We pulled in to the Schuyler
Yacht Basin well after closing
time on September 8th, 2008 and we were greeted by Phil Dean, the owner, who happed to be working a little late
that night. Phil helped us into our slips, made sure our power was working and
provided us with TV cable cords so that we could plug into the marinas outlets. Phil
gave us a quick tour of the marina’s facilities and explained a few of the local services the town of Schuylerville had to offer. Once Phil was sure
we were settled in, we said our good nights but not before he mentioned that coffee would be on in the boaters lounge at 7am.
We spent one of our questionable
weather days (the tale end of a tropical storm) at the marina where we made good use of the on-site laundry mat, morning coffee,
and the boater’s lounge where we shared stories with Judy and Phil.
Schuyler Yacht Basin
is a must stop for anyone traveling on the Champlain Canal
(Upper Hudson River). Phil and Judy’s
attention to customer service is above and beyond the call of duty and their easy manner made us feel so welcomed for our
two night stay at the marina.
Twenty-two years ago they
were in the market for a boat – never boated before and decided it would be something that they could enjoy together. They never did buy a boat, instead they went home the proud owners of a marina. Thank goodness! This marina is a must
see and a definite stop for boaters.
Visit their website at http://www.schuyleryachtbasin.com to learn about their adventure in putting this marina together.
Phil and Judy - thank you
so much for your warm hospitality and have a great time in Mexico
this winter!!
