NYC Marinas
For a transient, Liberty Landing Marina is probably the best bet on the Hudson River, in the NYC area. For those of us who keep our boats there, it is a different story. Rates keep going up and services keep going down. It is the only marina in New York Harbor, that does not suffer from the wakes of the ferries, which are beating the marinas on the Hudson to death. LLM is located up the old Morris Canal and is very protected. And, as Jack says, the view is awesome. Current transient daily rate is $3.00/ft between May 15 & Oct 15. Weekly is $15.00/ft. A $5.00 boat trip and you are in downtown Manhatten in about 7 minutes (World Financial Center). For $1.00 the boat will take you across the canal, where you can walk to a number of excellent restaurants. Keep in mind, when you leave Liberty State Park, you will find yourself in beautiful downtown Jersey City. When walking on the other side of the canal, you will find yourself in a very upscale neighborhood. However, if you decide to walk around instead of taking the $1.00 boat ride, you will find yourself in the pits. The marina harbor is also afflicted with the famous Jersey City brown & white trout after a heavy rain. But, the view is really awesome. Rich L. s/v Jandaru II H410
