Rondout Yacht Basin

The staff is very helpful at RYB and the pool is great on a hot day. The on site Towers Cafe is a nice place to have some food and meet other boaters. Everyone here is friendly and welcoming.

Nice marina and Little town

Fabulous marina! The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. Came into marina windy day and help was right there. Restaurant was excellent.

We stayed two nights. Dockmaster, Brandon, was helpful and just a very nice man. Good stay.

Great stop on our way to the Erie Canal. Easy approach and owner is there to help catch your lines. This marina has a nice little snack bar, laundry facilities, clean bathroom and showers, and a nice pool. People that keep their boats there full time were all very friendly. Thank you Rondout Yacht Basin for making our evening there a nice relaxing time.

Great little Marina on a well protect creek. Dockmaster Brandon was most helpful in guiding and assisting docking, fueling and pump out. Competitive pricing on everything. Easy access to nearby tavern with a great menu. Our stay was early in the season ,so not all Marina amenities were open yet.

Friendly people and good facilities.

Friendly people, helpful crew.

We love our home port the staff always go above and beyond and the owner’s have made our past three years a pleasure

I can't imagine a more welcoming marina.

Great staff. And amenities

Another great Columbus Day weekend! Towers Cafe was excellent as usual. The staff is great, and very accommodating.

It is always a good stay at Rondout Yacht Basin. Everyone is very friendly and very helpful. We always have a good time and a nice, safe stay. We are looking forward to visiting again next year.

Friendly and helpful staff! Clean bathrooms and showers!

Great time and awesome service and great food

Very friendly and helpful staff. Neil gets very many return customers! Great place to stay and very protected on the creek.

My first time, but came with the Haverstraw group who have stayed many times before. Our stay was great. Thanks.

The staff are very helpful and make you feel welcome ⚓

Staff—Brandon and Neil—were fantastic. Very helpful and welcoming

Excellent service, warm greetings and nice pool

Nice marina, We liked the pool since it was a hot day. Nothing special about the restrooms but the shower building is maintained better. Great help getting docked and checked in. See you next year.

We returned after a great experience 2 years ago. This time was a repeat of our earlier visit. The staff are all friendly and accommodating, the other guests are friendly and the pool is phenomenal and very relaxing. RYB will definitely be in the plans for future trips down the river!

Good service, nice pool. Fuel expensive, bathrooms disgusting. Nothing there.

Fun place. Greeting at the dock was terrific. Nice pool! Excellent food at the cafe!

Wonderful place! Tom is so nice and helpful! He obviously cares about his guests! Very accommodating with a great slip, explaining the layout and amenities, plus local knowledge of the surrounding area! I can't say enough good things about the whole atmosphere of that place, which he helps create. Rondout is a charming place to stop, with lots of character. Plenty of things to do too, if you have time to stay awhile? Pleasant!

Friendly and helpful staff

Stll a bit run down and old. We have been going there since 1985. A place to enjoy but could use a bit more modernization.

Great people and great food.

One of the friendliest yacht clubs I’ve been at

I can’t say enough about all the good things at Rondout yacht basin. The redone pool and decking is excellent. The docks are in great shape with ample electric. There’s grilling available. We didn’t use the showers but I didn’t hear any complaints. Tony does a great job at the tiki bar. Very accommodating person. Probably the most important of all, The Rondout yacht basin. Staff is excellent. They are extremely helpful, accommodating and eager to insure you have positive experience.

Marina staff is very friendly and helpful. The marina is quiet and peaceful at night. Docks have modern power, water, and lighting. Fuel, restaurant, ship's store, swimming pool, bathrooms & showers, lawn games, and a variety of restaurants nearby make this a wonderful boating destination. A special event, Christmas in July, had delicious food, decorations, entertainment, and a fun time with other boaters.

The people were amazing, very accommodating, they worked to get our 4 boats as close as possible; the restaurant was great; overall RYB was clean and neat, and we had a great time at Christmas in July!

fun filled weekend with spectacular “hosts” , don’t think twice about visiting this marina .. book it , you’ll be happy you did

the staff is really helpful and very kind.

Always a nice place to visit.

It was great, the staff was very nice!

Pretty little Marina. friendly dock hands.

Rondout Basin was a good stop. Brandon and the staff were extremely hospitable, and the services were good: laundry, bathrooms/showers, swimming pool, and fuel. There is an outdoor restaurant serving southwest fare that looked good, but I ate on the boat that night. There were a number of large cruisers on my dock and it was no problem for my 5’ draft. Overall a good choice.

