Mohawk Harbor

It was a quick stop at the end of the season and the marina didn't disappoint. Although unattended by dock hands, the marina was clean and the location makes it easy to find dining choices in easy walking distance.

Fabulous docks, super clean, and right in the middle of so many good things to do.

We have stayed here a couple of times while transiting south for the winter. The marina its self does not have a lot of bells and whistles, but the docks are in great shape, it is well protected close to restaurants and casino. We booked through DockWa which was convenient and easy.

Loved the brand new floating docks but nobody was there..it's the Ghost Marina. No staff, no local boaters 3 transients showed up after us. Tried Druthers Brewery onsite which was good and several other restaurants that we could have visited. Casino was no interest to us but we waked along the river to the Historic Stockade district to see the old homes. From there Jay Street takes you right back to the Marina and had some interesting stops to see. Interesting city to see by walking but not a ton to see/do IMO....

Good Harbour for storm protection

Great place to take a break while traveling! Kyle was a great help😊

For the price, the restroom accommodations were poor. The restrooms were in a trailer, and for the three days we spent there no one cleaned/attended them. Not much to do unless you are into gambling. Beautiful docks though!

Ease to enter and leave the marina. Docking was ease, even with no dock hands on site. Short walk to the casino.

Very nice. Docks are great. Water and power are great

Very nice marina. Sister marina to Donovan’s Shady Harbor. Tight to get in and depth was skinny. Great floating docks. James was very helpful and always available. Three awesome restaurants right at the marina. Casino a short walk away. Well protected. Great stay. Would stay again.

The docks are OK. But there are a few amenities here. No showers. No pump out no ship store for ice or any essentials. Other than the casino and restaurant there’s really no reason to stop here.

James the Dickinson was great. Ducks are great and new. Coming from the beautiful Erie Canal it was a choc because of the concrete surrounding the marina. Three stars because of the price vs what you get for: showers or washing machines or any other amenities. (Bathrooms are in a trailer…) No running water at our dock. Had to take it from another slip. And no water on the last day due to construction.

Great Marina..nice location..Brian helped us a lot

Nice new marina! Excellent docks, good electric 30/50 amp and great water pressure. A little dicey coming in as it gets shallow, around 6-8 feet. Dockmaster was very friendly and helpful. Several restaurants nearby. Have to check out the Newest Lunch, great service and great food with great prices. The bathrooms are located in a trailer but really nice. There is casino very close as well.

New Marina very nice. James was so nice.

James was very nice and knowledgeable

The marina was great. Great location. Had trouble getting a hold of lockmaster at first. Finally called me a couple hours later. Nice location On our return trip, everything was great!

Needs better restrooms and add showers. Nice marina with good newer docks. Restrooms are mobile trailer style but were clean and bright.

thanks

Great marina and location, Wouldn’t change a thing. I’m be there next season.

Great place to keep a boat. The entire property is maintained to the highest standards. Excellent restaurants are steps away.

Unattended. You are on your own.

Late in the season. Entrance channel a concern, very shallow, very narrow. Tied up to center dock, 43 ft American tug. Called and left messages with the Marina, no response. Tried VHF and no response. Thankfully electric was functioning on the pedestal but otherwise no personnel around. Porta John's available no pump out. Very nice location very nice facility but room for improvement.

Convenient. Great dining nearby.

Nice accommodations, really enjoyed the restaurants

The stay was nice. The marina has new modern docks. The cassino and food is close, grocery not so. My only complaint is the bathrooms which is a trailer.

Excellent dock. Looking forward to more amenities

Very nice marina. Excellent help with docking. Fun trip to Casino.

Very nice marina. Excellent help with docking. Fun trip to Casino.

