Hudson Valley Watersports - Kingston, New York

Took a Memorial Day weekend day trip with my wife and daughter from New Jersey to Kingston NY. The ride was 1 hr and 30 minutes. Beautiful ride in. We arrived to Hudson Valley Watersports shortly after 12 noon and the weather was perfect. I enjoyed the afternoon in the kayak with my 7 year old daughter while my wife enjoyed the hydro bikes. HVW were really accommodating with restroom and life vest for all sizes. Restroom was clean and well maintained. They were really helpful in recommending food places to try after a great day in the water.

We really enjoyed our day trip and created lots of fun memories. We can’t wait to go back with friends and some of the other activities.

OMG.... More fun then we have had in such a long time. We bike, hike, kayak but have never biked on the Hudson. Gio is so nice and so is his family. Plus he is retired Coast Guard so go support him. This was so easy and so much fun. If you are coming to the area , forget the "Walkway", there are no rude obnoxious people on the water. We did the 2 hour rental and went to the end of the rondout and back. I can't believe I didn't know about this until now, this will be a regular event for us. Thank you Gio for a fantastic afternoon!!!!

We had a great day out on the water! We did part of the time on the floating bikes and kayaks and then took a whaley boat out once we were tired. The floating bikes were surprisingly easy and very stable. You don’t even get splashed while pedaling! The owner and his staff were knowledgable, really nice, and great with our kid. Also since it is located in the middle of a very long no wake area, it is a great place for beginners. We’ll definitely come back the next time we’re in the area!

We had such a great time on Gio's boat yesterday. He was so nice & accommodating, & went out of his way to make our day a fun one. His boat is new & really comfortable. Gio's vast knowledge of the Hudson River & it's surrounding areas added to the tour's experience.
I would definitely recommend to family & friends.

My family and I, 2 children included, toured with HV Watersports on 6/7/21. I must stress how professional and attentive Gio, the company CEO was. Not only was he professional but knowledgeable as well. He is a US Coast Guard and certified Captain which put any worries we had at ease. We toured up the Hudson River and had an amazing experience. We even pulled right up to a dock and dined and The Hudson Water Club Restaurant for lunch by the water. The kids had a blast! I will definitely recommend this company and will absolutely be back on the boat with friends this summer! Book now you won't be disappointed!!

Our family had a great afternoon with Captain Gino and his boat. The boat is NEW, very well kept, and super clean. We were able to connect to the boat’s Bluetooth which has amazing speakers and we were able to listen to all our music. Gino is very knowledgeable when it comes to the Hudson Valley and gave us an excellent tour. I’ve lived in NY my entire life and was exposed to things I’ve never seen before. The boat provides excellent shade but if you like the sun, there are sections you can sit in and soak it in as well. We felt very safe with the captain’s piloting and he provided a life-vest for everyone onboard. I recommend this experience for all occasions.

Captain Gio made my sons 9th birthday a day to always remember. It was a great tubing trip and Gio was awesome. Lots of laughs and wonderful memories. All my children ages 14, 9 & 5 had a blast even I did tubing and it was fun. Definitely a wonderful experience and I hope to do it again!
