The award comes less than one year after Shattemuc
completed an extensive expansion and upgrade of its marina,
and less than four years since the Department of Fish &
Wildlife awarded Shattemuc a boating infrastructure grant of
over $590,000 to encourage boating on the Hudson River.
“We are not only one of the oldest yacht clubs on the Hudson,
dating back to 1884, but now we are considered one of the best
in the U.S.” said David Westcott, SYC Commodore. “We are
very proud of this award and look forward to welcoming
many more boaters to our club in the future.”
A few of the boater reviews from Marinas.com
summed up their experience at Shattemuc:
“This is a fantastic club with great members.
Very welcoming and excellent facilities. Wonderful
restaurants within walking distance or by cab.” 5-stars
“This place is really nice. Probably the best club on
the lower Hudson. Great docks with good protection.
Stable 30amp and 50amp electric service. free water
hookup. rock solid wifi (with enough bandwidth to easily
stream movies). Really nice people. And unbelievably
beautiful sunsets.” 5-stars
For a limited time, Shattemuc has reduced its slip
rates approximately 25% to $49/foot for members.
“With our expanded marina, we want to offer a special
rate to boaters, who want to become members” said
Robert Benjamin, SYCs Rear Commodore. “It’s a
great deal, but we can only offer it as long as we have
slips.”
Shattemuc Yacht Club spent over $1.5 million
dollars on expanding and upgrading its marina. It chose the
construction of a wave-attenuator dock system that both
protects the boats in the marina and the environment. The
dock system is based on a series of massive floating concrete
docks which break up waves, providing a calm marina for all
boaters, while allowing for the free passage of
fish and other marine life, and clear sightlines to
the Palisades across the river.
Village of Ossining Mayor Victoria Gearity
commented, “We are very excited about
the opportunity to welcome more boaters to
Ossining’s glorious waterfront. Kudos to the
leaders at Shattemuc for their dedication and
vision to lead this effort”.
