We were fortunate enough to get a slip here over the weekend, and the marina far exceeded our expectations. We needed provisions badly, and there are two really great and very inexpensive grocery stores here. The Apple Farm supermarket is very similar to a Whole Foods, only a third of the prices. We took the Metro North train for 8 dollars down to NYC to see the sights and the ride along the Hudson was magnificent. We also visited the very interesting Sleep Hollow cemetery from the train. Next day we visited the Culinary Institute up in Hyde Park by taking that metro north train up north to the Poughkeepsie station. 2 mile uber from there. CIA is really worth visiting! Steve's Asst Doug provided us with an amazing digital welcome package full of great restaurants to walk to. The Piato Greek restaurant is not to be missed. Easy quarter mile stroll from the boats to there or endless other eateries and ice cream shops... We can't wait to return in late October. Thanks for a great stay guys!
Never again - SHALLOW all over the marina and it was high tide! Ruined our props on a 36 foot boat that only draws 3.7 feet. Very obnoxious attitude from the "yacht club" members. Total elitist attitudes!! This is a co-op where they just don't seem to want to have visitors whatsoever. The town is no where near the marina and there is nothing there whatsoever. We wasted 45 dollars on a cab to try to locate anything! There is not one single thing around there in Montrose or the neighboring town of Verplank. We ended up taking a different cab down to Croton on Hudson to eat at the Ocean House Seafood restaurant there in Croton. Much better options on the river than this Cortlandt YC Can't believe they say they have slips but you have to tie up using life rings and old nasty lines to tie to 4 uneven piles
Very easy access to the West side of Manhattan. Crazy high prices and a little rolly from all the water ferries and boat traffic constantly but the view is outstanding .
