This is the perfect place to have a very different kind of NYC stay. We loved everything about it. We struggled a little to get into the marina, but that was just our lack of familiarity with the system. It was fairly easy to figure out.
Very laid back marina. Showers and bathrooms were basic and clean. Almost always empty. People at the marina were friendly and quiet. We really enjoyed the mix of peaceful serenity as we enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck with passing swans contrasted with the huge planes taking off from the airport like rumbling ghosts through the low clouds. It was surreal.
Transport was right outside the marina door. Took the bus to the ferry and enjoyed a nice sail to Southstreet area.
We had everything we needed on the boat and anything extra was easy to get at the market right outside the marina.
Loved our stay. It was relaxed and easy and a very different way to enjoy everything that nyc has to offer with none of the stress.