Love the marina. Everyone is so nice. We had a really nice stay there.

Good facility, pool was a nice touch, washrooms etc a little dated, service was top notch

Very courteous and professional. Dockside restaurant serving dinner and breakfast...in the latino style. We chose to stay at Rondout a second trip rather than the Kingston waterfront due to their cordiality.

Good location and well run marina with full facilities.

stayed several days last fall while heading south on the Hudson River. Great people. Plenty of help and the fellow boaters all seem to step up as needed. Had extra hands getting my mast back up. There was significant current due to recent heavy rain which made docking a challenge but plenty of hands were available.

Lot's of help from marina,clean,and friendly. Will visit again.

Great staff and Friendly Marina. Good Food at Towers Cafe

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice spot on tge creek. Shuttled us across the creek to town. Great little restaurant on site open on weekends.

Dockmaster was very nice. Very easy to find. Nice location

We needed a place to stay overnight & do laundry. Everything around us was closed on Mon. which is common nowadays. Dock master was nice.

Neil and Brandon are fantastic. The friendliness and enthusiasm are what you notice immediately about this marina. I also enjoyed the snack shack. I would absolutely stay here again if needed. Thank you.

A wonderful short stop. The Restaurant was fantastic and I only wish I was hungrier! Note they do not sell alcohol but they kindly offered to help drive us to purchase some once they were done shift! Quiet place to spend the night with great pump out and gas services. A quick Uber to town for supplies or a dinghy ride to explore downtown! Perfect for those that want to experience town but not be right in it!

Very nice good docks and friendly staff

Favorite place on the Hudson

Roundout always treats us well, good people. Nice little tiki restaurant serving great food.

Always accommodating, and always a wonderful time

we always enjoy the place and the Cafe. lots of nice friendly people

All staff at the marina was very friendly and soooo helpful, will be back soon

Lovely visuals - nice location. Smell of sewage was a bit rough.

We reserved a campsite and a boat slip. Nick was very helpful during the reservation process with excellent communications. Neil was very helpful throughout our stay and a great source of historical information. The marina looks to be one of the best we saw in this basin and had a great pool and very clean facilities. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting to combine camping with boating.

It was great always good Staff very friendly

Great place out of the way and we’ll protected

Excelent service, from dockage, including fueling, laundry, and departure! Wish more facilities were like this!

Brandon and the seasonal boaters were very friendly and helpful to us while both fueling and docking. You won’t be disappointed if you stay in this quaint clean and quiet marina. We will be back! THANK YOU especially to Brandon for all your kindness to new boaters! CC

Well protected docks as there is no wake zone. Dockmaster is nice and helpful. Short dinghy ride or bike to town and many restaurants. GOod power at docks. Restrooms and surroundings a bit rough and docks are showing their age but serviceable. Would stay again if Museum docks are full. Seems a bit overpriced for what you get.

Awesome marina and crew. We had a great time. Thank you all

Been there a few times it's always a great experience

Always a great place to dock, eat, swim and relax!

Excellent as usual. Always nice to come for a weekend

Great marina and staff.

We had a great stay ! Staff was helpful..

We had a great time. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The pool was fun.

great time as always

We had stayed here 3 years ago. Friendly staff, willing to help out with docking, fueling and pump out. Quiet area with little current. One staff member lent us his Jeep so we could get provisions, really appreciated that. Dinghy to Kingston, rather than walk.

Super place: scenic area; great people working there; fun and delicious cafe.

Nice docks. Great help from staff docking and hooking up power. Restaurant on site, with town just a short Uber ride away. Fair walk to use facilities which are not locked and looks like a RV park uses the facilities as well

Quiet, calm. No dinghy dock at Rondout/ Kingston waterfront.

Stayed in inner docks. Docks wood and narrow. I would not use the showers. Rest of bathroom clean but we'll used.

Wonderfully peaceful and calm dockage on a creek. The place has a relaxed almost homey feel. Quiet at night. My first 8 hour sleep in a long time! Tony whips up a huge tasty breakfast burrito for breakfast. Neil was great on the docks and giving us recommendations for dinner. Showers and bathrooms were fine. Nothing fancy but adequate.

