Another great stay at Half Moon Bay. Marina is located in a gorgeous cove the scenery is beautiful. Washrooms and showers are clean and private. No laundry but “My 3 Suds” in town has free pick up and delivery with wash and fold service. Dockmaster Steve goes out of his way to be helpful and really wants you to enjoy your stay. N.Y. City was an easy 55 min train ride away. Overall a great stay. Thanks again Steve!

Absolutely our favorite marina stay in our 2 year loop! Nice and spacious wide berthed docks, excellent sea wall protection and powerful wifi! Clean restrooms and great amenities, giant bike racks, free pumpout.
Town is a very short walk 1/4 mile walk and the digital and paper welcome packets Steve's staff gave us are filled with many choices of inexpensive, close-by restaurants, as well as endless must see local excursions. We went twice to the Greek restaurant Piato. The Ocean House for seafood and Tavern at Croton landing are both amazing as well. Great deals on Enterprise Rental Car which is next door and plenty of free parking at the marina. The Croton Gorge Dam is absolutely stunning and so relaxing. Must see! Tip: water is 2 to 3 feet deeper than charts show on approach as well as inside marina.

Great staff and dockmaster Steve always went above and beyond to assist. Floating docks in need of some repairs and runways to slips are narrow. No restaurants or bars on site and difficult to get UBER to commit to short rides.... plan on hoofing it into town
Marina Response:
Hi Tom- I'm Very sorry we placed your wide boat in a 40 foot dock. We have plenty of 55 foot docks with 25 foot beams as well as spacious T heads. As for rhe Uber situation, that is rare that they weren't immediate but what is 100 percent immediate all the time are the local taxi service. The town is obly a short quarter mile walk and the driveway is downhill. It was a pleasure meeting you and your son, and I hope you can return.

Don's ,miss Half Moon Bay before or after leaving New York City. It is a breath of fresh air with a person like Steve meeting you at the dock as being part of his family. I had not been there for three years and his welcome was "welcome home". Now that's class...

Been to many marinas on Hudson River, this is where i will stay now for the rest of my boating years on Hudson. Clean, protected, showers laundry great places close to eat, pet friendly... But what makes it great is Steve man who runs marina you need help, or need to know anything about the area Steve knows. Thats what makes it 5 stars for me Steve. John Andrighetti

Unlike any of the neighboring marinas scattered along this stretch of the river — this hidden gem stands in a class of its own. It’s not just the deep water that sets it apart, but the overall experience: clean, tranquil, and meticulously cared for. You won’t find another marina in the area that even comes close to offering this kind of oasis. From your boat, you’ll enjoy breathtaking, unobstructed sunsets over the Hudson River, all while soaking in the peaceful ambiance. Steve and his entire team—both on the docks and in the office—went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their thoughtfulness, hospitality, and genuine care made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. It’s rare to find a crew so dedicated to making guests feel at home, and they truly made our time at the marina amazing.

Gorgeous spot with deep dockage and every possible amenity available. I absolutely recommend it! Steve is the best dockmaster. He called me within minutes of receiving my reservation and provided all kinds of helpful tips about restaurants and attractions nearby. Steve also checked with us on our arrival date to confirm ETAs, provided multiple pictures and assistance of the marina layout, our docking spot, and everything else we asked. We had such a great stay that we're going back to spend another weekend at Half Moon Bay in a couple of weeks!

Beautiful setting well protected behind the wave fence with floating docks.Steve is the key to this place and is the friendliest and most helpful dockmaster I have met.

We've stayed at a few nearby marinas before visiting here. Half moon bay is outstanding. During a major storm, we felt very safe and the docks were wonderful and protective. Our wide finger pier looked fairly new and had impressive stability. 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!

Good location, floating docks, a little rolly when boats going by. Disappointed they did not have ice heard that ice machine was broken, also there was no hot water in the showers. Dockmaster Steve was very prompt and helpful getting our reservation and assigning our dock
Marina Response:
Apologies * hot water in clubhouse will be restored at noon today and Ice machine all restocked. That last exterior slip you stayed on can occasionally be a teeny bit rolly at times. We'll put you more inside the marina next time. Hope you can return again.

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.
by David N. on Aug 03, 2024
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.
by Warner H. - Verified user on Aug 01, 2024

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.

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.
