absolutely our favorite marina stay in our 2 year loop! We found all the floating docks to be in great condition, clean, and very stable. Clean restrooms and great amenities, giant bike racks, free pumpout- it actually works quite well! Strong WiFi.
Excellent sea wall protection! Town is a very short walk 1/4 mile to half mile, and the digital and paper welcome packets Steve and his staff gave us are filled with endless choices of stellar restaurants like the Greek place Piato. The Ocean House for seafood and Tavern at Croton landing are both amazing as well. Deep water and excellent wifi. Great deals on Enterprise Rental Car which is next door and plenty of free parking at the marina. Highly recommend and superb staff who are a cut above the rest with being helpful, friendly and will make you feel like you're their only guest. The Croton Gorge Dam is absolutely stunning and so relaxing. Must see!

We've stayed at a few nearby marinas before visiting here. Half moon bay is outstanding. Yesterday, during a monster wind storm with fierce gusts and lightening, we felt very safe and the docks were wonderful and protective. Our wide finger pier as well as surrounding ones were all brand new with new wood and new floats. Facilities as well as the quaint town are great! Very easy, quick & flat walk to a great town with lots of variety in restaurants and supermarkets.
Approach depth Deep and inside marina is also deep water. WIFI was solid. Walked to the most delicious Greek restaurant, Piato, not even a quarter mile walk to the fabulous Ocean House seafood restaurant and Tavern next door to it. A large CVS, Outstanding produce store called Apple Farm, Ice Cream /Bagel store and anything and everything you can want or need within an easy 1/4 to 1/2 walk. Uber or cabs are only 6 dollars to get around and easy to obtain last minute. We also had our laundry picked up, washed, and returned all folded and perfect within 3 hrs and the price was extremely reasonable. Do it yourself laundry is a super close by place too, and quite convenient...
Steve provides you w a google doc that is so informative with maps , directions, endless local places to check out…
Nice men’s and women’s restrooms.
Steven’s office mgr got us a coupon code for Enterprise that gave us a nice discount!
Don’t miss visiting the gorgeous waterfalls at the Croton Dam. Rented powered bikes from Pedego in town and rode there as well as endless other trails that start from the marina entrance. Can’t wait for a return trip in the fall. Of the hundreds of marinas we have been to in the past 3 decades, this is one of our most memorable. Highly recommend this marina to anyone. Thanks guys!

Great, friendly staff Steve goes above and beyond. However, the docks are not great. Storm (we had one) and wake swells flex the docks a lot. We were on a T head and were bounced quite a bit to the point that our fender hangers gouged our teak rub rails. Probably need to get different fender hangers. 😊
Marina Response:
Appreciate your feedback -**We had very rare tornado strength wind/ thunderstorm, that resulted in hundreds of trees down all over westchester county, road closures all over, caused fatal car accidents as a result of the high winds, and hundreds of damaged houses all over the county. No damage to our docks as our docks are all fitted with brand new floatation and steel reinforcements. Aside from some of the top surface boards being a little sun bleached, the docks are in excellent condition. *We're very sorry your teak rails got gouged. The neighboring marinas all had sunken docks and quite extensive damages.

The staff were professional and courteous. They made us feel right at home. The crew at the marina helped with our docking, gave us pointers as well as a map of the town! Showers and restrooms were clean and easy to access. Great marina to doc at! I only wish we had time to stay longer
Marina Response:
Thank you! We hope you'll be able to visit us again!

Half Moon Bay was a fantastic stop. Starts with Steve, he is very attentive to making sure you have everything you need and gives an excellent review if what is available at the marina and in town. We walked to town for a wonderful dinner at the Tavern. Lots of water and very easy in. Highly recommend !!

