Boat was clean and comfortable. I slept well there. The gated marina parking is a big plus. My neighbors on other boats were very friendly. This is a working marina with boats being repaired etc. It is a short walk from the boat to the marina shower facilities. The walk to the beach was shorter than I expected—one long block and a couple of short blocks. The water was wonderful. The only drawback is that this part of Queens is near Kennedy Airport and the planes are noisy.
