The megayacht berth at Chelsea Piers Marina

Why it is on the list

Chelsea Piers Marina keeps 25 of its 65 slips for megayachts, up to 350 feet, with 30, 50 and 100 amp three-phase power and guest services on duty 24 hours.¹ North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place, downtown, is closed for redevelopment.² The piers run along the Hudson between 17th and 23rd Streets, a walk from the High Line and the Meatpacking District.³¹

It is the wrong choice for a yacht over 350 feet, the longest the berths take, or for a guest who wants to come ashore unseen: the piers share their landward side with a public sports complex and event venues.¹³

How to get it

Reserve through the marina's own page or call the marina office on +1 212 336 6600; the marina manager is George Bennet.¹ Give the yacht's length and the power it needs: berths are wired for 30, 50 and 100 amp three-phase.¹ Water, floating docks, wireless internet, showers and ice are on the dock.¹

Discretion

The marina lists security among its services and guest services is staffed around the clock.¹ The piers are shared with a public sports complex, a driving range and event venues, so the landward approach is public.³
