One of my favorite marinas. Been going here for 35 to 40 years, knew Kim's father. Kim & Ethan are great hosts. Diesel is best price in state and maybe best on whole loop. Very nice place to hang your hat.

The stories about Kim and Ethan are true. They are wonderful people, honest, hardworking, and caring. Because of medical issues, what started out to be just a week off loop for some bottom work became winter storage, bottom paint, new bimini canvas, and some mechanical work over a period of 15 months. Their Travel Lift managed our 30 ton trawler with ease. Everything was handled professionally and all work was to our satisfaction. Although this is definitely a working boatyard there is still a relaxed ambiance to the place. The docks are in good shape, the grass infield is well maintained, and the office/chandlery is well stocked. Necessary items can be ordered and usually delivered the following day. Private bath/showers are clean. There is no laundry. Although the facility is on the canal it is in a 5 mph No Wake Zone that is honored by most people so there is little issue with wakes. The docks are fixed and solid. Finally, the diesel price is one of the best in the Northeast.

We left Canada late July and were fortunate to find Ess-Kay Marina on our route to the NYC area. It was early August and it so happened, that a storm from the hurricane coming north, was scheduled to pass the New York State area within days so they took precautions to drain a portion of the Erie Canal to prevent flooding along the canal area, so we were slipped at Ess-Kay for a few days. The facilities were great...... dock was excellent and the price of fuel very attractive so we filled up and stayed for a bit. The owners loaned us their car so we could go into town to shop at a Walmart and liquor/beer store. We got caught up with our laundry and stocked up on a number of items from their marine store, which is very well stocked. After a few days we moved onwards through the Erie Canal towards NYC. On our return to Canada we encountered an engine problem as bearings on the circulation pump on one of our Diesel engines gave way and the fan belt blew. After identifying the parts we needed, I called Kim at Ess-Kay and asked her if she could order the parts and install them when we arrive in a few days. We limped up the rest of the Hudson River and across the Erie Canal to Brewerton to the Ess-Kay Marina where we filled up with fuel again, slipped for one-night and were fortunate that their mechanic was able to install the new pump. They saved us a great deal of time and the cost was not a surprise. What was excellent was their hospitality, friendly attitudes, and family style marina. It felt like we were home. Thanks to the entire staff and especially to Kim for her commitment to customer satisfaction and down to earth pricing. It's also a great family story on the marina history and "The girls" should be proud to have preserved this business over the past 50+ years. Well done! Also, if you get there on a Friday the dirt track racing in the town is awesome entertainment. Again, THANKS !!!!!

We arrived (late) the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend with a severe engine vibration. Ess-Kay (Kim and Ethan) made room for us, loaned us cars and even included us in their Memorial Day BBQ. Despite the holiday weekend they started calling and texting Cummins service companies and even arranged a diver for 1st thing Tuesday morning (who ruled out any running gear damage. The "boat yard" is more like a park setting where you are made to feel like family, After a week we had our problem sorted out and at that point, almost hated to leave. We won't be passing through Brewerton without stopping next year. And - the lowest diesel fuel prices between Norfolk VA and the Great Lakes ...
