• At Donovan’s Shady Harbor Marina,
    It’s All About Our Customers

    Being boaters all of our married lives, we understand the importance of being treated right wherever our boat takes us. The way we see it, a positive attitude, and a strong desire to create a fun environment are most important. We hope to see you regularly as we continually improve upon our facilities. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

    —Brian and Kathy Donovan

  • It all begins with an idea...

    After traveling the Hudson River by water for many years, we believe this section of the river is one of the most beautiful areas, with spectacular views that our guests are only able to enjoy 6 months of the year.

     

    Our vision is to add residential housing and develop a multi-use property that combines the existing full-service marina, retail shop and restaurant to create a year-round community.

     

    Our goals in this development are to preserve the natural beauty of the property, while providing much needed housing to the region, with limited impact on the surrounding community.