Beautiful marina with many open slips but we could not get anyone by radio or phone as we sat out in a huge t storm not even sure if we could get a slip because Dockwa gave us the impression that it was full,

This was our first time staying at Mohawk Harbor, and I would say the overall experience was disappointing. I was contacted by MH a couple of times during the day to check on our arrival time. Since we were not going to arrive until early evening, they ley us know they wouldn't have staff available to assist us with docking. We had no issues with this, as we are experienced boaters and quite capable of safely getting into a slip. We were also texted the wi-fi instructions and restroom code. The condition of the restrooms on Friday evening was deplorable, with no toilet paper in many stalls. Getting hooked up to the wi-fi is beyond frustrating to say the least, and I was never able to accomplish this over a 2 evening stay, despite asking MH on Saturday TWICE for assistance. They seemed much more preoccupied with making sure all boats were duly checked-in and paid for, and never got around to offering any hands on assistance. I blame the entity that set up the wi-fi more than the staff, as it shouldn't require an IT specialist to connect to the damn internet. The good: *Excellent docks - these are absolutely first rate *Nearby bars/restaurants. Casino is also within reasonable walking distance The bad: *Fairly expensive considering amenities normally expected a marina facility are not available (there are no showers, no laundry facilities and no pump-out) *Overly complicated internet *Restrooms not adequately maintained Overall: I would not recommend recommend MH to transient boaters, as the amenities provided are extremely limited, especially for the price. There are a number of area boat clubs that offer a much better value along with the expected facilities. If you are attending Harbor Jam (as we were) or another event, then it would probably be worth the price. I believe MH is operated by the Donovan's, who are normally a first-rate operation. We've previously stayed with them at Shady Harbor and had an excellent experience there. I suspect the issues at MH are mostly related to constraints placed upon them by the property owners.

Great place dockmaster James does an excellent job!! Docks are fantastic

Nice facility and dock hands were attentive. They need showers for extended stays and a place to put garbage.

Nice harbor with a fantastic dock master. Nice bars, restaurants and casino near by. My only complaint would be the wi-fi that we were unable to connect to. Heard that complaint from another boater too.

They have a beautiful marina, several restaurants, and very helpful staff.

Beautiful setting, great concert, amazing fireworks. James is also great.

Brian and James and the entire crew at Mohawk Harbor were, as always, spot on! It is always such a pleasure visiting. Their professionalism and expert management is incredible

Beautiful facility. Only lacking showers and pump out but overall worth the stay. Great summer entertainment and restaurants with the casino well within walking distance.

Marina was very nice, restaurants and bars were excellent. The dock structures were perfect. The down side is the odd angle that the fingers are at, leaving only a portion of the stern to be utilized. Could also use a bath house. Would absolutely visit again

Once they finish it, it will really be an out standing place to stop. No pool, showers or laundry , no ships store.......the dock system is one of the best and secure systems in that part of the state. If they work that problem out I would stay again but not again at that price.

Nice facility but that’s where it ends. Portable toilets, no showers or pool. None of the other amenities advertised are available to boaters.

Terrible! State of the art docks, but no showers. Bathrooms were mobile porta- johns. No access to pool as indicated on web site. We felt duped by the advertisement propaganda. Casino was .5 miles away. Several folks in our flotilla got a room at hotel! Will not be back!

Clean and in good working order, this facility has nice proximity to restaurant options as well as a Marriott Hotel for those needing a break from floating accommodations.

Clean marina, town water, good 50amp power. Very shallow entering at the red and green entrance markers. I found hugging the shoreline gave me 2’ under my props with a 5’ draft. James was great help assisting our docking. Washrooms are in the condo complex. No showers.

There was nobody there. No dock people. Nobody answered phone or radio it was a place to Dock.

Beautiful facility. Jimmy and the staff iare fantastic! Very helpful and they work hard to make sure people are checked in quickly and efficiently. We had dinner at the Casino and watched the concert. Great time!

+Nice docks, good location next to the brewery casino and restaurants. -Tight blind corner entrance filled with rental kayaker, and surprisingly no pumpout facilitys.

No Amenities, however beautiful new docks and newer restaurants on premises. Casino is nearby however everything else requires an Uber. Well protected off the river.

