places to go on the hudson....
 

hey guys,
Me and a couple of friends are gonna take a ride up the Hudson on Monday.. any place to dock overnight with a hotel/motel nearby... and also a couple of places to stop for a refreshment, and gas stops.. looking to go up pretty far, i'm open to suggestions
Thanks

How far are you looking to go. Are you looking for a overnighter or a couple nights. The best place I can think of would be the Catskill marina. Which would be a nice trip from Staten Island. I'm guessing 3-4 hours one way. They have a pool and nice amenties. Just watch your water on the way up.

3-4 hours is cool.... what do you mean by "watch your water"? depth? or rough? thanks by the way and probably just overnight not sure yet

Its gets very shallow outside the channel so make sure you pay attention to the bouy's and stay in the the channel.

Other than that it's a great trip. If you think your going to make the trip PM me and I'll fill you in on some more details gas & food etc....

castskill is very nice. you can also stop at the roundout creek on your way up for a nice dinner. there are some nice places to eat in there.

In Esopus theres a lighthouse out in the channel---make sure you go to the right of it on the way up (north)-its marked but very decieving! Its about 3mi south of the Kingston lighthouse witch is the entrance to rondout creek, a must stop for food grog & fuel!:ernaehrung004:

i just went up to catskill and turned around and went to roundout last friday. i go up to catskill every year for a weekend but i havent been to roundout in a long time. so i decided to go there. i eat at the steelhouse. awsome place!! running up to the catskills is a great trip. i dont know of any hotels near by (always stay on the boat). very relaxing up there. there is a marina that is right on the river with no brake wall ( between pough. and kingston) that is a no wake zone. make sure to slow down. ive seen many boats get stopped for not slowing down.

i think your talking about rogers point. i just stay way to the other side of the river and no one bothers you.

that does sound like it. i think your right if you stay far to the other side you should be ok. ive just seen alot of people get stopped.

also i was stopped just south of the marina last friday comming home. they were doin safety stops. nice guys.

yea they were real heavy with the stops last week. a friend of mine has a 29 outlaw and they got popped going to gullys last friday. they really busted his chops. they swore up and down there was drugs being ran on the boat. they made him go into shore and have the dogs check the boat out. and when they counld not find anything, they wrote him up for no flares and told him his night is done and had to go home. :mad:

what is the name of the boat. there was a 29 i was running with for a few miles on friday. nice boat.

he bought it like that. it says ''cha $$$$ ching" on the back. we want to pull it off of there soon though. its white with purple and yellow strips. there great guys.

that was him. it was a nice boat. he docked next to me at roundout. i didnt see him dock. as i was leaving i went to get gas and he pulled out in front of me and we both ran south. nice lookin boat. nice guys we waved to each other and i think someone on his boat took a pic of me.

he did say something about running with a 25 outlaw last week i didnt know it was you. i will find out whos got the pic and if its good i will send over to you.

thanks. that would be great.
