U-Drive Boat Rental makes it super easy; everything from from reserving the boat to getting out on the water is a a breeze Andy and his dedicated staff will do whatever it takes to ensure a terrific day on the lake - they even offer to help load your bags onto the boat. The views are spectacular and the water is divine so don't forget your bathing suits! The boats are in tip top shape and most have a nice shade awning to get out of the sun if you like. All boats are equipped with life jackets so you can put one on and float in the water - which is also lovely to do! Plan to spend at least 3 or 4 hours, I guarantee you will not want to see your day on the boat end. We will definitely do this again.. Thanks U-Drive Boat Rental!! Lori and Friends.

It's truly a great experience to leave the city behind and head up the Hudson to see eagles and greenery. I love industrial things, like scrap yards and power plants and it was good to see that too. I loved learning a bit about the history of the river, as well as the area, and modern conservation efforts to protect the environment. It was a pleasant outing of serenity, which I needed and appreciated. Many thanks to Captain Frank, staff, and crew!

This was EASILY the best thing I've ever done!…read more Same thing I did in Puerto Rico, I couldn't decide which company to go with so I called several and first one who answered got my business. I'm glad it was Costa Sol Rafting. Make sure you book at least a day in advance, a week or 2 during busy season. They will pick you up so don't bother driving. We were at a Hostel in San Jose. First of all. I don't care what anyone says. Our guides Jorge and Ronnie kept us alive. 3 out of the 6 of us fell out of the boat during our 1st class 4 rapids. I was lucky enough to have stayed on the boat so I was privileged to see Jorge and Ronnie work under pressure. They were absolute experts while shouting commands at those in the water and at us in the boat. We all made it out! Sounds scary? Look people. You're white water rafting class 1 to 4 rapids. So don't complain how dangerous it is. Go to the rivers that offer only cute class ones if class 4 is not your thing. If my rescue story isn't enough reason to choose Costa Sol Rafting, not sure what you're looking for. All the companies raft the same Pacuare River. BUY THE DISK!!! Check out my pics. Your camera or Gopro will not duplicate the skills of Ronnie. He was an amazing camera man! He also did barrel rolls in his kayak. Such a beast. Oh and they feed you before AND after! Yay! Both restaurants were delish. Thank you Jorge! Thank you Ronnie! Thank you Costa Sol Rafting! PURA VIDA!

We chose Coeymans Landing Marina to haul, dismantle, and load the boat for shipping to South Dakota at the end of the trip. We chose Coeymans only because a lot of other online reviews were good and they used to be a big Mainship dealer in the 1990's. We pulled up on a windy Saturday morning. Five people helped us in -- a combination of marina employees and just friendly slipholders. Owners Hedy and Carl were very, very friendly and helpful. We went over the dismantling with Eric the service yard foreman for about half an hour, and then left to fly back to SD -- and they took it from there. Eric was fantastic. Without my even asking, he texted us photos of the work literally every few hours. The props had gotten damaged on the trip and Eric took care of getting them shipped out, reconditioned and rebalanced by a service in Newburgh, and then delivered back to Coeymans just in time to get loaded on the 18-wheeler. They did a fantastic job on prepping the boat for shipping, replaced the aft air conditioning unit because the old one was shot, and loaded that boat so well that everything arrived in South Dakota in good shape after a 1,500 mile road trip -- and all for a very reasonable price. We couldn't be happier with Coeymans, we got lucky.