Rondout is great. Welcoming, friendly staff. Easy to deal with. A+

Nice & helpful people

Had a great Labor Day weekend. Brandon was great! Helpful and always available. The cafe serves good food at reasonable prices. Pool was nice. Bathrooms could use some updating.\n\nIt's been about 10 years since we were there, but will definitely be back next year!

Couldnt hail anyone prior to, or at arrival, by either phone or radio (started trying an hour + before arriving). But to be fair, they were pulling boats for the season. Bathrooms were adequate at best. Fuel went from $6.08 the day we arrived, to $6.38 overnight. Of course, noone told us when we arrived it would be hiked that high the next day, even tho we told them we'd be fueling up. The dock hand that helped us the next day was nice, helpful and professional.

Older working boatyard and marina. Friendly staff, excellent on site cafe. Bathrooms were dismal and needed a cleaning. Finger piers were very short (half of our 50’ boat hung out past the end).

We love Rondout Yacht Basin. Staff is great. Pool is refreshing. Toni will make you a delicious meal at the cafe. Most of all the people at the basin are the best. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Excellent service with a personal touch. Rented a slip overnight and stayed in nearby Kingston. Uber's are hard to depend on lately. Marina owner gave us a ride into town and honestly couldn't have been nicer. The marina is on the Round Out Creek about 3/4 of a mile off the Hudson. Good choice to stop for loopers on the way north.

This is our 5th year coming up on our boat for a stay. These guys are great and you have access to the areas sights and scenes- My boys love it. It is a wonderful time to unplug with the family - priceless.

Very nice folks. Facility has everything you'd expect. Even the wifi works! The only minor issue is the overall decay of the place. Not bad though !

Nice marina and great staff. Wish they had a car available as the town is across the channel away, but to far to walk by land. The Uber ride was 20 dollars one way and about a 10 minute ride.

We made reservations 2 weeks prior. Received confirmation and given slip assignment. Instructions said to hail on 9 (dock hand said they don’t monitor 9 as it says in Dockwa) when arriving couldn’t get them on the phone or the radio. Left message, no call back. Finally after getting in touch, he told us that he didn’t have a slip, for us (at 3:00). Does not live up to their description. Lot of deferred maintenance.

Friendly and helpful dock staff.

Thanks for a good stay.

Nice people, staff and people who have boats there permanently. However, the facilities were very average and you are on the opposite side of the river to be able to visit the town.

excellent dockhands narrow fairway

Great staff (Brandon and Neil). In the middle of nowhere. Facilities could use some attention and repair. Would stop there again.

Nice Marina. Great staff.

Nice and quiet marina

Great marina and staff. When we were unable to get an Uber or taxi to town to see maritime museum they gave us a ride! We were able to Uber back no problem. Restaurant on site had reasonable delicious food. Nice pool and showers.

Andrew and the team are terrific, so helpful! They even took us to the store to re-provision. Post office within walking distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Camp like environment and very clean. Well maintained floating docks.

It would have been a 5 if we did not have to look at a Trump flag all during our stay !

Friendly helpful staff, isolated, restaurant good closes after lunch…more of a boat yards……

staff always helpful. facility very clean, docks well maintained

Excellent dock assistance. Bathrooms need attention . Lack of outside lighting.

Had a great time here. Pool is clean and staff is very friendly Towers cafe has delicious food

Dockmaster answered hail as we arrived and met us at slip for tie up. Friendly helpful liveaboards. Lovely pool. good area for dogs. $10 taxi ride to town. Maritime museum wonderful! Wonderful meal at Savona's Trattoria! Historic district of town a short walk up hill and very worthwhile.

Excellent service and services. Friendly and welcoming.

Most accommodating and friendly stop on Great Loop yet! Andrew was awesome. Gave us his keys to his personal truck and delivered farm fresh eggs to our boat first thing. Calm, serene and beautiful spot.

This marina has a great vibe with helpful, friendly, accommodating staff. Neal and Tom helped us getting situated. Well located for visiting historic sites and The Culinary Institute. Loved our stay!

Beautiful spot… dock help was exceptional, knowledgeable, polite and friendly. The food concession “ margaritas “ …also very friendly,tasty and fun… huge portions! It was however really hard to find an Uber or Cab to pick us up at the marina.

Great spot. Not walkable/bikeable to port area of Kingston but easy cab ride. Nice folks.

We recently spent 2 nights with Nick and his crew.. from the moment we were met at the dock to the time we left, all our needs were quickly taken care of. Thanks again and looking forward to our return next Year!

