That would probably be Green or Blue dock. There were a few slips available last year on those docks. One good thing also with Haverstraw is there is life on the docks. So if its nasty and windy and you are stuck at the dock there are usually people around hanging out. Let me know how you make out.

Kingston is a great destination and we go at least once a year. Agreed about the restaurants and dinking.
We went there this summer for dinner one night. We were able to get in and out without a problem. A bigger boat may have issues with the depth, but I was fine.
The food was very good and the staff was great. The owner or manager was very nice and was happy to see us coming in.

Depends on several factors but ranges from $69 to $134 per foot. You also pay monthly for electric via meter readings. Pool is extra.

I'll give my two cents...we love Kingston. We finally did an "adults only" (can it Walter) trip at the end of the summer and it was great. For that, we stayed at the town docks, had an awesome dinner, music afterward and brunch in the morning. Normally though, we prefer RYB with it's pool, snack bar and little playground. With the dink, it's a short trip across the creek to the center of town where the restaurants (and museum) are.
As far as marinas go, Catskill is definitely better than RYB (IMHO). However, there's not much to do outside the marina and it's quite a bit up river so we didn't make it there this summer.

I agree with Rob, the people at cornettas are great. If I were in the area I would stop by for a huge burger and a few drinks at the outside patio. It wouldn't be a destination. But the depth is what got me one too many times last season. The great part about that area is that if cornettas is full (they have limited transient space) then Stripers or the Washington Irving Yacht Club is right across the river.
Boating Rob & Apperino -
I'm in Haverstraw on the red docks. I have two boys - 5 & 4 yrs old by this summer. We should get together / raft up etc. Send me an e-mail with phone numbers. I'll be heading up there soon to secure my slip and will let you know where we're located.
The only political agenda I carry is that I'm strongly against Heineken. All other beers are welcome aboard!!!

Were you there last year? What slip?
I am in Green 38.
I've seen big boats there but honestly can't remember the depth... Check it out: http://www.catskillmarina.com/

Right across the way in to my left then.
You will have no depth issues in the creek, even at dead-low tide. It's considered a 10' minimum. Catskill Marina has a few full-time 50'+ boats and much larger boats frequently stop there on their way up or down river. It should be a given, but be sure to keep the green buoy to port when entering the creek as there is no water (to speak of) on the other side.
Capt. Art;
You have to pay attention as you enter Catskill Creek, but as long as you follow the markers once you have cleared the mouth of the creek you have clear sailing to Catskill Marina.
It is one of our favorite get-a-ways.

Just follow the markers and you are OK, Pleny of water in channel...Plenty at the slips as well...Current can be strong after a heavy rain storm. As someone mentioned, only have to make sure you dont pass the one light house on the wrong side. Check the charts for it, I dont remeber the number or name but its a couple miles before the creek entrance....
Going up the Hudson is my favorite ride. No other local trip within 150 miles is so enjoyable. Instead of looking at just endless water or beach shore you really get an up close view of the majestic cliffs, NY Skyline & fantastic natural ever changing scenery on both sides as you travel. The deep water is also a big plus as you don't have to watch every mile you go. Anyone who never made this ride is missing a major boating experience. Just mu .02
