Hudson River Maritime Museum

HRMM is a great stop over. Staff much appreciated, facilities are great, museum is terrific.

Should only give 1 star so everyone doesn’t want to come here. Best place to stay in Kingston. 1st time visitors should take the time and visit the actual museum and check out the light house when they are running tours. 6/29/2025 15th stay here, always getting better, new water spigots, staff extremely friendly

Excellent location, access to museum, and great dockmaster.

Wonderful stop on a face dock to watch all the comings and goings. The Hudson Maritime Museum is a GEM-not to be missed. The Cornell restaurant right on the docks served one of the best dinners to date.

Great accommodation and nice people

Dockmaster Jim is a very busy guy, but answers his phone or calls you right back every time, he is a great guy. The museum is Awesome and free to marina guests

Very nice stay. Enjoyed the museum.

Cute town and marina. The museum is excellent, and our tour guide was very informative.

Great spot to dock! Jim the dockmaster was very helpful and informational! The museum was very interesting and the town was cute with a couple of food spots. We took our dinghy up the river, met some loopers at the next marina and did some nice sightseeing! Jim brought us fresh strawberries before our departure and they were delish! All the proceeds for this dockage goes to the museum and their educational programs at the boat school! Love that!

Cool location. Staff was helpful and responsive. Car rental in town. Stayed three nights to provision and explore the area.

Great location! Lots to see.

Very kind and helpful restaurants buy marina quiet and calm

Jim is the best Dock master, love this place!

Great hospitality , close to town & restaurants.

VERy nice place to spend a few days. Jim the dockmaster is super helpful and informative. The surrounding town is quaint and has many great food choices. Groceries are a fair walk away but lots of restaurants within a few blocks. Highly recommended

Kinda wanta to say it was terrible so others stay away and I will always have spot, but I should not be selfish.

Always excellent. 5 minute walk to many restaurants and shops. Museum is very good. Dockmaster is very helpful.

Great stop. Jim the Harbour Master was a great help thru out my stay. Had an answer for all my questions. The museum was a wealth of information and the ride on the their solar powered boat to the light house was quiet and very interesting. Enjoyed the Kingston waterfront as well. Always something happing..

Always a great stay with friendly help on the dock.

Jim was great at meeting us at the dock and providing local information. Location is right downtown so restaurants are just a short walk away. You are right on the channel but traffic is low and boaters are respectful of the no wake signs.

Nice place, the museum was free with the dock and the Kids' loves IT.

Easy to dock. Good facilities. I had to move the trip due to winds at the last minutes and Jim worked with me to make it work. Jim was waiting for me when I arrived and explain everything including dinner recomendations and events going on. Will definitely dock here again

The staff were amazing and friendly as well as helpful. We really enjoyed touring the museum right in front of us! I would highly recommend this dockage as the docks were sturdy and wide. Worth every penny!

Always a great experience! Staff is great and accommodating!

Very nice and clean. Docks are great too

Great marina to stay at. Clean & walking distance to downtown. Love the wooden boat school museum.

great location right next to the museum and close to downtown Kingston (but not on the city park location so limited foot traffic). Super nice and helpful staff. Right next to an excellent waterfront restaurant. Fuel is close by at the Rondout Marina. I would definitely stay there again when in Kingston.

Great comunication. Easy docking , close to everything

Great dock! The people there are incredibly friendly and the Museum is a must see! 95ft boat with a 7.5 ft draft fit with a ton of room to spare! Loved this little marina

Great spot to stay, very helpful staff!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Dock Master Jim was awesome getting us set up and drove me to a chandlery to get a part I needed. Great location, lovely river walk, close to restaurants. The museum and wooden boat school are both terrific!

This is an absolutely charming stop on the hudson river. The museum itself is small but very informative. There is a sailing school and a woodworking school on the premises. The town is right there with good restaurants very close by. Also, there is a very well-lit and beautiful walkway along the river. Highly recommend!

Outstanding! Waiting at dock when we arrived! Great little town. Lots to do!

