Tom and his wife were Magnificent. Helped us dock. Travelled with my Daughter and her husband and our grandchildren and he was able to put us in close slips even though we have two different size boats. Pool was great, very clean, bathrooms were clean. Had Breakfast brought in from LI Bagel Cafe, awesome. Wish there was breakfast place on site. We were going to Laura’s BBQ but switched at the last minute to The Cove, it was awesome. Will do it again for sure. Fueled up and pumped out. Wish we got a little discount on fuel but only for Full time members. Going to try other Safe Harbors along the Sound in the next few weeks.

We had a pleasant stay at Safe Harbor Glen Cove. The dock master was extremely helpful as we tied up and he provided a lot of good information concerning the yard and the surrounding area. The heads, showers and pool were a fairly long walk from our pier but were modern, clean and in good condition. There’s a good sounding BBQ restaurant on the marina grounds but it was closed on the Tuesday we tried to visit it. My only minor complaint is that, like most of the marinas we stopped at on our way down the Hudson to Long Island Sound, this marina had no way for us to dispose of recyclable plastic.

40 years of boat ownership and this is the very best marina I have ever felt with. Management and staff are outstanding and helpful in any way possible. I always recommend Safe Harbor Glenn Cove to all friends at Centerport Yacht Club.

Very helpful marina crew. I was there overnight. Easy slip to get in and out of. Only issue was that no one responded on the radio the morning I left (9:30 am on a Sunday) to get help with lines but another boater helped out

Great full-service marina. We needed a place to stop to take on water and wash down the boat after a very salty passage. Safe Harbor Glen Cove was ideal. Tom the dock master was very friendly and very helpful. Would definitely consider stopping her in the future.

Marina is well situated and easy to access transient slip. Docks in excellent shape. Bathrooms are spacious & very clean. Pool was closed? Some NY law? Laundry situation needs attention. One washer and one dryer not working. Office staff disgruntled and not helpful until the 3rd time we pleaded for assistance owing to the fact that she was running the fuel dock too? Dockmaster is very helpful & friendly. Good BBQ restaurant onsite.

There are no restaurants on the property. The only place to dine is The Cove which is at least a 15 minute walk from the furthest dock (C) where we were. The only food available, weekends only, is from a truck. There is a great space on site which WAS called The Lighthouse Cafe but it's been closed for a while. That should be remedied. We would have spent a lot of $ there. There is a nice pool but we didn't use it.

Good place to stop on LI Sound. Staff were helpful and friendly. Pool was nice. This marina is in a boatyard, so there's not a lot of grass but rather a huge gravel parking lot. Only real negative is the depth of the entrance channel. Other reviews have warned of this, and sure enough, at low tide we witnessed a sailboat run aground right in the channel. Since we were looking at it from his stern, it was impossible to tell the size, but most probably in the30's. Harbor police came quickly and pulled him off. We waited until the tide had come in at least halfway before leaving in the morning. If you come/go near low tide, favor the side of the channel away from the large steel bulkhead. We've been here before and won't hesitate to go back.

Dock hands pluged us into a bad pedestal and caused damage to the boat. Dock master knows about the bad pedestal but failed to tell the kids working the docks. When speaking with the dock master about my issue I got every excuse in the book and would not accept any responsibility! Plus the entrance to the marina sholes up to 3ft. During low tide. Everyone knows about this but they don't tell you when you come in and why the heck don't they dredge it !

As a starting point for cruising the New York City area, this marina is perfect. Although we did not get to use any of the amenities, we can state that the Dockmaster is very attentive and helpful. The facilities are well kept. We look forward to a longer stay the next time we are in the area. Beaches and fishing close by.

The yard looks like a "work yard". A crane has been in the yard for over a year now. The docks are full of boats "for sale" from the broker on site. Work boats come and go, not working at the marina. The docks are not great although they are quick to make repairs. Everything else about the place looks unfinished.

Marina Response:
Thank you for your review, and we are sorry to hear that you have an unfavorable opinion of Glen Cove Yacht Yard. We are a working boatyard, but we also strive to make sure that our slip Members and guests have an enjoyable marina facility. The crane will be used for future bulkhead work so it is still needed on-site at this time. We are happy to speak with you more regarding your experiences at our marina. Feel free to reach out to our office at your convenience 516.671.5563. Take care.

The accommodations were average. The staff was a little confused about where our slip assigned would be in ultimately put in a slip that I was only 30 amp versus 50 up as requested. As a result we had some issues with our auto pilot re-starting. This caused a great deal of stress and frustration for us. There are several areas within the yacht Yard. Unfortunately we were place was not one of the better ones. Please verify that we were charge for only Two nights..

Marina Response:
Hello. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. It sounds like you have already spoken with our Fuel Dockmaster, Tom, who verified that you were only charged for two nights. We apologize for the limited slip availability during your visit. The marina was very full of both our seasonal Members and transient guests. We do hope that you will consider visiting Glen Cove Yacht Yard next time you are in the area, and we will be happy to find your a more ideal slip for your vessel. Take care!

Tom, the Dockmaster, does an excellent job with what he has to work with. Unfortunately, this marina needs a lot of work. Their transient dock and the electrical service need to be replaced. Also, the odors from the town sewage treatment plant is something the town should address. This is too bad because the marina is in a nice location, fully protected, full service with onsite amenities.

Marina Response:
Thank you for staying with us at Glen Cove, and we appreciate your feedback. We have some planned upgrades for the property, and we hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future. Thank you for your business. Have a great summer on the water!

On the plus side: Nice, friendly and helpful folks; clean, nice facility. On the minus, depth in the channel (not their fault, obviously!) and no WiFi.