Great stay. Andrew and Nick run a great establishment

One quick night . Diesel fueled up! Friendly and accommodating staff.

Great team running the marina. Very helpful and friendly. The should consider offering a water taxi to and from downtown Kingston.

Staff was great beautiful setting on a tranquil river. Short Dinghy to dInner and quaint town. I will be back

Friendly people and quite

Great marina, with safe and accessible slips. Easy access to nice downtown. Convenient to NYC.

I love this place. I have been coming here since 2003 and it is still so friendly, helpful and nice. everything is clean and well maintained.

Great crew! Nice place...,friendly boaters.

Very friendly staff and the other boaters we met. Lots of kids for yours to play with. Pool was clean and very welcome in 90+ weather. We will be back

Restrooms were dirty and inadequate for the number of boaters. Dock staff gave poor instructions to transient boaters. Docks were old and dirty. Would not recommend.

Donovans is a great place to stop. The staff if very nice and helpful. The regulars are welcoming and the place is clean and nice. We like it as starting point for upstate trips since we trailer our little Albin trawler and they have a great ramp and good parking. And best of all, they have a very nice restaurant on site, Boathouse Grill, with a great patio overlooking the Hudson and nicely prepared food. Don’t miss out on the sweet and hot calamari with the fancy sweet drop fruits.

Fuel, pump out, pool, bbq’s, ships store, and a friendly knowledgeable staff. What more could a boater want. Nick and Andrew run a great marina.

Just a great place with great people. They are probably the most service oriented marina I’ve ever been to. Nick and Andrew, the owners are truly dedicated.

The owners and staff are great. Everyone is both friendly and helpful. In fact we were booked at another marina for the return trip and canceled that reservation to come back to this Marina. This stop is highly recommended.

These people were WONDERFUL. We arrived after a long day of travel on the rough Hudson in incredibly strong, gusty winds in a 36' boat. They helped us wrestle her safely to the dock and managed other arriving boats similarly well. Nash, on the dock, pointed out to us that our dinghy, mounted on the on the stern of the boat, was not supported properly (a support had broken enroute in the rough waters) and immediately helped us get it fixed. The owner, Nick, took my husband to the local Home Depot to get a part needed for the repair and wouldn't accept payment for the ride. Others who keep their boats regularly at the marina stopped by to offer needed muscle or guidance or encouragement. What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this marina to transients or to anyone else!

The location of this marina is great for visiting in the Kingston area. We rented a car and spent two delightful days visiting the FDR Home and Museum as well as Eleanor Roosevelt’s home at Valkill. The highlight of our trip was having lunch on both days at the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park. Rondout Yacht Basin itself is beginning to show its age. The heads and showers were clean but out of date. The piers are in decent shape. Perhaps all the rain we had while here took some shine off the facility. The marina’s web site boasts a dockside cafe but it’s only a small snack stand with an awning covered eating area. To be fair, it was closed the whole time we were there so I can’t comment on the quality or extent of the menu. The most frustrating part of this stay was contacting the marina upon arrival. The DockWa listing and my reservation confirmation both said to contact them on VHF Channel 9. I tried several times but got no response. When I called by phone all I got was an answering machine - but no response to the message I left. When I asked the person who finally met the boat after my second phone call, I was told that they don’t monitor Channel 9, but only Channel 16. I had tried that twice with no response as well. It’s very frustrating to bring a boat into a new port and new marina and not be able to contact anyone ashore until you’re already in sight of the fuel dock.

Great Marina with excellent Staff, and facilities. The pool is great!

Nice location, just a short dingy ride to downtown Kingston. Very accommodating crew except they do not carry radios at the dock so it 's extremely hard to communicate especially if multiple boats arrive at once.

Love the staff .. great breakfast. We Will come again.

Had a great time! Docking was perfect and clean. All facilities were well maintained. Pool was very enjoyable, again great shape and clean. Staff couldn't be nicer and more accommodating. Always a smile and willing to please. Loved everything. Will definitely return.

Owner met us on the dock. Docks are floating and look to be fairly new. Diesel fuel is a lot lower than advertised on Marinas.com. It was $2.30 with Boat US discount. A nice swimming pool, an area for horse shoes, volleyball, etc. a small bar & grill right on the dock. Dock hands were very helpful and friendly. Only thing is no store within walking distance and I didn't see any laundry facilities.