Madison is the new marina master and she is a FABULOUS communicator. The floating docks are in great shape and she tucked us in behind a wall so it was a calm and quiet night. Not a lot to do nearby but if you are looking for an easy in and out on the Hudson and a quiet night - this is the perfect spot!!!

Fantastic marina! It is right in the middle of a mixed-use development that's only a handful of years old and very well taken care of...and right next door to a casino! Boating: the entrance is very narrow but plenty of water. It looks scary but it really isn't. As you can see from other posts, 76' boats make it into the marina with no sweat. The boat next to us when we stayed was a 78' vessel! The docks are awesome - floating, wide, like new, excellent 50 amp, great water. There are bathrooms but no showers or laundry. Brian Donovan, the marina staff person, was excellent at helping us tie and power up. Also, he was born and raised in Schenectady and can tell you where to go for everything you want! He recommended a local brewery called Frog Alley. We walked one mile to the Frog Alley Brewery in the Stockade (historic) district - past homes that are some 300 years old. Very cool! There is a river front walk, too. We wound up our day at Druther's Brewery right at the marina. Food and drink were very good. Totally worth a stop to Mohawk Harbor Marina!

Docks are beautiful and the harbor is well protected. Lots of green space for dog walking, bike riding, or just taking a walk. Donovans are trying really hard to make it a full service marina. Right now (2022) there are heads but no showers or pump out.

No showers and port o potties were dirty. Was told to pick any slip in a completely empty marina and next morning was asked to move by the person whose slip I happened to choose. This marina has a lot of potential but seems unwilling to have services both transients and locals need. I heard complaints from local yacht club members downstream, other transients and even nearby restaurant owners. This place could be the best stop on the loop with the history of the area, a great bike path, a casino and nice restaurants, but sadly most will pass it by.

Great place for a seasonal slip. Glad the shows and fireworks are back. Hopefully more next year.

Very nice docks. A bit shallow coming into harbor, seeing less than 6’. No showers and temporary trailer restrooms. Convenient to restuarant.

great staff and great site. James was great Clean place nice settings

James and his crew were awesome. They were there, ready, and waiting to help us dock, tie up, and hook up to the facilities. James went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. A truly exceptional customer service experience.

Few on site amenities, no showers, pool, store …plenty of restaurants, stores , hotels, nite life, a short Uber’s drive away or walk

Nice sheltered marina on the Mohawk River. Docks are new and well constructed. Convenient restaurants nearby along with easy walking to the Rivers Casino and its entertainment and restaurants.

It is a new marina. Not just under-staffed, the was zero staff. There was a guy there to rent kayaks who had no affiliation with the marina. He tried to be helpful but he had no knowledge of bathrooms or anything else. The next day, I saw that the dockmaster had sent me an email apologizing and saying he couldn't be there but relaying docking and bathroom info. That did me and apparently the other boaters no good because none of us knew what was going on (who reads email while navigating thru a canal?)

This Marina is an absolute hidden gem!! Brand new, great docks, great power, and even decent Wifi service, you can walk to restaurants, casino, and more... and Schenectady is probably one of the nicest, most "high-end" cities in Upstate NY. Also, the young man that is in charge of the Marina, James Donovan, is truly exceptional. I stayed there for a week, and every time I'd see him, he would ask how everything was, and if there was anything he could do to make my stay better. Also, he always had a smile on his face -- which honestly, can sometimes be in short supply in marinas in this part of the world, especially during peak season!

Lovely Marina, great dock hand assistance👍

Marina is new and beautiful. Very few boats on July 4th weekend and we couldn’t find any employees. There was no information on any of the amenities. We did have a good dinner at the brewery on site but had no access to pools bathrooms etc.

This was a New Marina. However, there was no dockmaster. After walking around we found an office who managed to call somebody who was the dockmaster. We did get a Wi-Fi. There is no place to put trash and the marina was not well laid out be used by boats. Since there were no services provided and the amenities weren’t there the price was outrageous.

Really like this place. Grants was very good, dogs had great time playing in the wide open manicured field. Thanks.