We really enjoyed this place. Jim, the Dockmaster is very serviceable. We came in after normal hours of operations but Jim had someone to welcome and help us out. Thanks You !

Nice dockage and beautiful display of fireworks. Jim the Dockmaster was very welcoming. We enjoy the Kingston waterfront and will come again.

Helpful staff. Solid alongside dock. Entrance to a neat museum and boating center included. Right downtown easy walk to great restaurants. And Half Moon coffee shop where they make donuts to order. As well as breakfast sandwiches etc.

Super interesting Museum and great 2C all the dock fee's go to benefit the Museum. Take the Solaris boat ride to the Lighthouse and do the sunset cruise both were fun and amazing 2C 100% solar powered boat work so well and silently. Great group of people working here and quiet little town to visit for a couple of days. Highly recommended.....

David was fantastic. He stayed until we got there to help us dock. He was very informative about Kingston area. Had electricity and water available. Clean restroom and great shower. Good location for restaurants. Enjoyed the museum.

Jim dockmaster very helpful. Nice town

Nice marina, we stayed two nights. Jim the DockMaster was great, very friendly and helpful. Good water pressure and electric. Nice bathrooms. Easy approach with floating docks. The town was nice, great restaurants and the museum was very interesting!

Outstanding marina! Marina manager was very gracious and extremely helpful. Restrooms/ showers were spotless. Free access to the museum was an added benefit. Would not hesitate to highly recommend to other boaters.

Side tie to fixed dock was no problem. Good, clean bathroom and showers. Close to several nice restaurants and shops on the waterfront. And far enough away from the overhead bridge that it wasn't too noisy. Jim is the dockmaster and provided great service!

Nice location right off the Hudson. Museum was great, food next door was great! Dockmaster was great also.

Fantastic place Very nice restaurants around

Great visit at the Museum, friendly staff.

Great overnight. Side tie-up in front of museum. Docks are in good shape. Museum is worth a tour, a lot of history happened here. Great dinner and vibe at the Ship to Shore restaurant.

Nice museum, cute town, great restaurants near by, nice staff and clean bathrooms/showers.

Jim, the Dockmaster was EXCELLENT! He went out of his way to advise us about the currents, tides, and how best to tie up. He even telephoned us when we were about an hour away to give us a heads up about some logs floating in the river. The facilities were in good shape. Bathrooms and showers clean and nice. BEST wi fi we have ever had at a marina! And the town of Kingston was very pretty and very walkable. We ended up staying 2 extra nights because we liked it so much. 10 stars for Jim, his staff, and the marina.

Dockmaster Jim was very helpful and accommodating at our arrival, bathroom and shower facilities are very modern and clean. Always lots of interesting activities going on on their waterfront, and in the museum, so is a great place for boaters to relax and enjoy, and is only a short walk to great restaurants.

It’s a wonderful spot. We were met by a very gracious host who provided a map of the area, dining recommendations, a code to the very clean bathroom/shower facilities, and an offer to tour the interesting museum.

An incredible organization and boating community!

Thank you for accommodating us. It is very much appreciated

Wonderful stay, highly recommend! Jim was very helpful in helping us docking and orientating to the area. Close to several excellent restaurants and coffee / donut shop.

Small, quiet and accommodating. Floating dock, close proximity to restaurants, clean modern bathrooms, good power and water pressure. Everyone was friendly, helpful and very accommodating to our needs.

Very nice dockmaster and location was great.

This is the third time this year that we docked here. Each time Jim,dock master, has been absolutely wonderful. He picks up phone immediately and calls back if there is a problem on the creek. Would not want to dock at any other marina on the creek. Docks are clean and easy on-off from boat. Great marina! Ina& Don on Take It E-Sea

Dockmaster Jim is so nice it is refreshing. Great marina and museum.

Very nice facility and admission to museum is included with your dockage. Museum is small but well done! We didn't dine out but did walk into town (short walk). Several nice looking restaurants and a wine bar. Good stop.

