Questions about the Hudson River and NYC

[Kriscappiello]

Hi All,

We're planning a 3-4 day cruise down the Hudson River to NYC and back. Are we going to need special permits or licenses to camp/sail along the route? We have a 20 ft, 5 passenger cabin cruiser and it will be our first cruise. Any helpful hints are appreciated. Thanks alot!

Nothing needed. It's a great trip. I've always anchored but there are lots of marinas along the river.

Pull into the Rondout Creek when you get to Kingston. There is a great sailing community here, along with some excellent restaurants and shops. Stop and say hello.
