Beautiful facility. Jimmy and the staff iare fantastic! Very helpful and they work hard to make sure people are checked in quickly and efficiently. We had dinner at the Casino and watched the concert. Great time!

+Nice docks, good location next to the brewery casino and restaurants.
-Tight blind corner entrance filled with rental kayaker, and surprisingly no pumpout facilitys.

No Amenities, however beautiful new docks and newer restaurants on premises. Casino is nearby however everything else requires an Uber. Well protected off the river.

Madison is the new marina master and she is a FABULOUS communicator. The floating docks are in great shape and she tucked us in behind a wall so it was a calm and quiet night. Not a lot to do nearby but if you are looking for an easy in and out on the Hudson and a quiet night - this is the perfect spot!!!

Fantastic marina! It is right in the middle of a mixed-use development that's only a handful of years old and very well taken care of...and right next door to a casino! Boating: the entrance is very narrow but plenty of water. It looks scary but it really isn't. As you can see from other posts, 76' boats make it into the marina with no sweat. The boat next to us when we stayed was a 78' vessel! The docks are awesome - floating, wide, like new, excellent 50 amp, great water. There are bathrooms but no showers or laundry. Brian Donovan, the marina staff person, was excellent at helping us tie and power up. Also, he was born and raised in Schenectady and can tell you where to go for everything you want! He recommended a local brewery called Frog Alley. We walked one mile to the Frog Alley Brewery in the Stockade (historic) district - past homes that are some 300 years old. Very cool! There is a river front walk, too. We wound up our day at Druther's Brewery right at the marina. Food and drink were very good. Totally worth a stop to Mohawk Harbor Marina!

Docks are beautiful and the harbor is well protected. Lots of green space for dog walking, bike riding, or just taking a walk. Donovans are trying really hard to make it a full service marina. Right now (2022) there are heads but no showers or pump out.

No showers and port o potties were dirty. Was told to pick any slip in a completely empty marina and next morning was asked to move by the person whose slip I happened to choose. This marina has a lot of potential but seems unwilling to have services both transients and locals need. I heard complaints from local yacht club members downstream, other transients and even nearby restaurant owners. This place could be the best stop on the loop with the history of the area, a great bike path, a casino and nice restaurants, but sadly most will pass it by.

Great place for a seasonal slip.
Glad the shows and fireworks are back.
Hopefully more next year.

Very nice docks. A bit shallow coming into harbor, seeing less than 6’. No showers and temporary trailer restrooms. Convenient to restuarant.

James and his crew were awesome. They were there, ready, and waiting to help us dock, tie up, and hook up to the facilities. James went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. A truly exceptional customer service experience.

Few on site amenities, no showers, pool, store …plenty of restaurants, stores , hotels, nite life, a short Uber’s drive away or walk

Nice sheltered marina on the Mohawk River. Docks are new and well constructed. Convenient restaurants nearby along with easy walking to the Rivers Casino and its entertainment and restaurants.

It is a new marina. Not just under-staffed, the was zero staff. There was a guy there to rent kayaks who had no affiliation with the marina. He tried to be helpful but he had no knowledge of bathrooms or anything else. The next day, I saw that the dockmaster had sent me an email apologizing and saying he couldn't be there but relaying docking and bathroom info. That did me and apparently the other boaters no good because none of us knew what was going on (who reads email while navigating thru a canal?)

This Marina is an absolute hidden gem!! Brand new, great docks, great power, and even decent Wifi service, you can walk to restaurants, casino, and more... and Schenectady is probably one of the nicest, most "high-end" cities in Upstate NY. Also, the young man that is in charge of the Marina, James Donovan, is truly exceptional. I stayed there for a week, and every time I'd see him, he would ask how everything was, and if there was anything he could do to make my stay better. Also, he always had a smile on his face -- which honestly, can sometimes be in short supply in marinas in this part of the world, especially during peak season!

Lovely Marina, great dock hand assistance👍
by Joseph R. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2021
Marina is new and beautiful. Very few boats on July 4th weekend and we couldn’t find any employees. There was no information on any of the amenities. We did have a good dinner at the brewery on site but had no access to pools bathrooms etc.
by HR N. - Verified user on Jul 02, 2021
This was a New Marina. However, there was no dockmaster. After walking around we found an office who managed to call somebody who was the dockmaster. We did get a Wi-Fi. There is no place to put trash and the marina was not well laid out be used by boats. Since there were no services provided and the amenities weren’t there the price was outrageous.
by Jeff W. - Verified user on Jun 24, 2021
Really like this place. Grants was very good, dogs had great time playing in the wide open manicured field. Thanks.
by Steve C. - Verified user on Jun 15, 2021
Marina was clean and neat. Don’t expect any help, directions etc. made a reservation on line (no one answers phone even though message says their hours), you can leave a message but it’s hours before someone calls you back. Online they ask what time you’re arriving so someone will meet you. Nope. Don’t answer radio, don’t answer phone. So we just picked a spot. Marina is deserted, only 3-4 boats there.
Someone finally calls several hours later (from my morning message) didn’t even know we were already docked. Gave us WiFi code (hardly a signal) asks if we need bathroom code. That’s it. Nothing about where to take trash if we have, do we need a pump out, info on area, zip.
We’re pretty self sufficient so it wasn’t an issue but many folks need help and would be disappointed.