Jim the Dockmaster was so helpful with helping us secure our boat, and explaining all that there was to do in Kingston

Beautiful area, close to restaurants. Very quaint, museum and boat building shop on site. The staff was helpful and make an extra effort to make you feel comfortable. Just wish docks were more secure at night. Could use more lighting and maybe cameras at night since the docs are very open to the public. The short walk to the bathrooms has stones and is not private or well lit. The men’s and women’s bathrooms (entry by keypad) both have a single shower each and overall the facilities are adequate.

Lovely little marina with great facilities. Staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful!!

The staff, Jim, is terrific - very knowledgeable and very friendly! Took a tour of the museum with Jim - excellent, highly recommended!

Wonderful. The Hudson River Maritime Museum is a must see. Jim is fabulous!!!

To start, I don't give five stars to marinas with out pools. That being said: the booking process was easy. The dockmaster helpful; the town had charm and there were good restaurants close by. We are 55' trawler with single screw. We got in with help at floor, left at slack without help, and enjoyed our stay. The museum is definetly worth it.

Excellent stay, great location, friendly staff. Free museum admission was a great perk!

Easy docking, nice showers, interesting museum with fun town and plenty of yummy restaurants within steps.

One of my favorite spots to stay. So deeply steeped in history.

Floating docks are great. Love the museum. Enjoyed watching the rowing teams. Dockmaster doesn't respond to radio, so we tied up in one spot and had to move once the dockmaster arrived. He was very helpful once arrived. Facilities are close by and clean.

Great marina. Good docks. Friendly staff. Very nice showers! Lot's to do in town, including the Maritime Museum, Trolley Museum, Catskill Railroad, shopping, and restaurants. Far enough from the bridge being sandblasted that there is minimal noise.

Always great staying at the museum.

We had a wonderful stay.

Great location. Staff met us at the dock and got us tied up quickly.

Many many thanks to Jim for making our visit so enjoyable. He called us to let us know that a cancellation occurred leaving a place for us on Saturday night. We stayed two nights and may very well return. The Maritime Museum is very well done and maintained to the highest standard. We highly recommend a visit here.

Easy docking and a short walk to shopping and restaurants. Jim was very helpful. The shower and bathrooms are great!

The showers have a lot to e desired.

Nice tie up in front of the museum. Water was across a little waterway so we opted not to hook up. Electricity was good. Museum is interesting and cute. We ate at Ship to Shore and had a fantastic steak dinner! Very cute little town.

Had a great stay. Right near restaurants and stores. Free ad mission to museum an added bonus. Nice bath facilities.

Excellent! Great dockmaster and great location, they even let us into the Maritime Museum even though it was officially closed.

Terrific spot. Wonderful staff and museum to visit. Don't miss.

Helpful and friendly staff. Great location on the river. Stay includes entrance for entire crew to the fantastic, if not overwhelming, museum. We’ll be back.

Great spot. Great area

Great Museum. Friendly, courteous staff. Clean restrooms.

People were great and helpful. But price does not reflect no water or sewer. Great food around town! Will stay again if we are through there.

Easy access, Good price and cute little town to stroll around. Great restaurants!

Easy docks. Good downtown location. Very nice local marine museum. Marina staff was nice enough to let us visit the museum even if it was closed that day.

Marvellous stop. The Maritime Museum is a must see. Great biking.

What a lovely town with so many restaurants and cafes to chose from within a 5 minute walk. There are several museums in the town also (and of course the maritime museum admission comes free with the docking). There are also some nice trails (especially to the NE of the town on the old rail lines). Only negative is that there isn't a good grocery store in easy walking distance (but you can get a cab to the supermarkets just out of town)

Helpful staff. Great museum experience.

Great price, great location, and great dock master. Says it all!

Very enjoyable stop. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Nice location, several good restaurants nearby. Enjoyed the museum. Well thought out and presented an interesting history. Could clean up their waterfront a bit and have a laundry.

