Fun stay!

We stayed on the boat as a stopover on our trip. It was really fun. The host was super friendly and helpful. There’s a nice restaurant right in the marina. I would definitely stay on the boat again.

What a fun place to stay! Everything was clean and well cared for. We never saw any eagles but I think two families of ducks had a turf war for our Cheerios. We were in town for a music festival and let me tell you -- there's no better conversation starter than, "We're staying in a yacht!"
The ducks like their Cheerios breakfast.

What a fun and unique experience! Kids enjoyed so much with fishing first thing after waking up and wrapped the night with some night fishing. The yacht is very comfortable and spacious with the deck space. Creekside restaurant by the marina also has great food. Makes it so convenient if anyone just wants to stay on the ship to relax. High recommend and can't wait to spend more nights on Melissa's yacht!!!

Beautiful Time on the Beautiful Yacht!

We had a relaxing and unique vacation on the beautiful yacht. Our hosts welcomed us and were very helpful. The marina has a swimming pool, showers, and the excellent Creekside Restaurant. The boat is close to all the local restaurants and attractions, including the Cole and Church historic homes. We added a sunset pontoon boat ride to the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, captained by our host. Our entire stay was so enjoyable. I highly recommend the beautiful yacht for vacation!

The Beautiful Yacht was a dream stay. The yacht is well-maintained and comfortable. Even though there is no oven/stove, the kitchen was stocked with all the kitchen needs with a coffee maker and microwave. The marina has a swimming pool, showers, and the Creekside Restaurant, which is excellent. The Thomas Cole and Frederick Church historic homes are nearby - the reason we went to Catskill. Our hosts also own pontoon boats. We did a wonderful sunset sail to the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse in the Hudson River. Our stay on the yacht was relaxing and peaceful. I highly recommend staying on the Beautiful Yacht!

Wonderful Night on the Catskill

My mother and I came down over Memorial Day weekend for a wedding over in Hudson. We had never stayed overnight on a boat before but Melissa and AJ were lovely - easy check-in process and lovely area! Our favorite was having a class of wine on the back of the boat in the evening. Nice quiet area. Mom and I often get seasick but we barely felt anything with movement at the dock. The boat does have a small fridge and a bathroom with a shower. Plenty of space for 3-5 people to fit comfortably. Definitely would recommend!

Why they chose this property

Hop-O-Nose Marina is located within walking distance to Main Street Catskill. There are many shops, restaurants and cafes all along Main Street. Dutchman’s Landing is a great park that is also within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

Staying onboard on our yacht is truly unique. Taking in the beauty of the Catskill Creek during the day while feeding the ducks is so amazing. Sitting in the cockpit under the blue lights on the yacht looking up at the stars is truly magical! Best place to unwind, unplug and relax.