Friendly and quiet marina that is well cared for and looks after its clients. We had a warm welcome from other boaters and found the dockmaster Steve most helpful.
Half Moon Bay Marina was the perfect stop after a 5 hour run up from NYC while traveling north on the Hudson. We had a peaceful sleep on our boat with occasional gentle rocking.
Local amenities are within walking distance, especially a nice Italian deli in town and a craft beer hall not far from the Metro North Station.
Overall, a great marina for anyone doing the Great Loop. 👍

Mike and the dockhands met us and handled the lines well. Marina could use a little repair work. Mike was a great help in trying to help get our dog to an accredited vet for the new paperwork the US is implementing. That being said…. he is a great guy but needs to be a little more transparent when discussing fees and discounts. Bath facilities could use and update. No laundry. Wi-Fi not good. Great little town a walk away.
Marina Response:
Thanks for feedback. We have a stellar free pickup/ redelivery laundry service that is exceedingly inexpensive as well as 2 do it yourself places very short walk. Wi-fi now fixed and new system in place. Bathrooms are currently being renovated. Marina is steadily undergoing constant improvements daily. We hope you can visit again.

We spent 3 nights at Half Moon Bay and had a great stay. The harbor is well protected. We draft 5’ so we do recommend arriving and departing at at least +1’ as the bay in was 7-9’ at low tide. We took the train into the city, rented a car and visited the gorge and West Point. After touring all day it was great to return to the marina and our slip. I would recommend this as a stop on your way up the Hudson.
Marina Response:
Most areas on the approach are 3 feet deeper than any of the charts show, but we're very happy you got to do so much and enjoyed. Hope to see you again in the future!

We weren’t planning on stopping at HMB, but we are so glad the did. We reached out to Steve and he was able to accommodate our late request. We were arriving early evening and he provided detailed navigational instructions and many recommendations for local attractions. The train station and enterprise car rental were both very easy walks.
Great walking paths and dog friendly neighborhood. They also offer self serve pumpouts with your visit. Thank you Steve and team for making our visit welcoming and enjoyable!

Great, protected marina with everything you need within close, easy walking distance. Deep Water and beautifully scenic bike/ dog walking paths along the Hudson on both sides of the marina! Short trips to many nearby historic landmarks. Marina sends the most impressive digital welcome package we've ever seen!
The facilities are clean, and very well maintained. Free powerful Pump out and Wi-Fi. Don't miss a meal at Piato Greek Kitchen just up the road in the quaint town. Entire approach and marina is at least 3 to 4 feet deeper than the charts show - no shoals, or shallow areas. Looking forward to our return trip this fall. Thank you to Steve and his awesome staff!

This is a small marina but everyone is really nice and the facilities are great. There is a private gym, sauna, and shower/toilet facility which is well-stocked and clean. The slips are nice and there is a stockade between the docks and the river. It’s a great place to overnight.
My one negative comment would be the Wi-Fi isn’t great. However, the cell reception was great for my hotspot.

Docks a little "tired" but Steve and Eric were there to welcome us and help us into the slip. Good location..able to walk to restaurants, grocery and shops. Showers and RR clean. Would stay again.

Nice marina with lots to do in the area.
FYI, if you arrive after noon on Saturday the local Enterprise Car rental is closed until Monday morning. The facilities at the marina are nice and there is a big breakwater all which offers protection from passing wakes. Unless the wind whips up the Hudson, then there will be some rock and roll!
There is also a beautiful paved walking trail along the Hudson and you can walk into town on part of it.
Easy walk to some nice restaurants, a great little local market and the liquor store. We had a fabulous meal at Asagio Sushi.
They are pricey but hey, it’s NY!
by Lorenz D. - Verified user on Jun 07, 2024
Very nice staff, but expensive for no laundry or pool and only 1 shower. Pump out worked well. Be careful having packages delivered, they are left outside.
Marina Response:
Sorry we didn't point out that we have an incredibly inexpensive laundry service who picks up and drops back off laundry non stop for free within not even an hour and a half...they're adjacent to the huge shop rite supermarket in town. Although there is a shower in mens and one in women's room, they will be adding showers within 2 weeks time. Packages are brought inside at 930pm and we have never in 30 yrs had any issues whatsoever. They are under camera surveillance as well. We truly hope you can visit again and we wamt to exceed your expectations. Have a wonderful summer.
