Very nice marina with great dock help. Docks are floating which is great. Restrooms are nice. No laundry at Marina. Ice is cheap Maritime Museum has free admission for people who dock here. Restaurants very close by and some stores. Ole Savannah has great Happy Hour with free appetizers. Groceries and other places a little farther away. There is a free bus service but you hardly see them! There are Lyfts and Ubers available. Kingston is very spread out but an interesting stop.

Thanks to the dockmaster Steve and Sebastian! They were most helpful with docking. Steve even brought us a portable table for docktails! This is a scenic marina located at Hal Moon Condos. The restrooms were clean and private. There is even a sauna! There is a wonderful laundry service My 3 Suds that picks up and drops off laundry! Very Reasonable prices ($25 minimum 1.45 per pound). There is an Enterprise car Rental within walking distance (less than a mile). There are many wonderful trips that are a quick car ride away (CIA, West Point, FDR house and museum, etc) Restaurants and grocery and drug stores are a little farther walk. Piatia Greek was worth the walk! The Greek food here is authentic and truly delicious. There is even outside seating. The train station to NYC is an Uber ride away. St Augustine Episcopal Church is the most welcoming church we have been! We even had a ride back to the marina from a parishioner. I would definitely come back here. Free Pump out was on your way out and worked great!

There are Very nice dock hands and wide floating docks. That is the only nice thing about this Marina. The restrooms were boarded up with padlocks on the door. It's a very unsafe area although there is a locked gate to get into the marina. If you like to gamble the smokey casino is right here.

Rustic Marina with great marine store. The docks are floating and some are longer than others. Good location to town and 3 restaurants. Lobster House has 5 restaurants at one location with different menus. Try the clam Pizza at Crazy Bones and the scallops and clams at Mayors!

Very nice marina with great view if you are toward the front. Some of the docks are pretty short so it may be difficult to get on and off. It was rough while we were there so it was rocky but not as bad as other marinas. Walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Nice Marina next to a park. Restrooms were very clean and there is a washer and dryer for $. )Beware the dryer did not automatically shut off.) It's very quiet town with lots of dog walkers. You can walk downtown to restaurants, shops and a great brewery RAR but it is a least a mile there and back. There is not a lot to do because Ubers/Lyfts are very limited. There are free bikes to borrow at the marina. Harriet Tubman Museum was only open Thursday through Sunday 12-3.

Very nice place right next door to a beautiful yacht club. Ideal location walking distance to restaurants, Naval Academy and shops. Shout out to Mills liquor store who delivered! Dockside Bar and Grill has fantastic crab cakes and cute outdoor seating area. So many fabulous restaurants. We were there during the Blue Angels right before Memorial Day. What a terrific show. Do the Naval Academy walking tour and the informative trolley tour. The weather was very windy so Marina can rolling. Docks are fixed and tide not too bad. There are laundry facilities and private showers which is an added perk.

This will be a very nice Marina once they get the construction done. The ladies showers need a remodel. The restaurant at the marina Fish and Slips was great! Good extended happy hours too! It's over half mile one way to walk to town. It's a cute town with lots of restaurants. Sadly Biergarten was closed. Thai Basil has great Thai food. There is a ferry close by that takes you to into Norfolk for $2 ($1 for seniors).

Brian the dock hand is fantastic. He goes above and beyond to help. Poor guy is super busy so he may be hard to get hold of. They have a very long hose to pump out which is handy. Gate is locked at night. The showers are a walk away. Yorktown pub has great food and beers. The free trolly runs from 10-5. It takes you around town and to museums and the monument which is great. Grace Episcopal Church was so welcoming. Part of the town is an uphill climb but downtown is flat.

Great place! Lots of help docking and friendly staff. Laundry room but there is a charge to use. Free towels, soap and shampoo in showers with private doors. Outdoor bar and great seating outside the dock. Restaurant on premises but we went to M&M for soft shell crab!

Very rustic marina in the middle of Nowhere! Showers were in need of update as was the lounge. Washers and dryers were available for $2 each. Cold well water only. We were there 2 nights due to bad weather. Food at gas station was surprisingly good. Docks were reasonably priced and were good in wind. Can be difficult to get off the docks. Dock help was sporadic.