Marina was clean and neat. Don’t expect any help, directions etc. made a reservation on line (no one answers phone even though message says their hours), you can leave a message but it’s hours before someone calls you back. Online they ask what time you’re arriving so someone will meet you. Nope. Don’t answer radio, don’t answer phone. So we just picked a spot. Marina is deserted, only 3-4 boats there. Someone finally calls several hours later (from my morning message) didn’t even know we were already docked. Gave us WiFi code (hardly a signal) asks if we need bathroom code. That’s it. Nothing about where to take trash if we have, do we need a pump out, info on area, zip. We’re pretty self sufficient so it wasn’t an issue but many folks need help and would be disappointed.

Fantastic stop 50’ off the canal. The Shaker and Vine is a restaurant next to the marina. They have a chocolate fondue that is to die for, plus red wine slushes. Live music on Friday nights. Modern harbor no rocking

Marina was great, food was great, atmosphere was great. Only downfall is there are no showers and you’re not allowed to use the pool which to me is misleading since it’s in the photos advertising the marina.

One of the most unique marinas in NY. A must visit if passing through. This Harbor is a man made cut lagoon off the Mohawk River. The Marina itself doesn’t offer many amenities itself but that’s not what this place is a about. The surrounding grounds are amazing. Walking distance to Rivers casino with its shops and restaurants, short shuttle bus available (or walk) to downtown Schenectady and the countless restaurants, theatre and nightlife. Druthers brewery overlooks the Marina with outdoor seating. Enjoy the summer Concerts in the park right from your slip. Brand new docks and facilities, clean grounds with walking paths along the River. Hotels at the casino and a short few minute walk away. A place to see and be seen.

Brand new marina. Dock master Jr was fantastic. Good location lots restaurants to choose from. We stayed 2 nights. We will be back next season

We had a great time on the canal, it was our first time. Your harbor was very easy to access and maneuver, as well as clean & safe and a very short walk to our hotel (court yard Marriott). Great layout. We look forward to it again in the spring.

Loved it here! Arrived for harbor fest concert in early afternoon. Dock attendant was right there and very helpful. Lots to do with the restaurants and casino. Clean bathrooms, no showers yet - hope that comes soon. Very well lit and felt safe. (make sure you have canvass covers or blinds for windows as it will light up entire boat cabin) Walked to Skyport diner for an awesome breakfast next morning, just over Freeman's bridge. Will come back!

This is going to be a great facility once everything is completed. The only thing lacking is bath, shower and laundry. Druthers restaurant is fantastic.

This place is going to be very good. They just need to finish it. Biggest missing item is shower room. Next is pump out, then fuel. Casino with a half dozen restaurants is across the street, about 500 or 600 yards. A restaurant called Druthers is right next door. We didn’t partake but saw that it was very crowded on a Monday night. Very tight entrance but not an issue unless there is a lot of wind. Easy docking once inside.

Dock hands were GREAT! Really need showers and pool, especially when staying more than a day. There is a pool but boaters can’t use it. Casino was great (even though we didn’t win) concerts were great and we enjoyed local brewery on site along with wine/tapas Nice visit but definitely not a five star YET, has potential - needs a boaters touch

Great location for the fireworks for July 4. The team here always happy to help you dock, tie and hook up. There needs to be an arrangement made with the facility for bathroom/shower access. There is a portable bathroom unit on site, o showers, and very few marinas I know of don’t offer these facilities.

What a great night! Great dick service and beautiful facilities. Fireworks were unreal!

This marina has the potential to be an excellent facility. The staff was friendly efficient and professional. Follow the private channel bouys ( plenty of water, but tight turn) . The docks are brand new and first class. Lots of amenities close by . The WiFi was iffy ( new hardware is supposed to be installed ????) This location did not have a pump out capability ( at least , I couldn’t find one) . I would definitely stop here again.

Great facility and staff. Real close to a few restaurants and a casino. Did not have showers or pompous or many other amenities for the cost.

Could use a few more amenities. No showers, no grills. On the plus side, staff are extremely helpful, and the casino is right there with numerous restaurants.