Fantastic stop 50’ off the canal. The Shaker and Vine is a restaurant next to the marina. They have a chocolate fondue that is to die for, plus red wine slushes. Live music on Friday nights. Modern harbor no rocking
by Stacy D. - Verified user on Jun 06, 2021
Marina was great, food was great, atmosphere was great. Only downfall is there are no showers and you’re not allowed to use the pool which to me is misleading since it’s in the photos advertising the marina.

One of the most unique marinas in NY. A must visit if passing through. This Harbor is a man made cut lagoon off the Mohawk River. The Marina itself doesn’t offer many amenities itself but that’s not what this place is a about. The surrounding grounds are amazing. Walking distance to Rivers casino with its shops and restaurants, short shuttle bus available (or walk) to downtown Schenectady and the countless restaurants, theatre and nightlife. Druthers brewery overlooks the Marina with outdoor seating. Enjoy the summer Concerts in the park right from your slip. Brand new docks and facilities, clean grounds with walking paths along the River. Hotels at the casino and a short few minute walk away. A place to see and be seen.

Brand new marina. Dock master Jr was fantastic. Good location lots restaurants to choose from.
We stayed 2 nights. We will be back next season
by robert l. - Verified user on Oct 07, 2019
We had a great time on the canal, it was our first time. Your harbor was very easy to access and maneuver, as well as clean & safe and a very short walk to our hotel (court yard Marriott). Great layout. We look forward to it again in the spring.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the effort to let us know how your experience was. I’m glad you had as much fun as you did, it is exactly what we are striving to provide. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year as a regular. The place is even more electric during the heart of the season. See you next year!!!

Loved it here! Arrived for harbor fest concert in early afternoon. Dock attendant was right there and very helpful. Lots to do with the restaurants and casino. Clean bathrooms, no showers yet - hope that comes soon. Very well lit and felt safe. (make sure you have canvass covers or blinds for windows as it will light up entire boat cabin) Walked to Skyport diner for an awesome breakfast next morning, just over Freeman's bridge. Will come back!

This is going to be a great facility once everything is completed. The only thing lacking is bath, shower and laundry. Druthers restaurant is fantastic.
by George C. - Verified user on Jul 10, 2019
This place is going to be very good. They just need to finish it. Biggest missing item is shower room. Next is pump out, then fuel.
Casino with a half dozen restaurants is across the street, about 500 or 600 yards. A restaurant called Druthers is right next door. We didn’t partake but saw that it was very crowded on a Monday night.
Very tight entrance but not an issue unless there is a lot of wind. Easy docking once inside.

Dock hands were GREAT!
Really need showers and pool, especially when staying more than a day. There is a pool but boaters can’t use it.
Casino was great (even though we didn’t win) concerts were great and we enjoyed local brewery on site along with wine/tapas
Nice visit but definitely not a five star YET, has potential - needs a boaters touch
by Ian C. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2019
Great location for the fireworks for July 4. The team here always happy to help you dock, tie and hook up. There needs to be an arrangement made with the facility for bathroom/shower access. There is a portable bathroom unit on site, o showers, and very few marinas I know of don’t offer these facilities.

What a great night! Great dick service and beautiful facilities. Fireworks were unreal!
Marina Response:
Thanks so much for the 5 star review!
Assuming we had great "dock service and beautiful facilities". And yes the fireworks were amazing!

This marina has the potential to be an excellent facility. The staff was friendly efficient and professional. Follow the private channel bouys ( plenty of water, but tight turn) . The docks are brand new and first class. Lots of amenities close by . The WiFi was iffy ( new hardware is supposed to be installed ????) This location did not have a pump out capability ( at least , I couldn’t find one) .
I would definitely stop here again.
by Jim S. on Jun 10, 2019
Great facility and staff. Real close to a few restaurants and a casino. Did not have showers or pompous or many other amenities for the cost.
by John R. - Verified user on Jul 09, 2018
Could use a few more amenities. No showers, no grills. On the plus side, staff are extremely helpful, and the casino is right there with numerous restaurants.