Great location if you can get in right near downtown and clean facilities

Nice location and enjoyed the museum.

Great support at the marina and it is in a good location. Just FYI the rental car that is walking distance does not open past Saturday noon and it is closed on Sunday. This location has the train station to NYC nearby. I would return to this marina.

Great stop, informative museum, helpful staff. My only complaint was the local restaurants were a little pricey.

Great stop along the Hudson. Easy access off the river, secure location right in town. Reasonable rates, staff very helpful.

The facilities were nice and the restaurants were close.

Comfortable with restaurants close by

Helpful dockmaster and fun time at the museum.

Great spot, Jim went out of his way to let us see the museum before we had to depart

Friendly staff, dock attendants go the extra mile. Great venue!

Great reception and service.

Nice, walkable town. Friendly people.

Joshua was very helpful helping with docking. Lots of space. Very friendly folks. Clean restrooms with showers. Short walk to park and restaurants. Excellent! Many interesting boats.

helpful staff. hours and days of operation was missing from web page

Great Location. Marina staff are friendly and helpful. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops in town. Museum is also a great stop to learn more about the Hudson Valley and River. Highly recommend!

Wonderful museum and docking set up for a visit to Kingston. Great restaurants close by the marina and a nice place to visit.

Always great 👍 thanks

This is a wonderful setting and location to spend the weekend. Check-in is a breeze and it's right in an downtown.

Lovely people, fun museum and great local restaurants

Docks are well maintained and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Dockmaster and dockhand were very helpful. Great stop!

Great stay. Love the huge stable docks. We enjoy the boat traffic and will visit the HRMM gift shop before we head out. See you in the the spring of 2021.

It’s just a great place to stay and the museum is one that we really love.

Very nice facilities. John was very helpful getting us settled on the docks. And free admission to the museum was a bonus. We,'ll be back next season.

Nice people and the museum is always worth the visit. Only issue with COVID the Boaters Welcome Center is closed so the showers and bathrooms are unavailable. Not a big deal and the dockage fee goes to a good cause.

Very nice and they don’t rob you, $2 a foot. Like the town too!

Easy access to slip but by the same token, absolutely no security. Nice girl from Museum came out to catch our lines, very nice of her. When I called yesterday, the guy on the phone might have mentioned he didn’t work on Sunday 🤡

Only 3 because everything is still closed. We have been here before. The museum is great. Take the trolley out to the point. Would be a 5

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is one of our favorite destinations while we cruise the Hudson River! The museum is a great attraction in its own right and the Kingston riverfront community offers great dining and shopping opportunities.

Another enjoyable visit, our second. The tie-along-side floating pier is solid, well-maintained. The new restroom in the boat shop is available 24/7; current shower is "rustic" but clean, roomy (and a new shower will be on-line soon). Museum is a treasure! Bus makes uptown "Stockade" area easily accessible; lots of history there. Also a good base from which to rent a car to visit other nearby attractions like Hyde Park mansions.

Museum is worth a visit during your stay - the models are amazing. Part of facility is under construction and will vastly improve shoreside restrooms and showers. This will upgrade our rating. Dockmaster was very experienced and helpful - one of the few dock people that could actually cleat a line.

Nice spot. Great staff, very friendly. Museum is worth an hour or two visit. Clean facilities, shower was old, so plan to use your boat.

Nice stopping point, good facilities. Get to visit the museum as part of the cost - good museum. Restaurants nearby.

Great place to stay! Charector, charm....wonderful what there doing at the museum!

Great staff. Nice quite dock. Love it here

50A receptacle was too worn to hold the plug, so had to make do with a single 30A. Stubby posts instead of cleats on floating docks are difficult to use for tall boats - line angle risks pulling line up and off. Men's shower room could use an update. Otherwise, perfect location in town, and lots of interesting things to see in close proximity. Friendly staff.

The staff is excellent. Can’t wait to come back.

nice ,near everything , Carter the Dockmaster was great, pleasant place to stay.
